Are you excited to be back into sewing but need a bit of guidance?

Join us for this two day sewing course which will let you choose your project, whether its some cushion sewing, bag making or dressmaking, we will be there to guide you, teach you and get you confidently sewing the weekend away.

This weekend course would be the perfect opportunity for you and a friend or friends to get toegther for some social sewing with a teacher on hand in a great safe space.

The lesson is a free-style lesson with everyone making something different, and what you will learn will depend on the project/pattern you have chosen.

What you will need:

Sewing machine (we have limited sewing machines so if you need to borrow one please advise at booking stage)

Sewing kit

Your chosen project/pattern and all that is needed for this. Please discuss this with us when booking this course. We like to be prepared so an idea of what pattern you are doing before the first workshop would be great.

Testimonials -

MichelleThank you for the amazing sewing weekend! I finally made the blouse for my mum that I've been promising for years. The weekend was great fun, taught me a lot, including not to be intimidated by instructions, and gave me confidence! It has rekindled my love of sewing and getting back into it has really helped me take time to relax! Vanessa, who led the weekend, was amazing and such a great teacher! The space was well set up, lots of space, covid safe and warm and welcoming. Everyone was so friendly too! I've already signed up for the pattern adjustment course and will be eyeing up many more courses too! — feeling fantastic.August 2021MarionI enjoyed the sewing weekend and very pleased with my dress.
