What do I get out of learning to sew?

  • A fun, creative filled time. Confidence in your abilities as a sewer. Having the wherewith all to create great gifts for friends and family. The satisfaction of making your own unique items not found in the shops. The ability to renew, reuse and recyle old and worn out clothes/bedding/curtains, a great feel good factor. What a skill to acquire, to be able to say you can sew. Learn a skill, gain confidence, be creative!
