This Beginners Sewing Course is designed to gently introduce you to the fundamentals of sewing and garment construction in a supportive, unhurried way.
Each week focuses on learning a new core technique, allowing time to practise, ask questions, and build confidence as you go. Towards the end of the course, these techniques are brought together to create a simple cotton top, which acts as a practical project to showcase everything you’ve learned. For many beginners, this is a really rewarding first garment.
Standard sizing
To keep the focus on learning techniques, the beginners course works with a standard UK size 12 pattern block. This approach helps students understand construction clearly, without the added complexity of fitting adjustments. Working with personal sizing and fit is introduced in more advanced classes.

This course is ideal for those who enjoy learning at a steady pace and want to develop a solid understanding of sewing basics before moving on to more complex garments or personalised fitting.

This course is ideal if you:
-Are new to sewing or largely self-taught
