News This Week

The Saturday classes in April made Peplum tops and this month we are sewing wash bags with zips!

A new Saturday class schedule will be added to my website soon and there is still availability in some Saturday classes over the next few months. Availability for 1:1 classes is currently weekdays in June.​

​​

Top Notch Sewing Centre holds small group classes and one-to-one's, plus pattern and skills classes and workshops. See the top menu for info or to book. The latest workshop for sewing jeans finished this weekend and the jeans are looking fabulous! 

​​

Saturday group classes are available for adults and children, though booking in advance is advised as classes have a maximum of  3 - 4 students, so spaces fill up quickly. ​If a class is full please join the waiting list or email me so I can add another class if needed.

Every month the Saturday classes sew a new project and learn new sewing skills! Fabric is included plus a pattern to take home. The class projects and dates are listed in the "regular sewing classes" page in the menu above or click here for more info.​​​

​​​

If you would like to learn to sew, the next Sewing Machine Driver's Licence group class with availability for children is 30 May and for adults is 25 July. Children can learn to sew from 8 years old upwards. 

The sewing licence class can also be done as a one-to-one lesson at time to suit you and there are also other classes available for anyone wanting to learn to sew, so click here for all beginners classes. Use of a sewing machine is included in all classes, or bring your own if you prefer. Click here to book. ​

​

If you have an unfinished project from a class done at Top Notch but you prefer to finish it with guidance, please book a 2 hour tutoring session but use the discount code "Finish".​

For sewing inspiration or skills, check out my YouTube page, Instagram or FB.

​

There is a Top Notch shop where you can buy items in person when you attend a class, or email me for a time to visit. Items included notchers, tracing wheels, sewing needles, point turners and ironing rulers!​
