Happy Sewing ...x  Caroline

Sewing classes for small groups
or 1-2-1  for all ages & skill levels - See news below or classes in the top menu

-based in Orpington, Bromley, SE London

Booked a 121 session with Caroline for my Daughter who had never used a sewing machine before. We left the session confident in using the machine, threading it, different types of stitching and what to look out for when things don’t go as planned.

We will definitely be booking a follow up session when she’s ready to take on some bigger projects.​
