News This Week

Look out for the latest Top Notch newsletter this week with updates of what's been happening and what's coming up.

There is an exciting new sewing course for children during school holidays. This is a sewing competence course where students will cut and sew projects independently. It is an opportunity to grow in confidence and get support or advice where needed. Pattern and fabrics are included or bring your own.

See Tutoring & Workshops in the top menu or click here for info or to book.

 

The Saturday sewing classes March are sewing bags and practicing buttonholes!​​​ 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 maximum 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​​​

​​​

If you or your child would like to learn to sew, the next Sewing Machine Driver's Licence group class with availability for adults is 21 March and for children is 30 May. Children can learn to sew from age 8yr upwards. Use of a sewing machine is included in the class, or bring your own if you prefer. Click here to book. 

This class can also be done as a one-to-one lesson at time to suit you and there are also other classes for anyone wanting to learn to sew, so please click here for all beginners classes.

Top Notch Sewing Centre holds small group sewing classes and one to one's, plus pattern and skills classes. Group class sizes are small, so booking in advance is advised.

My daughter had a sewing machine licence lesson and it was excellent. Caroline was professional, kind and patient. Nothing was too much trouble and my daughter really enjoyed herself. She now feels more confident in using the machine at home. Thank you very much Caroline & hope to see you soon for some more tuition, take care x
