Bring your own sewing machine, your own project, and we'll provide the expertise, tools, and creative company to get you sewing with confidence.
When you book, we'll ask a few quick intake questions so you can let us know exactly what you're working on. This means we can both come prepared — making sure your time in the studio is productive, focused, and tailored to your needs.
You'll get:
- Two expert instructors for personalised help in a small group setting
- Step-by-step support to troubleshoot tricky techniques and polish your skills
- Access to studio tools — cutting tables, irons, and specialist equipment
- A relaxed, friendly environment to work alongside fellow makers
We can help with:
- Garment construction techniques
- Pattern adjustments & fit issues
- Working with commercial patterns
- Finishing details like zips, buttonholes & bias binding
- Alterations & repairs
- Tips for professional results
Who is this for?
- Confident beginners to intermediate sewers
- Not suitable for absolute beginners — some sewing experience is needed
- Those who can operate their own sewing machine comfortably
- Bring your own sewing machine, your project, and any notions you'll need (e.g. matching thread)
Details:

🕔 Wednesdays, 6-9pm — starting 10 September
