In this exciting sewing class in Northolt, West London you will learn the ins and outs of domestic sewing. If you've always wanted to explore the world of fashion but have been apprehensive about the cost, this is the perfect opportunity for you.
Over the course of two 3-hour sessions, held on Saturdays once a month, you will be guided through various sewing techniques that will help you gain confidence in your skills. You will learn how to thread up a machine, including the bobbin, and discover how to inset an invisible zip using finishing techniques such as the French seam.
This workshop is designed to alleviate any fears you may have as a beginner, and you will be amazed at just how much you can achieve. The friendly atmosphere will make you feel at ease as you navigate your way through simple sewing tasks to hone your abilities. By the end of the course, you will even be able to create your very own simple tote bag or cushion.
Throughout the workshop, you will work with a variety of materials, allowing you to experiment and find your own unique style. The supportive instructor will provide step-by-step instructions, ensuring that you feel comfortable every step of the way.
Not only will this workshop introduce you to the world of fashion and sewing, but it will also provide you with a transformative experience. As your skills grow, you will gain a sense of accomplishment and the confidence to tackle more complex projects in the future. And the best part? You get to take home your creations, a tangible reminder of your journey into the exciting world of sewing.

We believe in conducting short courses as the learner will gain more skills & will be making garments from the onset and seeing results & gaining more confidence and wanting to experiment and make more garments.plus us as tutors are more than happy help with you gaining more & new addad skills
The tutors want to give something back to the industry, as we believe arts & craft as a skill is being lost the digital world
The ability to create something from your own mind & hands is a very satisfying feeling which gives a sense of achievement that you........ & yes I'm talking to you have made a garment, Imagine your friends asking where did you buy that top, trouser dress, skirt....etc and you telling them you made it yourself, all of a sudden you friends are placing orders, or maybe you want to sew as a hobby.... but whatever the choice book a course with us
