MADE FOR HOME: The cushion edit

A Beginner’s Sewing Workshop | 3 Hours

Ever wanted to make your own cushions but weren’t quite sure where to start? Here’s your chance to get behind the sewing machine and give it a go.

In this hands-on, three-hour workshop, you’ll learn the fundamentals of machine sewing while creating three gorgeous 45cm cushion covers to take home.

We’ll start with the basics, getting to know your sewing machine, how to set it up, thread it, wind and insert the bobbin, use the presser foot and get comfortable with those all-important stitches.

Then it’s time to put your new skills to work!

You’ll make three cushion covers, each featuring a different closure technique:

• The Envelope Close: A simple, practical overlapping back.
• The Snap Fastener Close: A neat finish using snap closures.
• The Zippered Close: Learn how to insert a zip for a more polished finish.

We’ll supply everything you need, including an assortment of plain-coloured fabrics for you to choose from and three cushion inserts for your finished creations.

No sewing experience? No problem. We’ll guide you through each step, so you’ll leave with three handmade homewares, a better understanding of your sewing machine and the confidence to keep creating long after the workshop ends.
