Happy New Year!

In the Saturday sewing classes, every month there is a new project with new sewing skills to learn!

Since August, students have sewn a patchwork quilt, a teddy, pyjama bottoms, beanies and scarves, wow!

If you can use a sewing machine, you are welcome to join the Saturday sewing club. Fabric is included as well as use of a sewing machine. The class projects and dates are listed in the "regular sewing classes" pages in the menu above.

**Please note... There are now two kids/ teens afternoon sewing clubs each month, so you have two dates to choose from.

Both sessions cover the same project and there is the usual morning session too. Morning classes are from 10am to 12:30pm and the afternoon classes are now at a slightly earlier time of 1:30pm to 4pm.

Please click here to book the Saturday sewing club.

Please click on "Sewing Classes" in the top menu for regular classes and one-to-one classes.

There are also classes for anyone wanting to learn to sew. Please click here for all beginners classes.

The next Sewing Machine Driver's Licence group classes are on 31 January, with a morning session for adults and an afternoon session for kids. Children from 8yr upwards can learn to sew!

This class can also be done as a one-to-one at time to suit you if you prefer.

Top Notch Sewing Centre holds small group sewing classes and one to one's, plus pattern and skills classes. Group class sizes are small with a maximum of 4 students per class, so booking in advance is advised.

Happy New Year! ... x Caroline

I honestly can’t recommend Caroline enough. She is a true sewing queen and such a creative soul. Anytime I have an idea or need an outfit, she always goes above and beyond to bring my vision to life—and somehow makes it even better than I imagined. She’s a constant source of inspiration for me and is genuinely amazing at what she does. You can really see the passion and care she puts into every piece. She also runs sewing sessions that are so welcoming and inspiring. If you’re looking for someone talented, creative, and dedicated, definitely check her out—you won’t regret it.
