This is a fun activity in Newport

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.

“Very patient teacher who helped with the very basics such as threading, different stitches, needle changes etc. Worth the money and would come back for another course once I need more help with zipping, piping, and other more 'advanced' techniques.”

“Hi There Re: Introduction to Sewing Machine I am a total beginner with sewing machines, having always hand sewn out of fear that I couldn't use a machine. I recently bought myself a machine and booked in with tutor Alice. Clearly Alice is extremely knowledgeable, yet she put me at complete ease when I explained I'm totally new to this. She made me feel comfortable when asking the most basic of questions (basic but a minefield for a newbie), she was fun and has the most lovely personality. There wasn't anything that I asked that she couldn't answer. She went at my speed rather than rushing. Having never used a machine before, I left being able to do all basic tasks and came away with more knowledge than I had expected. It's a rarity to be with someone who can answer anything you throw at them, to be able to learn at your own speed and to be asked what I'd like to know next. Alice kept checking in to see if I needed to go over an area again and gave me so many really useful tips. My life is very stressful at moment and I don't have much time to myself at all. Not only did I have an hour away to do something for myself and learn new things, but I was with someone who didn't make me feel stupid and helped me forget life stresses for that moment. I took so much away from that hour, it was quite unbelievable. I'm now booking more classes, ongoing, with Alice. I can't praise Alice and the course structure enough, absolutely brilliant all round, really lovely, extremely knowledgeable girl”
