Join us for three 2-hour Saturday morning workshops - May 3, 10 & 17, 10am-12pm - to refresh or learn how to thread & use a sewing machine, & make skill-samples of seams, hems & fastenings, including a zip. You will receive printed Sewing Tutor portfolio pages on which to make notes and mount your skill-samples, so you can gradually build up your very own Sewing Tutor how-to guide!

Everything you need for all the skill-samples will be provided, including a sewing machine, equipment, fabric and haberdashery. For the cushion cover or bag, you will need to bring fabric & haberdashery & we suggest upcycling an old garment or décor item for this. Details of what you need will be sent after registration.

Please note - the workshops are on the 2nd floor and unfortunately there is no lift.

Frequently asked questions

What's Included?

Sewing Tutor portfolio pages are included for you to mount your skills samples on and to take notes on. All equipment and tools are here for you to use, including 3 sewing machines or you can bring your own. We provide you with the fabric and haberdashery you need for the skill samples you can make.

What should I bring?

Fabric, a zip & thread for the bag or cushion cover, detailed info will be sent after registration. Optional: A4 folder for your samples & notes; your own sewing machine and/or equipment if you have them, so you learn on what you will be later using at home.

What is the exact address?

We are based on Marine Parade in Kirn, Dunoon, PA23 8HH. After registration, we will email you the exact address and any other information you may need. Please note we are on the second floor and there is no lift.

Do you have other courses I can do after this?

Yes! And we'd love you to join another of our workshops! Whether you’re a seasoned sewer or just starting out, we have loads of great skills and project based workshops happening now and coming up. So keep an eye on our website, janehdee.com/sewing-tutor, & the Eventbrite listings.

What if I can't make one of those dates?

We may be able to amend private Group bookings with 2 weeks notice. All other workshops we cannot change so recommend you please check dates before booking. OR you could buy a Voucher to use at a time which suit you. For unforeseen circumstances, we can plan homework with you.

Can I get a refund?

As we buy stock well ahead of each course, unfortunately we cannot give refunds from 14 days before the start date. But please be in touch because if we have others waiting, a refund may be possible. If it's because you cannot make a workshop, we can help you plan homework instead!

Organized by

Sewing Tutor

Sewing Tutor Workshops offer hands-on skills and project based learning. The Skills-based workshops offer courses which focus on making samples of a wide range of skills, which you mount on your Sewing Tutor pages, and can refer back to, to help you in further projects (example Code L1S1). In the Project-based workshops students make skills-samples specific to the item they will be making, for example a skirt (example code L2P5). As with the skill-based learning, students mount these skill-samples in their Sewing Tutor pages, which becomes their own Sewing Tutor how-to reference guide.
