① Learn how to handle a sewing machine and sewing tips
Let's start by actually sewing using a trial sewing cloth. I will introduce the basics, such as postures when sewing and how to put hands on them.
And above all, the most important thing in making bags and cloth is preparation. Let's proceed with an emphasis on the need for watering, soil improvement, and finishing basic cuts cleanly.

It is a large volume of content that satisfies both beginners and experienced users.

Creator Interviews
Q. What do you think is the most attractive thing about sewing machines that your teacher feels?
A. They are wonderful companions who give shape to what I have imagined. The time of making things by hand can make you forget about everyday life, get excited while imagining completion, or solve it if you fail, but it is an existence that makes you crazy at any time.
Q. Please tell me what led you to start sewing machines!
A. I've loved touching sewing machines since I was young, but I really started when my daughter entered kindergarten and had time for myself. Thanks to the fact that I was able to come across a handicraft book that came to me at the library I attended, I now have it.
Q. What kind of experiences do you want the students to have through this class?
A. I think it would be nice if you could make sewing time a new hobby. Hobbies can be started at any age, and by incorporating new stimuli into yourself, your horizons will expand and your personal connections will expand strangely. It's also fun to take pictures of things you've made yourself and introduce them on SNS
It will increase, and by showing it to people, you will improve even more, and it will also lead to mental satisfaction.
Q. Please give a message to the students!
A. Everyone has the same starting line. No one can sew well from the beginning. But if you learn a few tricks on sewing machines, you'll improve in no time. If you make what you've made while imagining where you, your family, and friends are using it, handmade will turn into a more enjoyable time. Rather than thinking too hard, let's start by taking a step forward while having fun together.
FAQs
Q. Can beginners who are just starting out with sewing machines make it?
A. When you're just starting out with sewing machines, it's often difficult to ask questions you don't understand even if you go to the classroom, or you're overwhelmed by the environment around you and can't proceed as expected. In that respect, you can proceed with online classes at your own timing, and you can watch over and over again what you don't understand and practice repeatedly, so I recommend that you are a beginner can proceed without preconceived notions. Also, it's an opportunity to start something new, so I'd be happy if you could take on the challenge of improving your own skills.
Q. Do I have to buy a kit?
A. Purchasing a kit is a major prerequisite in order to ensure that the kit that arrives is finished in shape. However, I think you already have a kit with a complete set of handicraft tools on hand, so I have prepared 2 ways with minimal kit contents. However, please note that the course proceeds on the assumption that there are the same handicraft tools or equivalent items.
Q. I want them to sell some of their handicraft tools.
A. We're very sorry, but we are unable to respond individually.
Q. I would like some of the kit contents to be changed or increased.
A. The kit is prepared according to the course, but even if there is a fabric that does not suit your taste, it is not possible to change it to another fabric. The sizes are listed individually, so please refer to them and prepare them separately by yourself.
Q. Do I need anything other than the kit?
A. I wanted to add as many tools as possible to the kit, but by all means, there are “sewing machine needles,” “tailoring clasps,” and “zipper fasteners” that you can prepare according to your sewing machine. There are many cases where sewing machine pressers and needles are included in advance in sewing machine parts, so please check by yourself and prepare them if you don't have one. Please prepare other “sewing needles” and “hand sewing needles” that you are familiar with. Handicraft tools are also available at 100 yen shops, etc., so I think it's OK if you use them.
Q. Do you include paper recipes?
A. I'm sorry, but since everything is explained in the audio of the video course, paper recipes are not included.
