Autumn is moving in and that may mean more time indoors for sewing!

Please check out the 1:1 classes or regular classes for sewing inspiration. 

One to one classes are available by appointment at a time to suit you, and for group classes there is a maximum of 4 students per class, listed under "Sewing Classes" above.

​

In the Saturday sewing classes for October, the students are sewing a sleeveless pullover!

There are a few spaces available for the adults class AM or PM ;

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

Students will learn to sew jersey fabrics and attach rib to necklines and armholes. 

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; it is not a course, but stand-alone classes.

To book or see the schedule, click on the class title under "regular sewing classes". 

​

On Friday there is a Free sewing social and though this one is fully booked, you may like to sign up for a future social. 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 can leave a voluntary donation which is given to charity.
