Sewing machine advice/lessons

Recommended Posts

Hi,


Does anybody know of any sewing machine introductory lessons for kids that are being run in the area?


My year 4 daughter is pretty good at crafts, and her grandparents bought her a good entry-level Janome sewing machine for Christmas.


However, despite hours of attempts, I can't even thread the thing, so I can't even get her set up to experiment. Clearly, she needs outside guidance.


Thanks.

Worth trying Really Maria on Lordship Lane or StagandBow in Forest Hill. Not sure if they have exactly what you need but Stagsndbow often have kids workshops. The Old School Club in Battersea has kids sessions but a bit further afield.

Don't know where the machine was bought, but some places will give free tuition after purchase.


The sewing machine shop in Deptford does. John Lewis used to, don't know whether they still do.


Alternatively, try googling the model, there are bound to be YouTube tutorials!

    • If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?
    • I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing. 
    • interesting read.  We're thinking about the same things for our kids in primary school as well. One thing I don't understand about Charter ED is whether they stream / set kids based on ability.  I got the impression from an open evening that it is done a little as possible. All i could find on-line was this undated letter - https://www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk/_site/data/files/users/18/documents/9473A8A3547CCCD39DBC4A55CA1678DC.pdf?pid=167 For the most part, we believe in mixed ability teaching and do not stream in Year 7 or Year 8. The only exceptions to this are that we have a small nurture class for Maths. This is a provision for students who scored lower than 85 in their SATS exams and is designed to support them to acquire the skills to access the learning in mainstream class. We do not have nurture classes for any other subjects. We take a more streamed - though not a setted - approach in Maths and Science from Year 9 onwards. though unsure if this is still accurate reflection of policy, and unsure of difference between streaming and setting.
    • Hello, I'm looking for an entertainer for my 9 year old son's birthday party. Looking for someone who can organise some games for the kids as my son and his friends are quite active. Regards, Sue
