Sew Your First Project on a Sewing Machine

Imagine the pride on your child's face when they finish a project they've made themselves!

This fun and creative workshop introduces young makers to the rewarding world of slow fashion, where clothing is valued, creativity is celebrated, and learning practical skills helps shape a more sustainable future.

• Pin a pattern onto fabric
• Cut fabric accurately from a pattern
• Sew strong, neat seams
• Insert elastic

These valuable skills can be applied to future projects such as shorts, skirts and elastic-waisted pants, giving children the confidence to continue making and creating at home and or at further ReDress Hub workshops.
