Sewing courses

If you are wanting to learn some sewing skills and to make some soft furnishings for your home, then you have come to the right place.

Scatter Cushion

We run one-day courses on how to make a pipped and zipped scatter cushion. You will be given some tips and guidance on using a sewing machine and troubleshooting on when things go wrong. You will learn how to make piping from your chosen fabric, how to make a cutting plan, pattern matching and how to insert a concealed zip. A feather cushion pad will be supplied to you, but we ask you to bring half a meter of your chosen fabric.

Boxed Cushion

We run one-day courses on how to make a box cushion. You will be given guidance and tips on how to use a sewing machine. You will learn how to measure up your existing cushion accurately, making a cutting plan, pattern matching, making a zip panel and how to complete the perfect box cushion. You can bring your own cushion, or we can supply you with a foam, wrapped, pad for this. You just need to bring 1 meter of your chosen fabric. You will go home with a professionally made box cushion and all the skills to make more of them at home.

French Mattress Cushion

We run-one day courses on how to make a French Mattress Cushion. You will be supplied with a pad and box cushion for this. You will be taught how to pin things ready for slip stitching, stitching for a hidden seam, marking up and stitching the pinched edges, how to make buttons and French linen tufts and how to insert and attach them. You will go home with a beautiful French Mattress Cushion and all the skills to make more of them at home.

Our one-day sewing courses are held on a Saturday. All dates and availability are on our timetable page or alternatively drop us an e amil or call to ask. The cost is £100 per person, and this includes lunch and refreshments.

If you have a special occasion and would like a fun sewing day just for you and your friends, then please get in touch and we can look at organising this for you.
