I kept seeing these flower bags everywhere, so I decided to make my own… and then turn it into a workshop for the studio!

During this workshop, we’ll spend 2.5 hours sewing a beautiful flower bag together, and then you’ll have an extra 30 minutes to choose and arrange your own bouquet from a selection of fresh flowers available on the day.

I’ve had so much fun planning this one, and I honestly can’t wait to see everyone’s finished bags filled with flowers.

If you’d like to join us, we’d love to have you there!

Let’s Sew Together

This isn’t a sewing lesson—it’s a chance for people who already know how to sew to come together for an afternoon of sewing, chatting, nibbles, and plenty of inspiration.

Bring along your current project, discover new indie pattern designers, admire each other’s makes, share tips and ideas, and enjoy being in a room full of people who love sewing as much as you do.

This week, I received an email from a past customer letting me know they were unsubscribing from my newsletter because it looked like I only focused on beginner sewing classes.

They told me it was a shame because when they came to me with a sewing problem, I was able to help them understand what was going wrong and how to fix it. And honestly? They were right.

I’ve spent so much time promoting my beginner workshops that I’ve accidentally given the impression that’s all I teach.

The reality is that every week I work with sewists of all levels, from complete beginners to those tackling more complex garments and patterns.

I’m really grateful they took the time to bring this to my attention because it’s made me realise I need to do a better job of sharing that side of my business.

So, if you’re an experienced sewist, I’d love to hear from you. What workshops would you like to see me run this September? (Bonus points if they don’t involve pattern drafting 😅.)

Let me know in the comments!

Come and learn how to sew in my small sewing studio on Brixton Hill. Whether you’ve never used a sewing machine before or you’re looking to build your confidence, I’d love to help you get started.

And if you’ve already caught the sewing bug and have a fabric stash that’s starting to take over, come along to our Fabric Swap. It’s a great way to pass on fabrics you no longer need and discover something new for your next project.

One of my favourite things about holiday club is watching children discover what they’re capable of. Some arrive never having touched a sewing machine before and leave confidently making their own projects just a few days later.

I’m so proud of every child who joined us this week and grateful to all the parents who trust us with their creative little people.

Summer sewing camp dates are now available and we’d love to welcome some new faces (and plenty of familiar ones too).

📍 Brixton Hill, South West London

Yesterday was the final after-school and weekend sewing lesson of the term.

Thank you to all of the children who joined us this term. We’ve made so much progress, learned lots of new skills, and created some brilliant projects along the way.

Enjoy a well-earned half-term break, and I look forward to seeing you all back in the studio soon to finish off your current projects and start some exciting new ones.

Tiny compared to other sewing studios, but honestly the perfect size for me. I always wanted to create a sewing space that feels cosy, calm and familiar — somewhere people feel comfortable to learn, create and take their time.

I’ve also really enjoyed writing articles, filming sewing videos and setting up the WhatsApp group so everyone can keep sewing, ask questions and feel supported between workshops.

And thank you so much to everyone who has already joined the Sewing Hub subscription and supported this new little part of On A Sew. I’m really excited to keep building it with you all.
