Hand sewing - seams and hems
About
Hand sewing - seams and hems
Clothes have been sewn by hand for over 30,000 years. Want to try hand sewing a garment or add hand stitches to your sewing repertoire? Welcome to a course where you learn to use seams and hems to create durable and stylish finished lines and edges. In the process, you learn to appreciate another aspect of hand sewing – the freedom to remove, redo and change stitches. In this class, you will learn skills such as pinning and hemming fabric, pressing seams, fixing broken seams, and using backstitches to create seams.
You'll learn
- Pin and hem fabric
- Joining fabric by hand with strong straight seams
- Finish and press seams
Included
The course includes fabric, as well as needle and thread to make your own sewing sample. You also get an instruction sheet for stitches and techniques. Coffee, tea and simple fika are included.
Structure
1 occasion, 3h
Please note
The course is suitable for both beginners and more experienced students. If working with fabric is completely new to you, I recommend that you start with the Hand Sewing BASICS course.
