Next available course: Jan/Feb 2026
Our Learn to Sew 101 Course is a 6-week beginner-friendly course perfect for anyone ready to start their sewing journey. Each week you’ll enjoy 2.5 hours of hands-on sewing, learning essential skills and techniques while making practical, stylish projects you’ll love to take home. Machines, equipment and fabric is provided but you’re more than welcome to bring your own machine if you’d like to get to know it better. We keep the atmosphere relaxed and enjoyable with tea, coffee and cold drinks, plus a notebook and pen so you can jot down tips, tricks, and inspiration as you go. By the end of the course, you’ll feel confident using a sewing machine, threading it with ease, sewing seams, finishing edges, and building your skills step by step through achieveable projects. As a final milestone, you’ll sew your very own classic tee - the perfect way to put everything you’ve learned into practice. Best of all, you’ll walk away with a set of projects you’ve made yourself, a solid foundation of skills and the confidence to keep building on them.
