Join a Hobbycraft Colleague one-to-one and ask any questions you have about your sewing machine! Need help setting up your new machine? Want to learn about how to use certain tools and accessories? Getting stuck on a certain technique? Our craft expert will share tips and advice tailored to you.

This is suitable for beginners looking to get started in sewing, providing the opportunity to get all the answers you need. It’s a great way to get a feel for your sewing machine, troubleshoot any problems you’re having with your current project in an easy, direct way or learn about features you’re not as confident with yet.

During the booking process, you’ll have the opportunity to let your Colleague know what you would like to focus on during the session. They’ll be able to prepare for a personalised workshop that answers all of your questions.

You’re sure to walk away a sewing pro, ready to take your designs to a new level!

*Please note that your workshop host will only have access to sewing machines that are currently stocked in Hobbycraft stores.

**Children 12 years and over can book onto this workshop but please note all children under the age of 18 will need parental/guardian supervision for the duration of the workshop. 

Bring a friend: You can now use the £5 add-on feature at checkout to invite a friend along with you, whether you’re working on a project together or you’d simply prefer having some company during the session. Your friend can enjoy any demonstrations given, and they are free to ask questions, but they will not receive the same practical, direct one-to-one support as is offered to the lead participant.

Keeping everyone safe

At Hobbycraft, we want our workshops to be enjoyable, inclusive, and safe for everyone. Some workshops are suitable for children, and where this is the case, a parent or legal guardian is responsible for supervising their child at all times unless the workshop is clearly stated as suitable for independent attendance. Our colleagues and instructors are there to guide the activity and support a safe environment, and if any concerns about safety or wellbeing arise during a workshop, these should be raised with a member of staff straight away.

  • 5/5 from Yvette Tipper, attended Apr 2026: The booking process was very complicated and needed several handlers to conclude. It was mist distressing and soul destroying. A much simplified approach could be adopted where the voucher redeemer contact the location for the workshop and book directly with the serial number and pin number if required. My tutor Hannah was very helpful and informative. I was not new to sewing, but she had some useful tips to pass on which were useful. Her calm approach took me from the ceiling back to the floor.
  • 5/5 from Paola Morgan, attended Nov 2025: My teacher was excellent such an lovely lady so easy to get on with explained everything and I did everything she showed me with ease.

  • 5/5 from Vanessa Robinson, attended Aug 2024: I had the very best time at my sewing one to one at Hobbycraft Hereford. I haven't used a sewing machine since I was probably 12 or 13 at school, so 43 years fast forward and I was back to square one. I couldn't remember a thing. I wanted to make a catnip kicker so I can make them at home to sell for cat charities. My lady, who due to my excitement, I have completely forgot her name was so brilliant and lovely. She's an absolute credit to your team who are all so friendly and helpful. A great workshop at a just the right price for everyone to be able to afford. Thankyou! My photos aren't great but our cats love the finished kicker xx
