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.
I also voluntary teach 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.
