This is a fun activity in Peterborough

Join a Hobbycraft Colleague one-to-one and ask any questions you have about your sewing machine! Need help setting up your new machine? Want to learn about how to use certain tools and accessories? Getting stuck on a certain technique? Our craft expert will share tips and advice tailored to you.

This is suitable for beginners looking to get started in sewing, providing the opportunity to get all the answers you need. It’s a great way to get a feel for your sewing machine, troubleshoot any problems you’re having with your current project in an easy, direct way or learn about features you’re not as confident with yet.

During the booking process, you’ll have the opportunity to let your Colleague know what you would like to focus on during the session. They’ll be able to prepare for a personalised workshop that answers all of your questions.

You’re sure to walk away a sewing pro, ready to take your designs to a new level!

*Please note that your workshop host will only have access to sewing machines that are currently stocked in Hobbycraft stores.

**Children 12 years and over can book onto this workshop but please note all children under the age of 18 will need parental/guardian supervision for the duration of the workshop. 

Bring a friend: You can now use the £5 add-on feature at checkout to invite a friend along with you, whether you’re working on a project together or you’d simply prefer having some company during the session. Your friend can enjoy any demonstrations given, and they are free to ask questions, but they will not receive the same practical, direct one-to-one support as is offered to the lead participant.

Keeping everyone safe
At Hobbycraft, we want our workshops to be enjoyable, inclusive, and safe for everyone. Some workshops are suitable for children, and where this is the case, a parent or legal guardian is responsible for supervising their child at all times unless the workshop is clearly stated as suitable for independent attendance. Our colleagues and instructors are there to guide the activity and support a safe environment, and if any concerns about safety or wellbeing arise during a workshop, these should be raised with a member of staff straight away.

“Kate was absolutely wonderful. She was incredibly knowledgeable, with an exceptional amount of experience, and explained everything in such an easy, relaxed, and approachable way. As someone with little to no sewing experience, I was particularly impressed by how she made what initially felt like quite complicated—or even completely unfamiliar—terminology and techniques feel straightforward and manageable. Her expertise really stood out, but she never made me feel out of my depth; she was friendly, patient, and encouraging throughout. I would definitely recommend Kate’s sewing class and would happily book with her again.”

“Kate did a bespoke class for my 14 year old daughter to help her to get started with free motion quilting. She was very knowledgeable and really explained things well for my daughter. An excellent workshop, thanks Kate.”

“It was super fun! I was a beginner so I was shown how to use a sewing machine and sew some fabric for practice! The lady was super friendly and made me feel comfortable. She’d make sure I was sure and that I understood what she was showing me. Definitely coming again soon for another lesson ☺️”

“Another great workshop with Kate today. Fantastic tips advice and support. I could spend all day with Kate who is entertaining and makes the whole process fun. We covered ideas within cricut and used samples and she showed me some tips around my sewing machine. Having not used the machine for a long period it was just what I needed. Kate needs to set up ongoing regular workshops for teams to join which will no doubt be educational and fun and will attract many. Something the area is short of in this current climate. I would certainly be one to attend. Someone with such drive experience in her position is what new beginnings are all about.”
