Take your sewing skills to the next level and gain the confidence to tackle more complex projects. Build on the basics while learning the techniques used to make your own clothes.

 

For confident beginners who are comfortable with the basics of using a sewing machine and are ready to take their sewing skills further.

 

In the first half of the term, we'll work through a range of techniques commonly used in clothing — including different types of seams, sleeves, zips, gathering, waistbands, facings, bindings, darts and stretch fabrics — using practical mini-samplers to build your skills. In the second half, you'll put those skills into practice as you work on your own individual project.

 

This class is a great next step after our Beginner class, but you can also join if you have some previous sewing experience. By the end of the term, you'll have a stronger understanding of garment construction, a range of sewing skills, and the confidence to tackle a wider range of sewing projects independently.

 

Thursday 6.30-8.30pm

 

This class is also available at our other locations. Email hello@threadroom.co.nz for more information.

 

"The classes at Thread Room are top notch! I've started at beginner plus and am now tackling big projects. All the tutors have been patient, engaged and very experienced. I'm loving the confidence I'm gaining in making new things. Wherever you are on your sewing journey, Thread Room is the place to be!!"

Classes are held at the top entrance of the church. We will send through parking instructions before classes start.

 

Classes run for eight weeks, starting Thursday 22 October.

 

 

There is no need to bring anything to the first few classes, as we'll be working through different sewing techniques.

 

Once we begin working on individual projects, you'll need to bring your own project and any required fabric and materials. Your tutor will advise you on what you'll need.

 

All machine use is included. If you'd prefer to bring your own machine, just let us know and we'll send you some additional information about what to bring.
