Dressmaking & Pattern Cutting Classes

All aspects of dressmaking and pattern cutting are covered by a sewing bee workshop, and it’s entirely up to you what you want to get out of it. We can show you how to select the correct pattern size and alter your pattern to get a great fit, or you might like to try making your own patterns from your body measurements.

The groups are usually kept to a maximum of 6 students, enough to make it a fun and social sewing session, but individual enough to make sure that everyone gets the guidance and help they need. This is a great way to make stylish clothes that fit and new friends with a shared passion for sewing.

This is not a course, you just book and pay for the dates that suit you. We run the Sewing Bee on various weekdays and Saturdays, which can be booked as full day, half day or evening sessions.
