The Sewing Academy

Come and join me on one of my courses or workshops and share my love of sewing. I currently run classes for complete beginners and also for more experienced sewers and offer small friendly group sessions as well as one to one tuition.
New Class dates are listed below.

The Sewing Academy

The Sewing Academy was born from the desire to share the knowledge that I have gained from working as a designer in the fashion industry and also my experience of working with fashion students in local colleges and universities. Sewing can be great fun and a hobby that can be enjoyed by young and old. My classes are a great way for beginners to learn at a steady pace and for more experienced sewers to brush up and refine their skills. Whatever your experience a warm welcome awaits you at the Sewing Academy.
Please contact me for more information or to reserve your place on a course.


The courses do book up quickly and if you would like to reserve a place or ask any questions please message me via the contact form or telephone/text 07984166230
