News This Week

Over the past week the kids sweatshirt sewing workshop went very well, and each student wore self-made clothing to the lesson too! Proud teacher moment for sure!!

It was also day-2 of the coat workshop and all coats are looking fabulous! I will post photos on my socials asap. See upcoming workshops under Sewing Classes in the top menu or click here.

The Saturday sewing classes for adults and children this month have all sewn leggings using 4-way stretch fabric. In the March Saturday classes we are sewing bags and practicing buttonholes!​​​

​

Thank you to everyone who attends Saturday sewing classes. 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. Saturday sewing classes are a great way to make regular time to sew. 

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

​

I have an exciting new class which is live to book. This new class is a sewing competence assessment where students will cut and sew projects independently. This is an opportunity to grow in confidence and get support or advice where needed. Pattern and fabrics included or bring your own. See Tutoring & Workshops in the top men u or click here.
