info
This class is not available for purchase
What you'll get
- Personalised, one-on-one tuition — all questions answered, at your pace.
- Expert guidance on your own sewing machine (no need to learn twice!).
- Step-by-step instructions for threading, stitches, tension, and troubleshooting.
- A small sewing project (or support with your own project) to practise new skills.
- Confidence to use your machine independently after the lesson.
Knowledge required
None — this class is perfect for absolute beginners. If you’ve never threaded a sewing machine before, we’ll start from scratch. If you’ve done a little sewing already, we can build on what you know and focus on troubleshooting or a specific project. Every lesson is tailored to your skill level — no previous experience needed.
What to bring
- Your sewing machine (set up where we’ll work).
- The power cord, foot pedal, and any accessories it came with (bobbins, presser feet, needles).
- A small selection of fabric scraps (we can use these for testing stitches).
- Any current sewing project you’d like help with (optional).
- A flat, well-lit surface with a power outlet nearby (a kitchen or dining table works well).
- A notebook and pen, if you’d like to jot down tips.
- Your machine’s instruction manual (if you have it) — makes troubleshooting easier.
Suitable for
This experience would also be a unique gift for her, gift for mum, Father's Day gift or gift for couples.

Your teacher
I discovered sewing when I was a child, I wanted to create clothes for my fashion dolls and then, I sewed for myself. What started with simple garments soon became a lifelong passion. Over the years, I’ve explored everything from dressmaking and alterations to upcycling and creative, sustainable fashion. For me, sewing isn’t just a skill — it’s a way to express creativity, problem-solve, and slow down in a busy world.I love teaching because I like to transmit my knowledge and also it’s very rewarding to see the smile when my "pupils" realise they can make something beautiful with their own hands. Whether it’s helping a complete beginner thread their first machine, or guiding someone through a tricky project, I enjoy creating a calm, encouraging environment where learning feels inspiring rather than intimidating.Alongside my classes, I run Petit Citron — a well-known French sewing community that has helped thousands of people learn to sew through tutorials, ebooks, and patterns. My work has been featured in magazines, and I’ve collaborated with publications like Larousse and Modes & Travaux to create accessible, stylish projects. With more than a decade of experience, I’ve taught everyone from solo beginners to groups of children.Something many people don’t know? Sewing is full of little secrets — from techniques that instantly improve a finish, to clever ways to recycle and restyle garments. I love sharing those tips that make students say, “Why didn’t I learn this sooner?”If you’re curious, creative, or just want to try something new, come join me. Whether you dream of making your own clothes, repairing what you already have, or simply enjoying a relaxing new hobby, I’d be delighted to guide you on your sewing journey.
