Treat your child to a few hours of creative fun at our Freestyle Sewing sessions, held on the first Saturday of each month.
They’ll get stuck into sewing, crafting and designing projects to instill a sense of confidence and pride. These sessions are open to kids of all sewing abilities, from complete newbies to confident creators. Regardless of their ability, they’ll leave with new knowledge and progress on projects appropriate to their skill level.
This is a great extracurricular activity that will give your child transferable life skills. They’ll learn to use a sewing machine and discover loads of other craft and design techniques including: appliqué, embroidery, free machining, dressmaking, pattern cutting, and much, much more!
What’ll they make
Each child will tackle a project of their choosing, individually guided by one of our friendly and experienced teachers. We have a huge range of projects on offer so they can choose to make something they will love and cherish for years to come.
They can also choose fabric and trims available in our studio. We have everything, from regular cotton and standard buttons, to plush faux fur and sequins – a dream for imaginative young makers!
Some of our projects include: cuddlies, bags, t-shirts, skirts, trousers, cushions the list goes on…
Who’s it for?
These sessions are suitable for budding sewers of all abilities, for children in year 2 and above. Please note, we have recently had to increase the age criteria so please email if you child is 6 but in year 1.
They can be a great help for GSCE and A-level work, and can also go towards D of E skills.
This session can also serve as a taster to see if your child would like to sign up for our After School Club or Holiday Classes.
Please note: we cannot offer childcare over lunch time.

My 11 years daughter and I had a fantastic time at this Saturday sewing session! We picked a project from the many pictures shown on the boards (covering a variety of difficulty grades), setting our heart on making matching pouches. We chose lovely fabric together, from a huge variety and of good quality. The atmosphere of the class was so calm, despite the young age of some of the participants, as everyone was so focused and gratified by the effort of making their own item. I really appreciated to read some facts around the positive impact that reusing fashion material has on the environment. Annie and Marcus were such delightful instructors, they paid regular attention to everyone in the class and came just at the right time between stages of the project, with an infinite patience for all my questions as a first timer (my daughter has attended holiday clubs before, so clearly more experienced than me)! We went home all proud of what we had achieved and with a great sense of bonding, which is priceless approaching teenage years… Thank you, having such an enjoyable and enriching experience was an absolute gift! I am so glad parents can take part too on Saturdays, so will be coming again with both my children next time :-)

My daughter went for a taster session having heard a couple of her friends rave about the classes. I hated sewing at school finding it such a slow process. We would spend a couple of terms making a bag. In her first and only session she was shown how to use a sewing machine and made a velvet snood! Amazing! Also a massive confidence boost for her when she saw my impressed and surprised reaction. Please can you teach her to see on Cub badges now?! Maybe less exciting!!

Brilliant as always. My daughter made a beautiful soft stretchy T-shirt in 3h, and I made her a waistcoat. Freya and Cosima are amazing. I had a project in mind, and they immediately found the perfect pattern for me and helped me make it work. My daughter is so proud of everything she achieves at Make mee studio freestyle classes. We are learning skills that will give us joy for the rest of our lives!
