Sewing Skills: An Introduction
Sewing Skills: An Introduction
Learning to sew is such a useful skill to have, yet we seem to have lost the ability over the last few decades. Times are a changing and learning how to repair clothes, sew on buttons and understand the basic stitches is a good start to building up a skill we should all have.

During this eight week introductory course you will learn and practice a variety of sewing techniques by making samples. Topics will be covered in a logical order enabling you to build up a portfolio of essential sewing skills.
You will then be able to apply these techniques outside of the classroom to make up a garment of your choice.
This course is non-accredited so you will not be assessed. It is for personal development and fun!
This eight week course runs on a Tuesday 18:00 – 20:00, Pembrokeshire College Main Campus.
