Improve your sewing knowledge with lessons from Sew With Galina!

Getting started: basic sewing and straight stitch.

Beginner level lessons start with the basics, which is exactly what you can expect from a Sew With Galina course for beginners (Level 1) or a workshop where you can pick from one of a number of beginner sewing projects. Learn the basics of sewing while in a supportive and social environment with other beginner sewers. Your starting skill level and existing sewing knowledge aren’t important – when you sew with Galina you’ll get all the support you need to learn the foundations of sewing and get an introduction to sewing starting with the basics.

Your beginner sewing experience can influence what you enjoy making, what you can make, and the way you make it. So it’s important to know that you can start slowly, explore what you enjoy creating, and use a range of beginner sewing patterns that make the whole process easier. Of course, once you’ve developed your basic sewing skills and basic sewing techniques it’s time for something a little more complicated. Simple projects like a cushion cover, tote bag, cotton hat, or cosmetic bag, allow you to further develop your skills while making something fun.

Next steps: your sewing machine and a simple skirt.

Beyond the basics, it’s important to understand your sewing machine and the wide variety of sewing projects you gain access to when you learn to use it. Likewise, learning other sewing techniques broadens the range of projects you can undertake on your own, confident that you will be able to produce high quality amazing clothing and other items. A Sew With Galina course for beginners (Level 2) is great for intermediate sewers and provides the same casual sewing environment focused on learning, support and creativity.
