Beginner’s Guide to Sewing: Hosted by Mitchell Vincent

8 hours of hands-on sewing across two days.

Spend eight guided hours learning to sew with designer Mitchell Vincent in his Studio & Showroom in Kirikiriroa, Hamilton. This beginner-friendly wānanga will take you from fabric and pattern basics to cutting and sewing a woven top from scratch, made to by your hands and designed by you.

You’ll build practical skills in fabric and textile knowledge, pattern construction, garment illustration, cutting and garment-making, and using a domestic sewing machine. Leave with new skills, a custom top pattern to use again, and a finished garment you can proudly say you made.

Your place includes

• Eight hours of guided, practical learning across two days
• Fabric, thread and other project materials
• A custom pattern drafted to your measurements
• Your finished, self-designed woven top
• Snacks, tea and coffee throughout the wānanga

Bring along

• Your own domestic sewing machine, in working order, so you can build confidence using your machine and continue practising at home
• A notebook or digital device for recording notes, measurements and techniques
