This is a fun activity in Broadstairs, Canterbury

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.

“This was a lovely workshop for my teenage daughter. She was taught quite a lot that will hopefully stay in her mind to help her make lots of things on her sewing machine. She is now very keen to get started so thank you very much.”

“I found the class easy to follow. It has helped me understand my own sewing machine and given me lots of ideas how to use it for my needs. The teacher was amazing and moved at my pace. I have managed to use my knowledge from the class to sew my own bow. I have attached a picture of the first thing I have made on my machine”

“After watching the TV programme The Great British Sewing Bee, I decided I would like to try my hand at sewing and booked a one to one sewing class via Hobbycraft. I attended the class today and my teacher was Liz. Liz was very knowledgeable and patient. I purchased a Hobbycraft 19s sewing machine and she showed me step by step how to thread the machine, thread the bobbin and change the different feet explaining what they were used for. Liz explained and demonstrated each stitch and what they would achieve, including the stretch stitches and then allowed me to practice each stage she taught me. Liz also advised that I was able to do embroidery patterns using this machine. When the session ended Liz showed me the products that I could purchase, ie: new bobbins, needles, cotton, embroidery cotton etc. I was very happy with the class tutorial and left feeling confident and looking forward to practicing and hopefully making some nice items.”

“Liz was great, learnt how to set up the sewing machine, how to make a button hole, attach a zip, and hem the edges she also talked me through the different settings on the machine how to change the needle and bobbin and what to do if ur thread ever gets stuck top tips would be to take a pen and make notes off anything important you think you might forget. I felt like there was a lot to take in as a beginner i wish i had more time to stay and practice as i felt like the time went very quickly. I will be booking another one to one lesson for sure aswell as practising at home. Strongly recommend this class for anyone who wants to learn or has a project that need advice. Thankyou Hobbycraft & Thankyou Liz. Happy returning customer.”
