In this sewing workshop in Edinburgh, you will learn how to make a tailor's ham, a useful tool for shaping and pressing curved seams. Spend a relaxing couple of hours creating this handy item and stuff it with scraps to take home a new addition to your sewing toolkit. It's a lovely activity that will boost your sewing skills and provide you with a practical item for future projects.
Don't worry if you're new to sewing or workshops. This class is suitable for beginners, and you'll be guided through each step with patience and encouragement. You'll feel supported as you learn, and any questions you have will be warmly welcomed.

I am a sustainable fashion designer from Dublin, now based in Edinburgh. I studied Fashion Design in Ireland before coming to Scotland to do a Masters in Sustainable & Ethical Fashion.
My work uses exclusively vintage and reclaimed materials in a bid to showcase the beauty of reuse!
I really enjoy teaching people and sharing in the joy of creating, upcycling and making unique pieces.
Join me in a group session or 1:1 to learn sewing, upcycling, pattern drafting and more!
