News This Week

Welcome to half term, this week there is the kids sewing workshop to cut and sew a sweatshirt. Hopefully I will have some photos to post on my socials by the end of the week. The Saturday sewing classes for adults and children this month have all sewn leggings using 4-way stretch fabric. Students learnt to change needles in their sewing machines, using jersey and twin needles. Excellent results from everyone, well done!

​​​

I have an exciting new class which will soon be live to book. This new class will be a stand-alone practical session to test competence of students to cut and sew projects independently. This is an opportunity to grow in confidence and get support or advice where needed. 

​

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 earmark a 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​​​

There are also classes for anyone wanting to learn to sew. Please click here for all beginners classes.

​

The adults 2-Day coat workshop was great and the finished results are Excellent! I am so proud of the professional sewing done by the students. Some finishing touches are yet to be added and I will then post photos on my socials. See more upcoming workshops under Sewing Classes in the top menu or click here.
