Are you keen to have a crack at costuming but don’t know where to start?

Got a brilliant vision for an outfit but new to sewing?

Then this is the class for you!

In this four-hour workshop, Catherine from Crystal Pegasus Costumes will lead you through the basics of both machine and hand sewing. You’ll practice working with different types of materials (including stretch, non-stretch and chiffon), be introduced to the different parts of a sewing machine, learn a range of stitches and plan out what sewing is required for a specific project. You will sew a simple gift bag – perfect for the upcoming holidays! This class is a one-day, four-hour workshop. It is a gentle and fun class – open to all genders and suitable for anyone from complete beginners at sewing to someone keen for a refresher!

What to bring:

If you have your own basic sewing kit (hand sewing needles, glass headed sewing pins, fabric scissors, thimble) then please bring it along, otherwise tools can be provided. Students are required to bring their own sewing machine or hire one for use on the day (see below).

NOW OFFERING SEWING MACHINE LOAN:

If you do not have your own sewing machine, we have a limited number of machines that can be provided for students for use at the studio during class. Reserve yours at booking, for a fee of $20.
