In the Sew Your Own Weekend, there is no expectation of following a particular project or getting to a certain point by a certain time, this is about about you giving yourself the time and space you need to sew uninterrupted and without guilt.
-
Maybe you’ve become stuck with a certain project and would benefit from the expertise and advice of a qualified dressmaker? This is the place for you.
-
I will be on hand to help with all aspects of your fitting and making journey, offering advice and practical help where needed. If you have any questions beforehand, you can contact me here.
-
The Open Sew Weekend is open to anyone who already knows how to use a sewing machine. Before you make a decision, see what past participants have to say!
How Payment Plans Work
I use a third party website, GoCardless, to manage payment plans for my sewing classes.
Simply fill in your details as requested, state how many payments you’d like your payment plan to be (there is a maximum of 2 for this sewing class) when prompted and pay your deposit. Your payment plan will be manually set up using the email address you provide and split into even payments.
Â
Registering for a payment plan will automatically enrol you on the sewing class, and so the same cancellation policy applies.

Because everyone is working on their own project…​​
-
You get to make *exactly* what you wantÂ
-
There is no expectation to get to a certain point at a certain time

There is the opportunity for lots of one-to-one tuition and fitting time with me
-
Being surrounded by all of the creativity in the room will inspire more projects and ideas than you came in with – be warned!​
-
If you don’t already have a project in mind, and the idea of choosing your own one is a bit daunting​, I can have a pre-class call with you to discuss your options and make a plan based on your own objectives.
This is about making time for you to sew, so…​

A freshly cooked lunch each day and snacks are included as part of the weekend​

You get to leave your machine and project out overnight – bliss!​

No interruptions… There will be no having to drop what you are doing to (insert whatever chore gets in the way of your creativity here). Isn’t that the dream?
