Want to sew your own clothes, or simply want to get to grips with that sewing machine that’s gathering dust in the corner? Join us fortnightly on Wednesday mornings and lose yourself in sewing. It’s all very relaxed and informal; we have large cutting tables for your pattern cutting and will help guide you through how to get the best out of your machine, whilst making something beautiful to take home. Bring your own machine, or if you’ve not invested in a machine yet use one of ours. Places are limited so please book to avoid disappointment.

The moulds can be reused to make pendants, earrings, brooches, keyrings and fridge magnets.
