"I wore the top today and my running buddy seemed genuinely surprised when I said I'd made it! I made a 'skort' as well." Kim Gow, Teacher, Burgess Hill

Everyone brings a boring pair of knickers (eg from a 4-pack from M&S) and sets to work with our gorgeous array of ribbons, beads, lace, fringing etc to transform them. Helped along by delicious cake and plenty of tea... To see more details of our Hen Parties click here | ||

Karen's son made this cute cushion in a 1-2-1 Kids lesson during school holidays. "He absolutely loved the sewing session and the instructor. And is very proud of the cushion he made! So thank you much." Karen Scanlon, Brighton
| | "I was very excited to try the Stitch Classes at Sew in Brighton as I have always wanted to learn how to make clothes. I've made things before - cushions, curtains, toys - but never felt confident enough to try making clothes. My first project was an A-line skirt and I'm so happy with how it has turned out. Kat helped me fit the skirt perfectly to my shape and everyone I've shown has been very impressed! It was great for me to learn some techniques like adding a zip (which I'm so proud of!) and understanding the right way to finish of edges and seams. The classes are great and as they are not structured you can get on with your projects knowing you have help at hand. Liz Bowyer, website deigner Hove - |
Student Gabrielle made this McCall's blouse in morning Stitch Classes
