Learn to use a sewing machine from scratch
Do you want to learn to sew and have no idea where to start? This workshop is made for exactly that: three hours to understand how a machine works, how it is set up and what you need, sewing from the very first moment. No experience required: you can come without ever having touched a machine in your life.
We start with the most important thing: your machine
You will see the parts of a modern machine and the functions you really need at the beginning: how to set it up, thread it and put the bobbin in without the buttons, wheels and threads feeling like a whole world. The idea is that next time you sit down at one — here or at home — you know where to start.
Needles, threads and all those things nobody explains at the beginning
Why are there so many needles? Which thread do I use? Why does it keep breaking? What do I change depending on the fabric? We will talk about needles, threads and basic materials so that you understand the basics and can apply them in your own projects, without memorising theory.
And now, let’s sew
With the machine ready, it is time to practise: your first seams, controlling the speed, guiding the fabric, sewing straight and trying different stitches. You will have time to repeat, and we will be close by to correct things with you and give you those tips that make handling the machine feel more natural every time.
Your first project
Because you learn by sewing something real. We will make a beginner’s project — depending on the date, a corner bookmark, a key holder, a cushion or another simple piece — to put into practice what you have learnt. And yes, it goes home with you.
An afternoon to learn without rushing
There will be a maximum of 5 of us, so that we can keep an eye on you. Everyone learns at their own pace: there is room here to ask, to repeat and to understand what you are doing.
It is a workshop of up to 3 hours, starting at 5:30 pm, in central Madrid. We send you the exact address by email along with your booking confirmation.
What do you need to bring?
Nothing. We provide the machines and all the materials, and everything will be ready when you arrive. You just come with the desire to learn and to give sewing a go.

- You have a machine at home but still do not quite know what to do with it.
