Upcycling, Mending, Pattern Cutting - 3 Week Daytime Course

Give your old clothes a new lease on life at this sewing course in Edinburgh!



3 x 5 hours Class size 5 to 6 guests       £150 (PayPal Pay in 3 available)

Join this upcycling class in Edinburgh and discover how to breathe new life into your wardrobe while embracing a more sustainable approach to fashion. Over three exciting days at the Edinburgh Sewcial Club studio, you'll learn how to restyle and revamp your old clothes into one-of-a-kind pieces.
Throughout this three-week course, you'll be guided through pattern-cutting techniques that make it simple to resize vintage treasures or charity shop finds. You'll also explore how to construct entirely new garments from old fabric or re-line your favourite jackets. Whether you're looking to adjust a fit or completely reimagine a style, you'll have the space and support to get hands-on with your projects.
While you don't need to be an upcycling expert to join in, some prior machine sewing experience is necessary to get the most out of the sessions. It's a great place to start if you've already completed a beginner's sewing class and want to take your skills to the next level. Because class sizes are kept small, you’ll receive plenty of one-to-one time with a professional dressmaker and designer who has decades of experience to share.
In this supportive environment, you'll find it easy to switch off from the daily grind and focus on your creation. You'll finish the course with the knowledge to independently restyle your clothing and a stunning, bespoke garment to take home. It’s a rewarding way to spark your imagination and kickstart a lifelong obsession with ethical, handmade fashion.
