Have you always wanted to be able to wield a sewing machine, or perhaps just keen to redecorate your bedroom or lounge with a collection of self-made scatter cushions? Our Scatter (cushion) & Chatter sewing course starts at the beginning, no sewing experience required. In this four hour course located in our Moorabbin Upholstery Workshop, your seamstress will take you through the ins & outs of a sewing machine and then on to creating your very own scatter cushions to take home. You’ll learn how to cut to a pattern with seam allowance, sew different types of zip positioning, sew knife & piped cushion edges & learn about different types of fabrics & cushion inserts. This course is the perfect introduction to sewing in a social and relaxed atmosphere.

About your Seamstress
Your sewing teacher, and founder of Soul Stitches, Jennifer, will guide you through the process of creating your own scatter cushion from scratch. Jennifer has been honing her craft over many a year. She is a passionate educator, coming from a Bachelor of Arts in Fashion & having worked in various design rooms over her career, Jennifer has been passing on her skills to students for over a decade. Trust me, you’re in safe hands!
Choosing a Fabric
You will create two or more cushions in this course, so it is best to cater for 2 meters of fabric. You will need to bring your own fabric for the course. If you require guidance, Jen (the other one) will be more than happy to help guide you through the foray of fabric selection. You will need to source your fabric before the commencement of your course. Please ensure you avoid leather, vinyl, velvet or piled fabrics for the course due to the additional complexities that will face a beginner.
