Sew Me Something

sew me something

Founded by Jules Fallon in 2012, Sew Me Something began as a small sewing class at a local highschool tech room. Workshops were so popular that Jules had no choice but to up-sticks and find her classes a new home of their own. From a quirky little store in the center of Stratford-Upon-Avon (which featured a modest haberdashery downstairs and sewing studio upstairs) Jules opened the first Sew Me Something Store and soon after, created the very first SMS sewing pattern (The Kate Dress - still a customer favourite!). Sew Me Something quickly outgrew the Stratford store and moved again, further into the Warwickshire countryside. Ten years on and SMS business is now an award-winning business, with; a huge range of workshops available, a vast haberdashery, an endless library of exclusive sewing patterns, with an online sewing subscription service and Dressmakers’ Diploma course to boot! With the Sew Me Something pattern library and team constantly growing, so is our commitment to create inclusive sewing patterns that are not only fashion forward with a nod to the classics, but also wearable! Both our patterns and workshops are built with our customers in mind and are run/produced by industry experts who are committed to help build your sewing skills and confidence.

The Stitchery

Cardiff

Making your own clothes is about learning to be yourself: choosing your own fabric; fitting to your own unique body; expressing your own unique style. It's about breaking from the herd and a reliance on hi-street clothing that is often low quality and generic. Our mission at The Stitchery is to equip you with all the skills and resources you need to make well fitting, personalised garments. One of the primary ways we do this is through private one-to-one or small group tuition.

Leamington Spa

My passion for sewing started at an early age when making matching outfits for mother and daughter was the done thing! The sewing machine we used was temperamental but despite this I was hooked! On visits to my grandparents I would also watch my granny hand sewing little bags with zips or altering her clothes. The possibilities of this new hobby seemed endless. You could also save a fortune and I was so pleased with my creations… What I loved about sewing and still do, is being able to make something that is exactly what I want and it is well-finished enough so it looks as though I have bought it. It certainly doesn’t have to be expensive either, in fact the thriftier the better! Over the years I have been on various courses and workshops to learn more about sewing (and in particular more recently about soft furnishings) and I even got myself a job for a year in the Fabric Department at Liberty in London which was really rather special! I eventually became a teacher myself (English as a Foreign Language) which I loved; I now know how I would want to be taught and how not to teach! For the past six years or so I have been making soft furnishings in the room at the bottom of the garden, firstly for family, then friends and then others, all with the ultimate aim of setting up sewing workshops. And so my dream job is now a reality: all my experience has come together so I can teach people my passion for fabrics, colour, sewing and soft furnishings. The satisfaction I get and can give my students is immense; now I am giving people the skills and the confidence to make beautiful cushions for their home or for their friends; teaching them how to calculate and cut for beautifully hand-finished curtains and blinds… and all in the fabric they love! These sewing workshops are the making-time for you and your home – so what will you come and learn?

Thimbleberry Sewing

thimbleberry sewing

Hi, I am Geraldine Christie the owner of Thimbleberry Sewing. A small independent sewing/crafting venue since 2020 in Elderslie, Scotland. It’s a place to learn new skills, built confidence and meet new people. All classes are run from my home in a sociable and welcoming environment with a maximum of four students per class. I cater for those who are complete beginners or more advanced sewists. I have always had a passion for sewing and crafting and learned to sew from an early age. You could say its in my blood as I come from a long family tradition of sewing, passed down from my Great Grandmother. Although I could sew I wanted to learn more and trained at Cardonald College in Glasgow where I achieved an HNC in Clothing Technology. I then set up my own Dressmaking business specializing in Bridal wear. After some time I wanted to pass on my skills and teach. After completing a BA in Consumer & Management Studies (Home Economics) and a PGDE teaching Diploma I was qualified to teach. I taught in Secondary schools for 12 years so, with over 30 years sewing experience you are in safe hands.

Walthamstow

I set up cheekyhandmades after I left my job 2010. I really wanted to use all my creative skills, skills I’d had for many years but never had time to use any more, and skills I realised I could and wanted to pass on. I also wanted to work for myself, I wanted to be able to work around my children. And I am doing all of that now, and am loving it. I get to be surrounded by like minded people, great fabrics, my kids and cats, and listen to music all day. I get to decide what I do every day and how I do it.
