This is a fun activity in Ferndown, Bournemouth

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.

Becky was lovely, took the time to listen & understand what I wanted to get out of the session which was to pick up sewing again after the last time was about 45 years ago! I was able to ask lots of questions & she explained how the extra bits that come with the machine worked, what different stitches could be used for and how to feel confident using my own machine at home. Excellent teacher, excellent value!

My teacher was very patient and ran me through how to use and set up a machine , she took an interest in what machine I had so should could tailor the information to suit my needs.

Becky was fantastic, she showed my daughter how to use the machine we had purchased, helped her find ideas and inspiration for projects and showed her how to make a scrunchie and attach zippers to projects! Highly recommend this session to anyone, especially a 12 year old starting out in her own machine after falling in love with textiles at school!

Becky was brilliant, she explained everything to my 11 year old granddaughter. She was so friendly and we're hoping to book another session with her.

Very disappointed and angry that it was cancelled at the last minute. I had paid for my dog to go into day care which was a waste if money.

Becky was so helpful explaining exactly what I needed to know and really patient and friendly. I now feel like I'm not a complete novice and look forward to practicing on my new sewing machine that my husband gifted me for our ruby anniversary, purchased from hobby craft. Great that Becky could show me on my machine.
