Thank you to all who attend my regular classes and 1:1's, I really appreciate your support.
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 sewing classes and one-to-one's, plus pattern and skills classes.
See the top menu under Tutoring & Workshops for info or to book. The Friday Jeans workshop completed last week and the jeans are looking so professional! I can't wait to share some photos on my socials. The Saturday Jeans workshop rounds up in a couple of weeks.
For sewing inspiration or skills, check out my YouTube page, Instagram or FB.
The April Saturday sewing classes are making a peplum top with darts, using jersey fabric. Saturday classes are available for adults and children, though booking in advance is advised as classes sizes are small. If a class is full please join the waiting list or email me so I can add another class if needed. Classes have a max of 3 - 4 students, so spaces fill up quickly.
Every month the Saturday classes sews 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 age 8yr upwards.

My daughter has had a couple of sewing lessons with Caroline at Top Notch Sewing and has really enjoyed them.
Caroline explains everything carefully and makes the lessons very enjoyable.
I would highly recommend Caroline to any of my friends who are interested in learning to sew.
