Description

You will be taught techniques such as changing colour, crocheting over your ends and darning in.  By the end of this session you should be able to follow a basic pattern and be well on your way to making decorative items, garments and blankets.

This class is suitable for those who have already undertaken part 1 of our complete course (Crochet for beginners) or those of you who have mastered a chain, double and treble crochet and are able to hold the wool well enough to create a neat tension block

All materials are provided and you will also get access to our online training videos that are usually only available to our online pupils.  These can be accessed online indefinitely following your course as a reminder of what you have learnt.

If you simply cannot wait to get started then we also run this course as an online option.  You will receive a kit and access to our online videos and support group and can start as soon as your kit arrives in the post.  Alternatively, if you would rather dedicate time to your learning you can book to come into the studio with your ipad or laptop and undertake your course with Claire on hand should you get stuck (not that you will).  Just order your kit and drop a line in the description box requesting some time slots and we will give you a call.

    I could not wait to begin this course after completing the beginners crochet course. I’ve learnt so much completing these courses and the best thing about them is you can complete them in your own time. Claire is the best teacher she’s so patient. I would highly recommend Beautiful Things courses/classes to anyone, they are fantastic ?

    After completing the Beginner’s Crochet Course at Beautiful Things, I immediately went onto the Intermediate Crochet Course.
    It was well worth the investment! Such great tutoring and ‘takeaway’ tutorials has definitely increased my crocheting ability. You will learn a variety of stitches. I can now follow a pattern! I will definitely look to do more courses with Claire in the future. She is so friendly and welcoming. The small group setting for these lessons is perfect and it was really nice to take some ‘me’ time out of my busy, stressful life to drink tea in a cheerfully inspiring setting and learn a new craft while I did so.
    These courses have definitely rejuvenated my desire to craft again and have reminded me how relaxing it is.

I used to hesitate to create online courses for ch I used to hesitate to create online courses for children as I thought it would have to involve the parents too much, the kids might loose interest or not see the relevance of sewing as a skill in our modern age. 

That was until I asked some children and their parents to test out the idea … and I was amazed by the results, the enthusiasm, the excitement with which the children completed the course and were hungry for more, to move on to the BTHQ adult courses! 

One thing I hadn’t thought of is how eco conscious our kids are these days … the appeal of throw away fashion vs creating something from nothing or reusing fabric from other sources really appeals to a lot of children who want a different, better future for our planet … learning to sew … to reuse, repurpose, recycle fashion and fabrics is a great way to encourage and support your child and generations to come in helping forge a sustainable future for the planet they will inherit. 

I am so proud of the new Kids sewing 101 course.  Those who have already completed it have done amazing things and it’s not just their sewing that has improved … it’s their self confidence, their sense of who they are and what they can achieve and their imagination about the next thing they want to make! 

If you want to find out more then head to our website (link in the bio) and search kids 101.  It's instant access and suitable for total beginners.

When you find the time. Prep!! Got a fabric you l When you find the time. Prep!!

Got a fabric you love and know what it's destined to be turned into?

Cut it out ASAP. 

You're more likely to actually sew it together if the boring bits done already.

Find a spot more time......mark your darts and do any interfacing.

I have a whole basket of cut projects ready to go. That way when I have some sewing time I can take my pick and its all good to go.

Zip up your project in a wallet with any zips, threads and buttons all together with the pattern and instructions.

You can thank me later

If you read the instuctions for the @closetcorepat If you read the instuctions for the @closetcorepatterns pouff it specifically tells you to wear your pouff on your head before stuffing.

What kind of teacher would I be if I didnt get my pupils to follow the instructions?
Such a lovely day today at BTHQ making the @closet Such a lovely day today at BTHQ making the @closetcorepatterns scrap busting pouff.
Such a lovely evening spent with some of my Platin Such a lovely evening spent with some of my Platinum sewing club VIPs.

It's been about 18 months since I last taught a ZOOM class, what was something I was doing 6 days a week soon fell by the wayside when the studio re-opened.

But now that things are calming down I took the opportunity to enjoy a glass or 2 of 'el plonko vino' and show this lovely lot how to make fabric (paper) gift bags.

If you'd like to join me on a ZOOM sewing class then work your way up through the ranks of my sewing club to the Platinum VIP level and you could be joining them.
