Course Content

This is a creative, hands on and inspiring course for anyone who would like to try designing and making items for a beautiful summer celebration or to simply decorate your home over the summer months.

This course will teach you the skills to be able to tailor make items using the sewing machine such as custom bunting, table runners and other decorations of your choice. You will learn how to recycle and upcycle items from your home including using natural materials, recycled objects and garments no longer worn into beautiful summer themed decorations. You will be taught in a fun and relaxed environment alongside other like-minded learners.

The course is suitable for learners who have but some basic knowledge of using the sewing machine would be an advantage. It is also suitable for those with more experience in sewing as there will be ample opportunity to stretch your skills further by developing more complex designs and range of techniques.
