Sew Smooth: Intermediate Sewing Machine Course

For the next intake of the Sew Smooth Intermediate, we have two courses, Tuesday morning at Te Kete Aronui - Rototuna Library and Wednesday afternoon at Chartwell Library

Sign up for our morning class running from 10am-12pm OR our afternoon class from 1-3pm. For both classes you will be guided through how to sew a duffel bag. The duffel bag includes a lining, zip and external pockets.

The sewing machines, thread, and necessary tools will be provided, or you can bring your own machine; however, you must purchase your own fabric and other materials. Details about the materials needed will be provided upon registration.

These workshops are for people who have attended the Sew Smooth Beginners course or those who are comfortable using sewing machines.

PLEASE NOTE:

  • The number of our library sewing machines is limited, so if you have your own sewing machine, we encourage you to bring it.

  • Please sign up only if you can attend all six classes.

  • Due to high demand, you are allowed to sign up for only one course, either in the morning or the afternoon.

These courses began on 11 and 12 August. Check back here next term!
