Learn to Sew with Stitched Up at Stretford Mall
Carmel Smickersgill, Tours & Activities Editor
Stitched Up are a small not for profit cooperative, whose passion is empowering people to get behind a sewing machine in the name of sustainability. If you’re a complete beginner to sewing but have ambitions of building your technical arsenal of skills, their three week beginner course is the perfect thing to put you on the right track.
They run a series of workshops, courses and classes where you can get to grips with he basics of sewing and begin to. When you first start you’ll pass your sewing machine driving test. This is a comprehensive crash course in building skills and confidence for those who are yet to put foot to pedal. Learning how to thread and set up a machine efficiently will massively help you as you get further down the line and take on increasingly ambitious projects.
If you’re already a convert to sewing machine life, we heartily recommend calling into the Stitched Up shop in Stretford Mall (opposite Boots), to peruse their lovely curated collection of quirky fabrics, haberdashery essentials and hardware diverted away from landfill.
