Recent reviews of Full Day Sewing for Beginners Workshop

  • 5/5 from Tara Dixon, attended Jun 2026: Absolutely loved this session. It was paced perfectly and managed to cater to a group with different levels of experience. I am deaf and found things really easy to follow. Can’t wait to do my next class.
  • 5/5 from Stephanie Reed, attended Jun 2026: Alison was brill, gave me 3 tips in the first 30 mins which solve a lot of problems for me with sewing. I really enjoyed the day with some lovely people, a great little space and cool projects. Thank you
  • 5/5 from Rebecca Whittaker, attended Jun 2026: Thank you for a relaxed and very enjoyable day! The projects (tote bag and cushion) got us straight back into using a sewing machine again, which I found so helpful as a returner to sewing after many years. Alison was so clear and helpful, and had time for everyone regardless of ability. Would highly recommend and will be booking future courses
  • 5/5 from Andreia Morete, attended Jun 2026: I had so much fun and learnt so much during this workshop. Alston was patient and answered all my questions eventhough I was a complete beginner. I strongly recommend this workshop.
  • 5/5 from Ellie Parks, attended Jun 2026: Alison was very friendly and always happy to answer any questions. The class felt very relaxed and I enjoyed it. The time went so quickly! I made a beautiful tote bag and cushion which I’m really pleased with, they look very neat and professional.
  • 5/5 from Clare Cavanagh, attended Feb 2026: Had a fab time today. Even mastered an invisible zip with guidance from Alison. Lovely comfortable afternoon meeting and chatting to new people whilst learning new skills
  • 5/5 from Victoria Renwick, attended Feb 2026: I loved the class today nice and slow for a true beginner and the leading lady was super helpful and friendly. We made a cushion and a tote bag and I was very proud to take my creations home.
  • 5/5 from Janette Fife, attended Sep 2025: As a complete beginner, I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop. Alison was fantastic, so friendly, patient and helpful. I came away feeling like I had really accomplished new skills with two pieces that allowed me to learn the basics at a pace that was just right. I would highly recommend and am looking forward to further workshops at Re-create.
  • 5/5 from Lyndsey Cottiss, attended Sep 2025: Great session. I had never used a sewing machine before and have finished the day with a completed bag and cushion cover (including a hidden zip). Alison is patient and has plenty of time to help on an individual basis as the group size is kept to a small number. I've already signed up for my next course.

Re-Create today was set up in 2016 and the aim was to create a safe and fun environment to offer a range of sewing and crafting inspired workshops. We run our workshops on the first floor premises of 62-64 Park View in Whitley Bay. We host and run workshops, courses and weekly groups. I have personally been running sewing and textile workshops for over eight years now. Our courses are run over a four week period for two and a half hours each week. Materials are included in our courses. The courses are aimed at absolute beginners. Mental Health is very important and our workshops enable the attendees to be mindful and focus on the task in hand. This enables them to be present and for a short time forgot about the daily stresses of the outside world.
