About this event

  • Free venue parking

How do I shorten the sleeves? lengthen my skirt? fix my torn jeans? sew a button on? ... Don't get rid of that item you loved, lets show it some TLC & fix it! Bring your clothes or décor items and learn mending, altering and customising skills and tips which you can use on loads of your other clothes and décor items too. In this 2-hour workshop, we will work with you to plan what you can do and then help you gain the skills to do it. Any skill samples you make can be mounted on the Sewing Tutor portfolio pages you will receive, where you can also sketch your design ideas, construction tips and make further notes. And if your project is going to need more time or input, there are a whole host of dates to choose from.

All the equipment & tools you will need are provided including a sewing machine, and fabric and haberdashery for all skill-samples. If you need any additional fabric or haberdashery, we can plan this with you too and suggest where you can find this locally (& the shop is just down the road!)

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

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

We may be able to amend 1-2-1 & 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.

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.
