The Sewcial – Casual Sewing and Mending Meetup

They are a very helpful and friendly people also there to help you with your project.

Love these sewing sessions. I always get so much help from Jaimie and Tracey and all my fellow sewers. What would I do without them? A lovely atmosphere and venue to gradually empty a mending box that has been growing for years.

Had a useful and productive time. Jamie was very helpful and showed a number of us how to do button holes.

I highly recommend sharing a session sewing, chatting and making new friends!

I attended sewsical as paying customer and was threatened to be hit by some of their community non paying people because i accidentially slightly touched her bun which was sticking and blocking a small space to my seat. The tutor heard it and denied it and it was put down to my 'perception'. It is sold as community event but i have been there a few years and never seen any paying customer return there except me as a mug. It is not a community event it is a place where some people go for free and others pay. There is no chatter. There are too many crammed into the space. there are some brilliant free to all places to go to with actual community feel. Have no problem paying but not for that. Avoid.

Fabulous. I loved it!

Great place to learn, and be creative. Lovely friendly staff 😊

Just great, guidance and resources and catering to all levels.

Best way to spend an morning: sewing and making new friends!

I enjoyed the class the teachers are very informative and everyone in the very friendly.

great

Another great morning at the Make Mee Studio! Thank you for creating such a warm, welcoming happy space for all to pursue their sewing and crafting passion. Great facilities and excellent teacher. Can't wait to sign up for the next one!

Very therapeutic session.

I love working in a project and sharing experiences with fellow sewers and instructor!

Great atmosphere and teachers :)

Like it very relaxed and I am able to explore my ideas.

I enjoy attending the classes. The staff ere excellent and on hand to help.

Lovely atmosphere, helpful teacher, fully equipped, a nice bit of sewing bliss for a Thursday evening.

I'm so pleased I found this little gem. Lots of help is offered and I've met some lovely people. I've only been a couple of times but have learnt so much and managed to alter a dress, make a drawstring bag and finally got to use an electric sewing machine. Watch out 'Sewing Bee' programme , you might have a new contestant next season!

I rediscovered my love for sewing at Make Me Studio!

This newbie found this group, randomly popped up on my Facebook feed and was curious. As I am local thought why not pop along to see they use the library. I am so glad I did. Each person has their own machine, layout considering it's in the library was surprisingly really good. Tutor was on hand to offer support, advice with a volunteer on hand to help. As the advert says you work at your pace. First impression very encouraging, so much so booked to attend the following week session before I left with my task of "SEW IT" just about to start, only one issue i'm double booked :(. This newbie is encouraged that I will achieve my goal. Thank you everyone for making me feel so welcomed. Back to the homework. Only given 3 stars as I wasn't their long but I have a feeling this be upgraded next week if I can make it.

Well equiped studio with plenty of natural light. Knowlegeable staff ready to give you a hand. Handy for the bus and train. Friendly sewers. You can purchase materials too! What's not to love! For me it's a chance to dedicate some time to sewing and have a chat with other creative souls.

The sewcial is a wonderful space! Everyone is incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful! I will be back as much as I can! Its a great way to spend an evening :)

I had a great time in the studio: I learnt, made friends and a dress!

Love the vibe of the group and the tutor is always so welcoming and encouraging. Had a great time as always

I recently learnt to use a sewing machine, but am not yet confident enough to go it alone. The Sewcial is absolutely brilliant. They have everything you need (machines, tools, fabrics, threads, etc) and there are a couple of staff members to chat with, discuss ideas and, crucially for me, help with problems with using the machine or working out how to do something. I WILL master zips!!! 😂 Couldn’t recommend Make Me Studio more highly. I’m hooked!

It was my first session and it was a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere with everyone working at their own pace and you were able to ask for help or advice if needed. Once I remembered how to use a sewing machine, the two hours flew by!

I am so grateful to have found Make Mee Studio! I am loving learning and enjoying the camaraderie when I go there. Thanks!

I have been to the Sewcial twice not and it's great! It's a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere and I received so much help with my projects. In 2 session I managed to alter 2 dresses to make them fit better and they look really nice now. Thank you for all the help!

I loved my experience in the studio - such a nice space to work in and lovely folk to talk about sewing with!

Another great morning of theraputic creativity, away from the busyness of life! Love it! Thank you for such a provision

Great place to learn and do sewing!

Love the atmosphere! Calm, peaceful, a haven away from the hustle and bustle of life where everyone works at their own place, with lots of help when needed. Love it!

I had a wonderful time attending my first sewcial and look forward to attending many more. It's the perfect place to gain confidence in your sewing style, while being encouraged by other attendees and teachers.

Absolutely lovely set up, really helpful guidance from Kate. I was grateful to have someone to help me remember the basics while I altered some trousers I shrank!

Just done my third visit to sewcial. Lovely relaxed atmosphere. I get so much done when I come!

Brilliant as always! I arrived with a bag full of fabric and some loose ideas. I was given support, advice and a pattern . Lovely atmosphere , supportive and encouraging - thanks x

What a lovely place to learn to sew! The teachers are friendly and helpful. A great way to spend a Thursday evening.

Really helpful and chilled sewing social.

Love this place! Friendly intrustors/ fellow sewers . I got plenty of help with my various projects from the very knowledgeable tutors. I always look forward to go to the next sewcial. Highly recommended sewing school/place.

Very helpful and understanding staff, so glad that I was given the opportunity to come to these sessions. It helps my family so much and my passion and skills for sewing are on the uprise.

Loved the session and will attend again. It was lovely meeting everyone and teachers and volunteers were great

I turned up not even knowing how to unpick a stitch and left having had a go on a sewing machine! Amazingly helpful staff there, massively patient with my total incompetance, 100% going back! Their knowledge is amazing, so much more to learn. Thanks guys!

Spent a great 2 hours with other sewists at the Sewcial. Was helped by the lovely tutor & assistant to pin 2 shirts, and they gave advice and demo to make the alterations for a better fit. I learned some new things, had a nice time, in a pleasant atmosphere with others working on their sewing projects.

A friendly and welcoming space to sew with excellent advice on hand when needed

Friendly atmosphere with great help in hand.

This Sewcial session was wonderful - I thoroughly enjoyed it. Annie was wonderful - really supportive.

I love being able to go along to these classes, especially as its on my doorstep and I can walk within 10 minutes. It helps with my well-being and the feeling of isolation. I love sewing although I am far from being an expert but I am learning with the patience and expertise of Jamiee and Annie. Its also lovely to meet new people who attend the class. Thank you. Janet

Friendly welcome and lovely supportive atmosphere

Lots of informative teaching and progress with Josh

fantastic event ! i'll certainly be going back, josh was extremely friendly and very helpful (:

Friendly sewing group and space right next to Crofton Park station. Great if you need two hours with a sewing machine to focus on a project

I love to sew and I love to chat too! Sewcial at make mee studio provides a great space to start a new project or finally finish that UFO, all in the company of other likeminded creatives and great facilitaters who help and guide you with your chosen project when needed.

I found it a useful session. People with a common interest are there to complete their own work in progress. Advice is constructive and resources are available.

Sorry not been around for awhile but hopefully will be back soon!!

I am sp glad I found this! I love the atmosphere and Jaime and Josh are really welcoming and always help when I need some advice.

I took the two week course on creating a trouser toile and thoroughly recommend it - it's a really friendly atmosphere, the studio is well stocked and Josh is a great teacher.

Helpful and creative, make mee helped me with ideas and execution of a design for a bag for my business. They have so many nifty gadgets and an abundance of materials and knowledge! Huge recommend

I really enjoy the atmosphere, and the support!

The person leading the sewcial is helpful and encouraging. A variety of machines is available including an overlocker, iron and large iron board, lots of coloured thread and sewing accessories. People are friendly and make an effort to make it social by having small conversations while working on their individual projects. I look forward to going again. My only recommendation would be that the tables and some equipment could do with cleaning before the sessions start.

The fact that I keep going back is proof of how much I enjoy attending. Its been a positive experience meeting people who love to sew, getting great support and advice and just having the chance to talk and share.

brilliant!!!!!

Great evening!!

It was just what I've been looking for! I was able to start using up my stash! The sewing assistants are really helpful. I'm so looking forward to the next session!

I was a bit too daunted to start a sewing project – making a tunic for my partner – and the Sewcial was just what I needed to get it going. I booked a second one as I needed some encouragement with my new overlocker, and now the tunic is finished and has been proudly worn!

I throughly enjoyed my first Tuesday morning session. Thank you Annie for your guidance and knowledge with my fiddly projects that have been sitting at home waiting to be sorted. Although I'm an ametuer I have forgotten how much I love the sound of the sewing machine. I'm looking forward to my next session. Thank you.

Very good really enjoyed

I was so fortunate to attend a “sewcial” event while in London. Everyone was friendly and I had a great time.

My experience with Make Me Studios was amazing! Annie (the instructor) was so kind and knowledgeable. She helped me with my project and gave great suggestions! I was a bit nervous as it was my first time coming and I am not too confident in my sewing, however everyone was extremely welcoming. I will definitely be back!!

This was my first time at an evening. Everyone was welcoming and friendly, and Josh was supportive with advice. I enjoyed the evening and plan to go again.

Awesome ! Just what I’ve been looking for - our teacherJosh was super helpful, informative & all round pleasant - free parking right outside - a hidden gem. Will most definitely be back

Georgia did a great job of helping me to sow the ilford jacket which was a bit beyond my skill level. She was really patient and friendly. I would highly recommend this course and Georgia.

Loved sewing with other people! Its much more fun! And for a beginner like me its great to have Jaimie at hand for problem-solving and advice!

I completed a tricky alteration that I had been putting off for years. The sewing teacher Josh, was extremely patient showing me how to do darts, and advising on how to get a good fit. Also the equipment was so much better than what I have at home. I was delighted to leave the session with a wearable dress. I would definitely recommend Make Mee Studio for anyone wanting to have a go at dress making.

I loved it I enjoyed my first time and the young lady Jamie was very friendly and very helpful I'm definitely going back next time

Good experience and friendly I want continue

Very productive, lovely teacher and students. Hope to join again in the near future!

I had a fantastic time as always, I will be attending more sessions and classes.

Great class, as always! Very friendly, helpful, attentive staff. And good to be amongst other sewers. Really nice vibe in the class. Thoroughly recommend!

Lovely atmosphere and helpful tips ☺️

These sessions are incredible value for money. £10 for access to the Make Mee studio equipment is already great, but the real bonus is the Make Mee teachers on hand if you have any questions and offer tips and tricks. Jaime is so helpful and really makes sewing fun (great for those who had the fun drummed out at school!) - I wouldn't be able to machine sew at all without her! Also a nice airy well ventilated space perfect for covid times, and the team wear masks so everyone feels safe to sew. It's also so nice to see other visitors' projects progress every week and learn from what other people are doing. Highly recommend, it's a miracle they aren't sold out every week!

I enjoyed the session. I felt motivated working along side the other sewers.

Very friendly atmosphere. Instructors always willing to help if you are stuck on the project you are working on. Good place to meet new people too.

I had a great time and learnt a lot on the course learning to sew basic casuals. There was a really friendly atmosphere and the tutors were full of knowledge, tips and tricks of the trade. The class size meant that everybody got the help when they needed it. The studio is well stocked with everything you could possibly needed to create amazing clothes. So happy I did the course and will definitely be signing up for more.

Friendly and relaxed group sewing in a well-equipped studio. I'll be back!

Always great fun. Learn some really useful tips.

Always enjoy these classes.

Loved the Sewcial! So good to be among like minded people and exchanging ideas. It was also good to be amongst people. Having support from Jaime on my sewing projects as and when I needed it means that I can actually make progress and finish things! Looking forward to the next class! :)

Super session with lots of useful advice on the project I brought along, and stop me from messing up something I thought I'd mastered but wasn't quite confident about. You can either bring along everything you need and make use of the fact there's plenty of space to work, or borrow equipment from the Make Mee studio. Although this isn't a taught class, it's fine to ask questions and check with them about stuff. The really friendly sewing instructors also always have clever fixes and ways to save on fabrics or to make better use of those I've brought along.

Good fun at the Sewcial session, very helpful being able to use the sewing machines and meet other people working on their own different projects.
