 Every month students sew something to take home, with a sewing pattern and fabric included for the class. Projects are usually cut and ready to sew, so just book into whichever class suits you. Projects are tailored for boys and girls. To book or see the schedule, click on the class title under "regular sewing classes". 

​

A monthly Sewing Skills class is held on Fridays, the  next class being 18 October, with a

morning and afternoon session available (covering the same topic). This month we are exploring sleeves and armholes! See the schedule here or under "Sewing Classes" in the top menu.

Each Skills class focuses on different sewing techniques and students practice the skills

then take samples home to reference for future projects.

The class is suitable for confident beginners upwards and fabric is included.​

​

Once a month on a Friday there is a Free sewing social so if you enjoy sewing and chatting with like-minded people or if you need sewing advice, please come along. Anyone is welcome but space is limited, so please pre-book your place here. The social includes use of a sewing machine plus tea and coffee, and you may give a voluntary donation which is given to various charities.
