Description
A one day dressmaking class for those who have a particular pattern in mind, not covered in one of our other classes. Please contact us after booking to ensure your pattern choice is suitable for the class and student skill level. We can also help you choose a pattern if you can’t decide!
Our sewing classes are relaxed and friendly, taking place at our beautiful studio at Holme Grange Craft Village in Wokingham, Berkshire. You’ll get to use our brand new digital Janome sewing machines and class sizes are capped at six to ensure everyone gets the time and attention they need.
Please note the complexity of your pattern, and your level of sewing experience may mean you might not complete your pattern in the one day class, but you will be given lots of tips and help to ensure you are comfortable completing your project at home.

Pattern Sizing
