You’re free to cancel whenever you need; we only require one month’s notice, and you can continue attending classes throughout that notice period.
What to bring: We supply the sewing machines and basic practice materials. For your main garment, simply bring or purchase your preferred fabrics, matching thread, and required haberdashery. Not sure what you need? Whether you are working on your own project or want to use one of our patterns, our tutors will guide you on exactly what to buy, from elastics to fabrics, threads, and everything else involved in bringing your vision to life. You can discuss this in the first class or give us a call previous to your class.
The only requirement for this course is know the very basics of sewing or having engaged in the introduction to the sewing machine first.
Hands-On Learning: Get comfortable with threading, stitching, and basic maintenance through practical exercises.

Brilliant evening. Well worth the drive up. This class was extremely personable, and Ciara’s knowledge and patience to answer each and every question outside the scope of work was amazing. Really enjoyed it, and will be back.

I’m finally getting around to writing a review now because I’ve been so busy practicing on what was a very very dusty sewing machine that I never used until last Saturday.
All thanks to the wonderfully patient Ciara.she imparted her great knowledge and experience in a gentle and easy to understand way.
Thanks again for the best two hours I’ve had in a long time.
