Learning to sew in London – how hard is it? 

The difficulty of learning to sew can vary depending on the complexity of the projects you choose to undertake and your level of dedication to the craft. For basic sewing tasks like hemming or sewing on buttons, the learning curve is generally low, and you can quickly grasp the necessary skills with a little practice – especially with a friendly teacher by your side! However, as you progress to more advanced techniques like garment construction, fitting, and intricate stitching, sewing can become more challenging and require hands-on guidance and support. 

Remember that making mistakes is a natural part of the learning process, so don't be discouraged if your early projects don't turn out perfectly. With practice and a willingness to learn from your experiences, you can become a skilled sewist and enjoy the rewarding results of your creations.
