The Creative Barn

Is your sewing machine still living in its box?

Did you buy one full of excitement… only to discover it appears to require the engineering degree you forgot to take?

Does threading make you question your life choices?

This class is for you.

Join Sarah for a friendly, practical and refreshingly jargon-free workshop designed to help you actually understand your sewing machine without wanting to launch it through a window.

Bring your machine along and let’s get you stitching with confidence.

Together we'll tackle the things that trip most people up, including:

• Threading your machine properly
• Bobbins – the tiny plastic chaos goblins of the sewing world
• Tension basics made simple
• What all those feet actually do
• Stitch settings without the panic
• Needles – yes, they matter more than you think!
• Common problems and easy troubleshooting
• Improving stitch quality
• Sewing machine confidence and good habits

There will be plenty of hands-on practice, time for questions and absolutely no silly questions allowed… because we’ve all been there.

Perfect for:

• Complete beginners
• Rusty sewists returning to sewing
• Anyone who owns a machine but isn’t entirely convinced they’re on speaking terms yet
• People who suspect their machine manual was written by an overexcited robot

Bring your own sewing machine, power lead, foot pedal and manual if you have it.

Leave with fewer mysteries, more confidence and the feeling that you and your sewing machine might just have a future together after all.

Tea, encouragement and a reassuring lack of judgement included.

Warning: this class may lead to increased sewing confidence, fabric purchases and an alarming desire to start new projects.
