Sewing

In the past few years I have given beginner sewing classes, as well as upcycling workshops. These classes/workshops are based in Galway.

All upcoming workshops and classes will be posted on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/upsew) or instagram  (upsew.ie).

WORKSHOPS

Workshops are 2 hours (or more) and themed to simple sews and upcycling.

‘Sewing Fundamentals’ (basic sewing)  – The focus of these classes is to learn  basic sewing techniques by making sewing samples of each technique, and after the 4 classes, attendees should have the basic foundations and know how to sewing a simple bodice and skirt!
