Common myths about sewing include: Sewing is too hard to learn and takes up too much time.

Sewing is hard … if you’re talking about sewing a complicated piece of clothing like a star-studded biker jacket, that too at your first try. Start with simple items like pouches and pencil cases, and you will realise that sewing can actually be easy.

Now you might be thinking, “But sewing takes too much time to learn and I don’t have that time to spare!”

If you’re a beginner at sewing, it will no doubt take quite a while for you to get used to the techniques and tricks that are involved. But we assure you that in no more than 5 hours, you can leave with your completed sewing creation.

Sounds impossible? Well, be prepared to get your myths debunked with our sewing workshops listed below!
