Dates for beginners Sew Inn classes @ Tessuti Surry Hills, Sydney
Anyone interested in learning to sew? Our wonderful Sew Tessuti contributor Georgia, is very keen to start teaching what she knows at Tessuti’s Sew Inn classes.
First up Georgia will start teaching the basics, from threading a machine, various stitches, seams and hems, to reading a commercial pattern and working out what size to cut and learning to lay them out onto fabric, ready for cutting. Soon enough Georgia will have you sewing up creations like this , this and eventually this and this!
Here are dates for Georgia’s classes at Tessuti Surry Hills, Sydney – 110 Commonwealth Street – PH: 02 9211 5536.

PS. Look out for the pattern review on Georgia’s dress (pic) coming up in a post, later in the week.
It's a very nice dress, love the fabric.
What are the details of the pattern please?
Hi Anonoymous,
For a beginners class it would be a simple top similar to McCalls 5050 in a short or 3/4 sleeve version. If anyone wanted to try another simple top pattern in the class…I'm sure Georgia would be happy to teach how to make it provided the pattern isn't too complicated. If anyone has any pattern suggestions please feel free to email me and I can forward them to Georgia.
Please can you tell me the details of the pattern for Georgia's dress.
Hi, I'm interested in going to this class, but could you tell me how many spots are left?
