Sew Your Own Way
Last session of 2025 -15th December 18.30 - 20.30
You Can Sew Your Own Wayyyyyy…This is the perfect class for people who want some support for levelling up their sewing skills with tailored (pun intended) guidance and advice.
We keep the class size small so you get plenty of attention.
You can bring along a project you’re working on OR you can work on one of our specially selected projects with our guidance.
You can book for just one class or book a bundle to come to a few.
We welcome sewers of all levels, including beginners but you do need to know the basics, like how to thread the machine. (We won’t have scope to show you this during the session, come to one of our absolute beginners classes if that’s what you need.)
Changes incomming for 2026
From January we will be running Mondays 18.30 - 20.30 & Wednesdays 19.00 - 21.00 every week!
Increasing the number of sessions will give you more opportunities to book & more flexibility.
NEW FOR 2026 - In addition to bringing your own project to Sew Your Own Way, you can now also book our popular next steps dressmaking courses as project bundles and tackle them whenever you want! This is perfect for people that want to have a little more structure to these sessions or for people who wanted to join the courses below but couldn’t make a fixed course!
The projects you can choose from are:
✨ The Ilford Jacket, - pattern included
✨ The Zadie Jumpsuit - pattern included
✨ Make a Rucksack
✨ Make a Top
✨ Make Dungarees
Scroll to the bottom of the page to find out more about each individual course.
We have also increased the time you have for the project & reduced the costs, win, win win!
Just choose your project, book your bundle, choose your dates, (they don’t have to be consecutive weeks, make the course work for you!) We just ask that you use the bundle sessions within 3 months.
We’ve predicted how long on average we think each project will take, some people may be quicker which means you get an extra session to freestyle. Or you may need to top up with another session depending on how quickly you work.
Nothing’s changed for our regulars who like to bring their own work, we’ve just added more structure for people who want a clearer sewing path.
**NEW BUNDLES WILL BE LIVE ON 15th December**

These sessions are for people who have used a sewing machine before who need more focused guidance or a boost of confidence. You need some sewing experience but we’re also happy to give you a refresher if you’re a bit rusty.
Maybe you’re tackling a new pattern, need some help with fit or demystifying pattern language. You are in the drivers seat.
If you know what you're doing but you want some company whilst you sew, check out our Sewcials.
