Sewing Lessons (New to January 2025)

I have decided to start offering sewing classes as i feel there is a massive gap in the market for classes based around learning how to do your own alterations.

These classes will focus specifically on alterations and before the course I will ask all 3 students the main areas they would like learn in the four sessions they will be attending. This way I can tailor the workshop so that students get the most out of the time in which they spend in the studio. Alterations can be anything from hem shortening to fitting invisible zips. Just remember that each alteration will take up a different amount of time. For instance to learn and insert an invisible zip would run over more than one 1.5 hour session, whereas a hem shortening would take one 1.5 hour session.

In addition, not all 3 people in one group of classes need to focus on a certain alteration. Everyone can focus on their own chosen alteration that they would like to learn. Each person on the course will get there own 1 on 1 time per week to go through what needs to be done at each step of learning and understanding how to do their own alteration.

I would advise everyone that attends the course to work on old clothes or clothes from a charity shop to work on as you are just starting out, bringing you best items of clothing wouldn’t be ideal as you will be the ones doing the alterations not myself.

These classes will be held in groups or 3’s.

The classes will run for 4 consecutive weeks.

There will be 2 options to begin with for times of classes. They will be held on a Friday. One session from 9.30am- till 11am the other session running from 12.30pm until 2pm.

Class prices will be £140 for the full 4 sessions of 1.5 hours. Once you have chosen to attend the morning or afternoon session these times cannot be changed throughout your course as these are separate course to book.

Payment will have to be made in full before the chosen course begins.
