Sewing Workshops in Edinburgh, garment making, embroidery and printed textiles. 

Discover the joy of making with hands-on textile workshops designed for absolute beginners and seasoned stitchers alike. From sewing your own clothes and mastering garment-making techniques to visible mending, upcycling, embroidery, patchwork and creative textile crafts, these workshops are all about learning practical skills in a relaxed, inspiring environment. 

Come for the skills, stay for the community, and experience the satisfaction of transforming fabric into something beautiful, useful and personal. Bring your curiosity, your creativity and maybe even that pile of clothes you’ve been meaning to fix for years.

Our Intermediate Sewing Workshop is perfect for those who already have basic sewing experience or who have completed a beginner’s sewing course and are ready to develop their skills further. Participants should feel confident setting up and threading a sewing machine and have previously completed a simple project, such as a cushion cover.

​

During this hands-on workshop, you will create a beautifully finished lined make-up or wash bag complete with a zip fastening — the ideal project for building confidence and refining your sewing techniques.

You will expand on the foundations learned in a beginner’s class, including machine set-up, bobbin winding, threading, and controlling stitch speed and direction, by progressing to more detailed skills such as:

​

• Inserting a zip

• Sewing with lining

• Accurate cutting techniques

• Precision stitching and finishing

​

This workshop is designed to help you take the next step in your sewing journey and prepare you for more advanced projects, including our dressmaking classes where you can begin making your own garments.
