Sewing Classes in
Bury St Edmunds
What do I need to bring to class?
You will need a box or basket with the items below:
You can gradually build up your sewing kit but these are the bits and bobs you will definately need to bring with you.
-
Small scissors or "snips".
-
A pair of good large dressmaking scissors. These are a good investment but need to be kept entirely separate, and used for fabric only.
-
Thread - various colours. You can build up a selection, but black and white to start with are always a good bet. Try to buy good quality thread.

Pins (glass headed ones are best in case you iron over them).

A tape measure.

Tailors chalk or dressmaking water soluble pen.
-
Hand sewing needles in various sizes.

You will need your machine in good working order and I recommend you get it serviced. If you are concerned about it. I do have some machines available to hire but you will need to check availabilty.
