Speciality Sessions
Come by yourself or bring a friend! These sessions deep-dive into a few detailed topics to help take your sewing to a new level. If you want to learn something specific that isn’t covered in these sessions, email me and I can create a bespoke lesson just for you.
My Oxford based lessons are designed to be hands-on, experimental and most of all fun! These sessions aren’t suitable for complete beginners, but as each of these Speciality Sessions can be tailored to you, I will make sure you never feel out of your depth. You can explore a variety of professional techniques in a supportive and friendly way, and whether you’d like to try out industrial machinery (there is an industrial straight stitch machine and overlocker here to use) or prefer to bring your own machine to practice on, all options are available.
Follow the links for each of the classes to learn more.
