ONE OF SIX

Open to all parents of pre-crawling babies, join me for 4 weeks of beginner's sewing lessons in a calm and welcoming space. We'll work together to create 3 individual projects (one for you and two for your baby), all made from vintage and reclaimed fabrics available at the studio.

There's a dedicated space for the babies to kick around and relax, but we will stop and start according to the needs of everyone in the group. In these relaxed sessions, you'll not only learn a new skill but have time to chat and form connections with other local mums at a similar phase of parenting to you. 

What will you learn?

Week 1: Get to grips with the sewing machine and learn how to make yourself a little lined pouch from a sewing pattern.

Week 2: Learn how to make a simple pair of baby trousers or shorts. Choose from two designs.

Week 3 & 4: Over two sessions will we make a pair of baby dungarees.

You will be taught all of the basic skills needed to use a sewing machine to construct an item from pattern pieces. Learning about cutting fabrics, pattern markings, finishing seams and following the instructions of a sewing pattern.

What will the sessions be like?

The sessions will be very relaxed and paced according to you and your babies. We will go slowly and work around what’s needed in the moment - there will be lots of stops for feeds, changes and cuddles. We’ll all work together to make each other feel at ease and just enjoy some time to be creative and learn new skills.

There’s a dedicated space for the babies to lie with activity gyms and a bouncy chair.
