This course is designed for complete beginners who want to learn to sew in a calm, supportive space. Over five weeks, you’ll build confidence at the sewing machine, learn how fabric and patterns work, and sew two projects to take home — a tote bag and your own elastic waist trousers (with pockets).
We focus on strong foundations, taking things step by step so you feel comfortable and capable as you go. By the end of the course, you’ll understand your machine, feel confident following a pattern, and have the skills to continue sewing independently.
Small groups, clear guidance, and plenty of time to ask questions — just a steady, encouraging introduction to making your own clothes.
A focused, two-day introduction to sewing designed for complete beginners. Over one weekend, you’ll learn how to confidently use your sewing machine, understand fabric and patterns, and sew your own finished garment to take home.
The weekend intensive is practical and hands-on, with clear, step-by-step guidance throughout. It’s ideal if you’d like to learn quickly in a focused setting while still feeling supported every step of the way.
Small groups, strong foundations, and the confidence to continue sewing long after the weekend ends.
