A course of 3 classes from 10.30 to 13.00 starts this Thursday 8th March at Le Grá Craft Studio and Gallery for €60. To book phone 087 6193870.

Berni McCabe's sewing skills class is very popular here at Le Grá Craft Studio and Gallery. If you would like to spend some time getting to know how to thread the machine properly, fill a bobbin, adjust the stitch tension and get to know what all the buttons and attachments are for then this is the class for you.

Practical projects take you through all the basics of sewing in a straight line, starting and finishing, different seam finishes, putting in a zip and lots more.

2nd week of sewing skills with Berni McCabe

Berni returned to Le Grá Craft Studio and Gallery tonight to help everyone acquire some additional sewing skills. French seams, bound seams, bias binding.....phew that's a lot of extra skills acquired in one evening of enjoyable sewing. It may look like just a wee bag, but you should see the finish these ladies achieved after only 2 classes! These machines may have been lurking in cupboards unused for a while.....but they're being put through their paces now!
