Sewing Blocks
Sewing Blocks are a group of weekly sessions allowing those ready to start making garments flexibility to focus on a project of their choosing in a classroom environment. Book a 3-week block, choose your pattern, and create something beautiful. Work at your own pace with personalised guidance.

What if I don't finish my pattern in one block?
That's okay — it happens! Some patterns take longer than others, and everyone works at their own pace. You can book another block to continue, or finish at home.
Do I need to bring a sewing machine?
No! We have sewing machines at the studio for you to use. Just bring your fabric and notions as listed on your pattern page.
I'm a complete beginner. Can I join?
Sewing Blocks are for those with basic sewing machine skills. If you're brand new to sewing, start with our First Stitches course first!
Can I change my pattern after booking?
Yes, just let Gemma know before your first session. If the new pattern is a different level, she'll help you choose something appropriate.
