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.

Fabric - A stiffer fabric works best to keep tension of thread - so avoid very light cottons, satins and stretch jersey. If you have anything you can upcycle - old shirts, jeans etc. Or you can embroider directly onto clothes you still wear
