About this course

Led by Stitchery Founder Cassandra Belanger, this 3-hour taster is designed to give you an introduction to the wonderful world of sewing. This taster session will equip you with foundational skills that can be applied to a range of projects. The setting for this session is the relaxing, social atmosphere of The Stitchery Studio as part of The Stitchery’s Festive Open Studio weekend. Visit our studio, try out a sewing taster session and browse the fabrics and finds from our creative friends and neighbours.
