Description:

A Saturday day class aimed at beginners, or students who would like to improve on their sewing skills. If you love our fabrics and want to brush up on your skills, this is a great project.

You’ll create our Carrier Bag which is inspired by a classic everyday design which features French seams and an added lining.

Time – 10 – 5 (breaking one hour for lunch).

At the beginning of the class you’ll get a demonstration on how you thread up a sewing machine, wind on a bobbin, and all of the basics of straight sewing, reversing etc. You’ll then have a go on some scrap fabrics before starting your project for the day.

In this class you’ll be making our Carrier bag.

You are very welcome to move onto another project if you finish your first within the time.

We will cover the following:

Getting to grips with the sewing machine, how to thread and find your way around all the nuts and bolts.
How seam allowances work and why we use them.
Using a paper pattern and cutting out correctly.
How to do French seams.

What is included in your class:

Indian handloom fabric and lining fabric for the carrier bag.
10% off all purchases in the shop.
Plentiful supply of tea/coffee and cake.
All relevant Merchant & Mills tools and notions for the day.

Lunch is not included. Rye has a plentiful array of cafes to sit in or places to buy take away food. We have a large kitchen table where you can bring things back to eat or bring your own.

The Studio:

The studio is on the mezzanine above the shop, so we have all fabric and notions on hand. You will be using an array of Merchant & Mills tools. We have Bernina sewing machines and two overlockers. Everything you'll need is here, there's no need to bring your own kit!

Each student has ample space in which to cut out and work in, with plentiful natural light.

Accessibility:

Our studio is currently only available via stairs. We are always thinking of ways in which we can improve accessibility for the future.

Dogs and service dogs:

As a dog friendly workplace, please be aware that we have a few well-behaved dogs on site most days.

We cannot accommodate dogs on the retreats or classes however, registered service dogs are welcome, please let us know at the time of booking if you will be bringing your service dog.

Terms & Conditions:

In the unlikely event that we have to cancel a class we will offer a transfer to a new date or a full refund.
