There are many group or 1:1 sewing classes at Top Notch but if you would like to learn to sew, the Sewing Machine Drivers License is the place to start! This class can be done in a small group or a 1:1 session. You will learn the basics of using a sewing machine including winding a bobbin and threading the machine. Please see the separate booking pages for the group class, the adults 1:1 and the kids 1:1 class. The group class is for all-ages, with a maximum of 4 students. 

Any children's sewing classes are suitable from 8yrs upwards and

kids get a discount off any 1:1 classes listed on my website.

​

The last Sewing Skills class was about sewing jersey fabrics! 

The next skills class where you can learn about pattern matching  and sewing fabric with a nap, is on 17 May. Beginners are welcome.

The Sewing Skills class is held once a month and students

practice various skills and take their samples home.

Fabric is included and samples are cut out, ready to sew.

​

There are separate Saturday Sewing clubs every month for adults, primary aged children, and teens, with a morning or afternoon class available. Students sew something to take home and learn different skills each month! In April they made t-shirts and in May we are sewing a waterproof lunchbox! Each student gets a  sewing pattern, and fabric is included for the class. Projects are usually cut and ready for students to sew. Click the following link for the schedule or to book: adults class AM or PM  ;

primary age class AM or PM ; or teens class AM or PM. 

​

If you enjoy sewing and chatting with like-minded people, there is a free Sewing Social once a month on Friday mornings. Anyone is welcome but space is limited, so please pre-book your place. Bring along your sewing projects for advice, chat and free use of a sewing machine. Tea and coffee is included and you can leave a donation if you wish. The recent contributions went to the Bromley Down Syndrome Support Group (Bromley DSSG), Thank You!!

​

For creative kids there is an online Fashion club which is a weekly drawing and design class for children in school years 4 to 11. This term we are learning about couture and tailoring where students will explore each discipline, as well as fashion illustration and hand sewing techniques. For a free taster session click here, or click to book a class on Tuesdays or Thursdays. If you sign up for a full term you get one class free, or you can pay-as-you-go each week. Every student gets a pack with information and templates, 

plus a certificate at the end of the term!
