PROJECTS MADE AND SKILLS COVERED
Below, you will find a list of skills that your child will be taught during our online lessons. They do not need to have any prior knowledge to join - if anything, it's better if they don't!
Although it is a beginner's group, I do provide projects that progress their skills in a structured and considered way. I aim to keep them motivated through creating projects that extend their learning - leaving the simpler projects for them to try independently themselves when they have time.
BEGINNER GROUP: HALF TERM ONE
Machine Skills
Wind a bobbin, thread a sewing machine and practise control skills.
