Sew Friendly open sessions (5 hours)
Our regular stitch classes for those looking to build their skills or sew in a friendly relaxed environment.
Need help with some dressmaking? Looking to adjust a pattern? Stuck on a piece of patchwork? Not sure where to start with a project? Want some pointers on how to complete your project? These sessions allow you to bring along your own project and our tutor will be on hand to provide any guidance that you may be after. Or just come and sew in company!
Sessions last 3 or 5 hours depending on the slot that you book.
Please note that these sessions do need to be booked in advance but don’t worry if you don’t have a machine as we have plenty in our studio that you can use on the day.
During these sessions you are welcome to use our Overlockers (free) , Coverstitch machine, ideal for hemming stretch fabrics, (£7 per hour) and Sashiko machine (£7 per hour) . Support and tuition is provided you just need to let us know when booking so we can make sure we have everything to hand.

Tutor
Sarah Brangwyn
Owner of Made and Making, Sarah has been sewing all her life. Her passion is helping others to gain the same level of enjoyment from mastering these creative skills. She's known for her infectious enthusiasm, her endless knowledge and for her knack for explaining things clearly, leading to lots of 'aha!' moments. In a previous life, Sarah was a branch manager in an insurance firm. Taking redundancy in 2012 allowed her to follow her dream of creating a hub for sewing and craft. At Made and Making Sarah teaches sewing, crochet, needle felting and other craft courses. She's also one of the tutors for the children's workshops. When family life allows, Sarah loves nothing more than immersing herself in her own projects.
