My sister got a sewing machine the other year for Christmas and recently we have been trying to learn the basics. So as a belated birthday present my mum organised a sewing class for my sister which we all got to participate in. We all made something different, my sister made cushions, my mum made a bag and a half. While I made napkins from the my Paris theme fabric. Yes they were simple and I ended up doing lots of pressing (which you partly need asbestos hands for). I then used the off cuts to make napkin rings (I only managed two after doing my napkins) with button holes.
We are now looking into getting a new sewing machine, so once we have purchased one, I can finish my other napkins and make a few more napkins as well.
The class we took was at Spinney Brook Workbox. The day was so relaxing and home made lunch and cake at the end of the day. I definitely wouldn't mind going back with a Christmas theme so that I could make the Christmas tree skirt I bought fabric for.
