At my children's secondary school I have started a sewing class.  The children are really excited and learning fast.  Fingers crossed that this is a success.

Teaching a group of ladies to use a sewing machine whilst also teaching them quilting!  great fun, a chill out and socialising!  Great for the mental health!

Teaching Sewing

A few years ago I went on a one day course and was taught how to use a sewing machine.


Over the years of machine sewing, I have built up my skills and confidence. Other than being taught how to use a sewing machine I have taught myself all that I know. Since sewing seems to be coming back 'into fashion' people are now wanting to learn.


The past few weeks I prepped and have taught a number of ladies how to machine quilt.  So far we have a good three quarters of a quilt top ready to be sewn together (photo below)  This project is for a community centre and the quilt will be hanging proudly on the wall for all to see! 


Not only have the ladies learnt a new skill but we all have had lots of laughs too. I am a firm believer that sewing is therapeutic.  


I am also teaching sewing at a local school.  My aim for the children to be able to make their own quilts, cushions etc.  I think they will enjoy the handmade crafts teaching.  Arts and crafts seem to be more popular than they were. 


Maybe one day I can start my own sewing school.  I am really enjoying teaching sewing.
