Do you have all the equipment that I need?

Yes, we have everything that you need but feel free to bring your own machine and equipment.

How big are the class sizes?

We like to keep our classes small so that everyone has enough teacher time. We generally have a maximum of 8. If there are more people wanting to join the class then we will have 2 teachers to make sure everyone still has enough teacher time.

What happens if I need to miss a week?

To get the most out of the class we recommend that you attend every week however we understand that things crop up. We offer one catch up session during our Sewcial class which runs on a Tuesday morning or a Thursday evening fortnightly.

WilI I get to keep the pattern?

You will be provided with the pattern and we will also email you a pdf version.

Really enjoyed my Make an illford Jacket class! This 5 week project provided a nice and easygoing environment in which to learn new sewing techniques and tricks to take back home. Loved the atmosphere and felt at ease despite my limited sewing skills.
