First Sewing lesson day

Our first lesson at Aubrey Park, Redbourne St Albans. A Quick shot with my iPad as I was concentrating so much on delivering value to the ladies. At the end of this day, the ladies produced a simple garment. They learnt how to work their machines, cut a neckline, cut a butterfly top, sew straight lines, sew around curves. Fix a bias tape around a neckline. Hand hem a neck line. It was a value packed day!
