Do you find yourself with an ever increasing pile of projects you have started but just got stuck on?  Do you find it hard to carve time or space out for yourself to regularly sit down with your machine and crack on with the things you would love to make?  
 
If any of this sounds like you, then the project evenings are perfect.  These are unstructured classes designed to be a time when you can make the use of the studio, get settled with your project and have me on hand for any queries or technical help as you work.  You can bring your own machine and will get a table to yourself to work away.  All the additional tools and equipment the studio has to offer will be available during the sessions, and I will have a selection of threads and basic haberdashery if you happen to have forgotten anything.  More specialist items (such as zips, fastenings etc) and a small range of basic fabrics and interfacing will be available to purchase in the sessions as well. 
 
The sessions will run from 6-8.30pm,  but you can join and leave the session when you like.  So even if one week you can only manage an hour – no problem.
 
Sessions will run in blocks of 6 weeks, to be booked in full.   Please note the price is for the full 6 week block.  These are available at the special introductory price of just £65 for 6 sessions.
 
Who is this for?
You should have at minimum a basic working knowledge of threading up and operating a sewing machine.  These are designed to be supported, self directed sessions, rather than full tutored workshops, and setting up the machine and basic operations from scratch won’t be covered.  If you are not sure if the sessions might be right for you, please feel free to get in touch directly at hackleydesignstudio@gmail.com with any questions. 
 
If you are just starting out and don’t know what to work on I will have a range of free beginner patterns and project ideas for you to work on, so don’t worry if you are not sure where to start. 
 
What is provided?
At least one table per participant, shared use of large cutting table
Use of all studio tools, use of a studio sewing machine if required
Basic haberdashery  - threads, replacement needle, small selection of fabrics (mainly smaller pieces and offcuts)  
Tea, coffee, cow and oat milk

A selection of beginner projects and patterns for use – so don’t worry if you aren’t sure yet what you want to make, I will have something to get you sewing. 
ME! I am on hand in the sessions to provide advice and help, including troubleshooting for your machine.  This can include advice on fabrics, pattern choices and techniques.
