Sewing Technique Takeover Workshop

Get to grips with the trickier bits of sewing with the winner of the Great British Sewing Bee!



3 hours Class size 3 to 5 guests       £40

Get to grips with the more complex parts of sewing in this ‘Techniques Takeover’ workshop. This practical activity is designed to help you master some of sewing’s most useful – and sometimes fiddly – skills in a supportive setting.
Each session focuses on a specific technique, from collars and cuffs to zips and facings. It's a great way to sharpen your sewing skills, whether you’re learning something new or just brushing up on your knowledge. You will learn how the technique works and then try it out for yourself, step-by-step.
This hands-on practice will help you build confidence with the trickier bits of dressmaking. You will be guided through the whole process in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
At the end of the workshop, you will leave with an enhanced understanding and a set of sample toiles. These will be an invaluable reference for you to use in all your future sewing projects, giving you a brilliant foundation for your craft.
What you'll get
  • Take your sample toiles home!
  • Leave with the skills and guidance to confidently create new pieces at home.
Knowledge required

What to bring
  • All materials will be provided, but you can bring your own fabric for your creation!
  • A bottle of water, to stay hydrated

  • 5/5 from Michael Hall, attended Jul 2025: Simply had the best day with Luke, they were helpful, friendly and super knowledgeable! Left with so many great tips!
  • 5/5 from Rebeca Hayes, attended Jul 2025: I signed up to one of Luke's technique takeovers, to smarten up my self-taught sewing skills. This class was an absolute joy! Luke was super welcoming and reassuring. He gave me lots of sewing tips thaylt I'm already putting into practise as well as guiding me through construction of a very neat fly zip. It was also just really fun to chat sewing for a few hours in his studio. Thanks so much for a lovely afternoon! I'll be booking on again soon.

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.
