Try sewing before buying your own equipment
If you’re curious about sewing but not quite ready to invest in your own machine, my sewing lessons are a great way to try it first. I supply everything you need including a sewing machine, tools, and materials, so there’s no need to buy anything upfront. It’s a low-pressure, practical way to see if sewing is something you enjoy before committing to any equipment.
What I’ll cover at each class
Whether you’re new to sewing or simply looking to brush up, my beginner workshops provide a strong foundation in the essentials of sewing.
In these interactive sessions, I’ll guide you through:
- Understanding your sewing machine
- Essential techniques for stitching different fabrics
- Tools and tips for building your sewing kit
- Fundamentals of altering and mending clothes
During the workshop, we’ll complete a simple project, such as a cushion cover, drawstring bag, or reversable shopping bag. These projects are carefully designed to introduce various beginner-friendly sewing techniques.
Why sewing is an important skill.
In today’s world of fast fashion and environmental concerns, sewing is more than just a creative hobby—it’s a valuable life skill that can benefit you and the planet.
Save money and reduce waste
- Repair clothes instead of discarding them, keeping garments in use longer.
- Upcycle old clothes to give them new life and keep them out of landfills.
- Create custom-made pieces that fit your style, saving on costly tailored items.
Make a positive environmental impact
The fashion industry is a leading contributor to pollution. Learning to sew and upcycle helps you:
- Keep clothing in circulation through repairs and creative transformations.
- Lower your carbon footprint by creating your own garments.
Express your unique style
- Tailor clothing to your size and preferences for a truly personalised wardrobe.
- Experiment with fabrics and patterns to design one-of-a-kind pieces.
Get creative and resourceful
- Upcycling encourages out-of-the-box thinking as you transform old items into something fresh.
- Sewing lets you explore endless possibilities in design, with no rules to hold you back.
Support ethical fashion
By creating your own clothes or upcycling secondhand garments, you avoid the exploitative practices often associated with fast fashion. You’ll know exactly how and where your items were made.
Reduce textile waste by mending and upcycling clothes
Millions of tons of textile waste are generated each year. Repairing and upcycling clothes helps reduce this waste, keeping items out of landfills and extending their lifecycle.
