SEW CLUB – MONTHLY CLASSES
£75 for 3 months
Due to its popularity Sew Club has become rather exclusive!
Even though I have four separate groups, it’s not often that a place becomes available. Some of my original students still come once a month to Sew Club!
Because I would like to offer as many of my beginner students as I can, the opportunity of continuing classes with me it is now only possible to join Sew Club if you have done a Basic Course. Those of you who didn’t learn to sew with me please scroll down to SEW CLUB EXTRA.
Each Sew Club group runs once a month, generally on a Friday morning from 10am till about 1pm. I also have one group on a Tuesday morning.
There are two levels in Sew Club…
Level 1 is for those who have just completed the Basic Course. You can go on to make simple items designed to improve techniques and confidence. We work all together, step by step, and the fabric is provided all ready cut out so all you have to worry about is the sewing. There is no dressmaking at this level. Items we make include… cushion covers, bunting, bags, apron, appliqued book cover, fabric box, and hanging decorations. There is a small extra charge for the fabrics provided.
Level 2 is for those who are ready for more of a challenge as you work on your own projects from scratch, with lots of guidance and advice from me. You do need to be at a level to manage without my help for short periods of time as everyone works on different projects. Dressmaking is a popular choice at this level.
SEW CLUB EXTRA – ONE OFF SESSIONS
£30.00
Please have a look at the BOOKINGS page for dates.
I started SEW CLUB EXTRA a while back for those who would like to join Sew Club but aren’t able to for various reasons… mainly because there’s generally no available places! Although my current students are welcome to attend these classes, those who don’t have a regular Sew Club place would have priority in booking.
To attend this class you need to have good knowledge and confidence when using a sewing a machine. You should be able to follow basic instructions and work independently.
SEW CLUB EXTRA is an relaxed class and you can bring whatever you want to work on. You may 
want to bring an alteration, a garment or project you’re making that you need some help with, or you could practise some techniques you’re not sure about. Please don’t bring a pattern to cut out unless you’ve been to a SEW PATTERNS session before and feel happy you can manage with a little bit of help. There are six in the class so my time is shared and space is limited.
You may also be interested to know that for an extra £5 you could make the monthly group project, which would be cut out and ready to sew. I would need to know in advance if you want this option.
SEW patterns – Morning sessions
£50.00
Please have a look at the BOOKINGS page for dates.
It will take place on a Thursday morning from 10am till 1pm. Due to space, this class can have a maximum of three students… hence the cost.
On a SEW PATTERNS session, you will learn how to cut out a simple pattern. I will explain how to work out your size, calculate fabric amount and type, and make simple alterations to the pattern. With my help you will cut out your paper pattern, pin it onto some ‘practise’ fabric and cut out the fabric pieces.
