This is a fun activity in Canary Wharf, London

Whether you're a beginner or an improver, this private class in Canning Town will ignite your passion for textiles and show you how to use a sewing machine.

You'll get a one-on-one experience with a patient and supportive teacher who is ready to demonstrate and guide you through some sewing techniques. Your teacher Claire will provide all the equipment you need (you can bring your own sewing machine) and will adapt the class based on your abilities. With 6+ years experience teaching sewing skills and 15+ years experience in sewing, garment construction and alterations, Claire is well equipped to take you on your sewing journey.

This sewing class is completely designed around what you want to learn about the sewing machine and the abilities you already have. Prepare a few ideas of what you'd like to achieve, and your teacher will help you make all your sewing dreams come true! You will be asked at the checkout to input a few ideas of what to learn. Don't worry if you change your mind, this just gives your teacher time to prepare. You are welcome to bring your own machine.

Once this class is over, you will take home everything you make to inspire you to pick up some more simple sewing projects at home. If you know someone who has always wanted to sew, this class makes a great gift experience. It's a fun thing to do in London that will get you out of the hustle and bustle and into a fun DIY craft.

Please note:
- The best transport links are Canning Town station and the D3 bus stop Leamouth/ Orchard Place.

As a beginner it was very informative and easy to understand. Claire is great at breaking things down and she made accommodations to what I specifically wanted to learn. Thanks to Claire’s class I now know my way round a sewing machine, different stitches, and how to make a pouch with a zipper!

I really enjoyed the class with Claire! Although I had sewn in the past, I recently felt inspired to pick it up again and wanted to feel confident the next time I sat down at a sewing machine. Claire was incredibly thorough and explained everything clearly and patiently, including helpful guidance on what to look for when purchasing a machine. I left the class with a small pouch I made myself, having learned different types of stitches and how to insert a zipper - such a rewarding experience! I would absolutely recommend this class and am already looking forward to taking another one.

I absolutely loved my sewing lesson, we went through button holes which is something I've struggled with for some time. She was so patient and took her time and I feel so much more confident now. Thank you and will come to a class again in the future!

My 10 year old daughter loved this sewing class. She made a skirt. We brought the pattern, fabric etc. The pace of the class is accessible but will mean most projects will not be finished. We bought 3 hours for my daughter and I to each make a 2 hour skirt but we only managed my daughters skirt. There isn't enough space for more than one project at a time. She is a true dressmaker so you'll learn the proper way, no short cuts here! My daughter is very happy with her skirt.
