Learn how to make your very own smock dress and enjoy that wonderful 'I made it' moment at this beginner's sewing class in Salford.
This is a fantastic activity if you have no previous sewing experience. All the machines, tools, and threads you need will be waiting for you, and your friendly teacher will guide you through every part of the process, from the first stitch to the final gather. You'll learn alongside other makers in a supportive and friendly workshop.
To make the most of the class time, you will be sent the pattern with clear instructions after booking. You will need to cut out your fabric pieces at home and arrive with them ready to sew. It's best to choose a fabric that gathers well, but most importantly, pick a material that you love and will be excited to wear.
You’ll head home with a beautiful handmade dress, new sewing skills, and the confidence to tackle your next project, plus the satisfaction of making something special in good company.

sewlukeivo is the creative studio of Luke-Matthew Iveson, a designer and sewist based in Manchester. The studio was founded on a simple idea: that making your own clothes should feel accessible, expressive, and completely your own.
After winning Season 10 of The Great British Sewing Bee, sewlukeivo became a space to share that approach—through sewing patterns, limited drops, and studio workshops.
