❓Has your daughter or son got a sewing machine but either needs teaching how to use it properly or needs to build their confidence with it (especially if you're not so hot with a sewing machine yourself)?

🙁 Are they maybe a bit shy about practicing more at school because there's not time, the other kids muck about in class or are they worried they will be laughed at?

🤩 In which case, book her or him onto my Kids' Sewing Workshop during the Easter Holidays (held at the Larruperz Centre in Ross) where I will be teaching the kids how to make make a fabric Trinket Pot (perfect for storing hair scrunchies, jewellery, treasured bits and pieces, or a secret stash of sweets).

🤓 We will be building skills with threading the machine and bobbin, learning how to change a needle, how to stitch in a straight line, how to use interfacing, and how to to top stitch.

🥳 You daughter or son will be amongst other children who love to sew and want to learn, and I promise a day of lots of fun, giggles and they will come away with a stitched item that they will be very proud of.

😎 Not to mention - you get a few hours to yourself (#justsaying 😉)

🧵 Cost: £55 for the day including snacks and everything needed to make the trinket pot. (😎 Pssst...the Easter bunny may come too with some mini easter eggs to put in it!)

🛑 Please make sure your child brings a packed lunch and their sewing machine, power cables and foot pedal, bobbins and any of the machine accessories they have (like extra presser feet), and the manual if it has one.

⭕️ This workshop is best suited to children aged 9+, mainly due to their fine motor ability that has developed by then, and their ability to concentrate (well, a little better!) in a group of other kids. Please contact me if your child is 8...I have taught many excellent 8 year olds!

😍 I am a very experienced sewing teacher, Enhanced DBS approved, and have taught adults, children and vulnerable adults for many years.  My adult assistant for the day is also Enhanced DBS approved.
