Young Makers Beginners Sewing Class – Royton

Learn to sew through fun, hands‑on making

This small group class is perfect for ages 9 to 14 who want to learn to sew in a relaxed, creative, and confidence‑boosting environment.

Young Makers learn best by doing, so we get into the making quickly. The technical bits — threading, tension, stitch length, and all the machine basics — are picked up naturally as we go. It’s practical, playful, and definitely doesn’t feel like school.

Join us for a 2‑hour sewing session in Royton, where we’ll learn the essentials, practise together, and complete a simple project they’ll be excited to show off.

Bring your own sewing machine or borrow one of mine. All materials, guidance, and encouragement are included.

What we cover

We learn the basics through hands‑on making, including:

• Threading the machine

• Understanding tension

• Changing the needle

• Simple maintenance

• Stitch length and width

• What the dials do

• Starting, stopping, and back‑tacking

• Winding the bobbin

• Top‑stitching

• Changing direction

• Helpful hints, tips, and troubleshooting

By the end, they’ll feel confident using a sewing machine and ready to take on more creative projects.
