Sew with Nelly Bea Thursday Sewing Session 16th Oct 25

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS AN ADULTS ONLY EVENT - I am available on a 121 basis for sewing session with young people under the age of 18.

You are booking a single two hour session from 2pm-4pm which I will be hosting at THE HALL ON THE HILL, St. Catherine's Hill, Christchurch.

Do the following questions apply to you? If so this workshop is FOR YOU!

Are you frustrated that you just can’t get clothes to fit?

Do you fancy some down time or just want to sew?

Would you like some help from a qualified textiles teacher and experience seamstress?

These sessions are open to all whether your skills are none existent or advanced. What you choose to make is your choice, see below for guidance.

Please note I am a qualified textiles teacher and experienced seamstress and pattern cutter. I will be there to help you on your sewing journey but this dressmaking session is not a structured workshop, it is an open session where you can work on your own project with my support.

The skills you will learn will depend upon the product you choose to make but may include:

• Developing your sewing machine skills
• How to create an open seam, hem and neaten
• How to complete fastening such as zips and button& buttonholes
• How to hand stitch
• how to create decorative features
• How to use and read and adapt a commercial pattern

You will need to bring a project with you. If you are a complete beginner you will need to select a simple or easy beginners pattern and choose a woven fabric to work with. I am happy to answer any queries or questions you may have to help you select a suitable project. Please just email me on bmVsbHliZWFkZXNpZ25zIHwgZ21haWwgISBjb20=.

I can loan you a sewing machine for the session but these need to be BOOKED IN ADVANCE by messaging me.

Equipment is available for you to use on the day.
