Evening Sewing Workshops for Adults

Have you always wanted to learn to sew but never got around to it?
Maybe you’ve inherited your grandma’s sewing machine, and it’s been gathering dust?

Our evening sewing workshops are perfect for adults of all ages and abilities who want to learn in a relaxed, inclusive, and fun environment.

In this relaxed introduction to sewing, you’ll:

• Learn to confidently thread and use a sewing machine (plus plenty of handy tips!)

• Hem trousers neatly (warning: your family may start asking you to hem theirs—keep it between us!)

• Watch a demonstration of the most common mending techniques

You’ll leave with new skills, a handmade accessory, and the confidence to tackle your own sewing projects.

Note: These workshops are a one-off for 2025.
If they prove popular, I’ll add them to our regular schedule next year, and may even introduce a garment-making class.
Your feedback is always welcome!

Can’t wait to sew with you!
