ADULT | PRIVATE SEWING SESSIONS
Please call or email us to arrange dates and times before booking your session
These sessions are tailored to your specific needs whether you are hoping to get to know your sewing machine or you want to make a full handmade outfit.
We can help source fabrics and patterns for your project and can accommodate up to 4 participants per session.
We recommend a minimum of 2 hours and maximum of 6 hours per private session. Please enter quantity as the number of agreed hours.
WHAT TO MAKE
Nothing is off limits, whatever garment, accessory or full outfit you’d like to make we can help you make by giving pattern suggestions or guiding you in how to draft your own pattern.
For beginners we recommend starting with simple accessories like bags, pouches, aprons as you can learn essential sewing skills without having to worry about fitting.
For confident beginners-intermediate sewists we recommend starting with patterns for simple tops, elasticated waistband trousers, wrap skirts, pyjamas or sweaters
For intermediate-advanced sewists test out your fitting skills with a zip back dress, a button up shirt, a pair of jeans or even a tailored suit
