    Smile Help find sewing class with English speaker.

    I'm looking for a professional sewing class with machine , could be short or long term class. Or else, It could be fashion studies class or pattern making as well. Anything with english speaker. I checked some place like YMCA (its closed), Polytech (50/50 in canto), YWCA (They are more like quilting and knitting). Could anyone have any ideas where else that will provide the exact course i'm looking for?

    Thank you for your time.

    Sewing

    Hi PDB,

    I am also looking but can't find anything now even in YMCA & YWCA.

    I just started to sew by self study. I suggest you go to this sites for basic tutorial:

    Sewing Room

    There are also projects that you can try in this site with free patterns for some clothes:

    Home | burdastyle.com
    Welcome to Modern Sewing Patterns

    You can buy sewing essentials in SPOTLIGHT in MegaBox in Kowloon Bay. You can get there via Kowloon Bay MTR, there are free shuttle bus to MegaBox. SPOTLIGHT is in level 5.

    SpotLight is also selling patterns from Vogue, Simplicity, McCalls, Burda, etc. But I always buy New Look because it is cheaper and so many variations per pattern set. I suggest you get the VIP card (free) first before purchasing because there are discounts.

    I saw last July 1st that they are selling the Singer Featherlight sewing machine at HK$1,300+ and it is compact and looks nice.

    I am looking for sewing clubs in HK but in vain. I've just started to sew since May only on weekends because I am working.

    I hope I am of help to you.

    Regards,
    Asian Treasure

    I can't find also. I suggest you self study first like the way I do.
    Probably you can browse in the internet for projects. Along the way you can acquire the basics.

    For tutorials:
    Leena's.com: PatternMaker Tutorial Web Site

    For free projects:
    Home | burdastyle.com
    Welcome to Modern Sewing Patterns

    Complete sewing materials are available in SPOTLIGHT in Megabox (Kowloon Bay, in Kowloon Bay MTR station there are free shuttle bus to Megabox). Sewing machines,materials,fabric,
    and even patterns (Vogue, McCalls, Simplicity, etc). I suggest you get free VIP card so you can get discount on some items.

    Happy Sewing...
