FAQs
WHAT IS THE STRUCTURE OF THE CLASS?
This class takes place across one day, between 10.00 to 17.00 with an hour for lunch.
We will start the class by taking each others measurements.
Each student will then take their measurements and start work on their own toile. Everyone will be working at their own pace.
Once the block is made seam allowance will be added and the toile made.
WILL I HAVE THE PERFECT FITTING TOILE BY THE END OF THE CLASS?
You will leave this class with one completed toile but it can take several attempts to create one that fits perfectly. This class will equip you with the skills needed to continue tweaking and adjusting your pattern at home to get the fit perfect.
In case you need further assistance in the future, you’re welcome to join our monthly Sewing Surgery to receive individual advice and guidance from our experienced teachers.

This was for a day and was very good and learnt lots and came away with a trouser toile which fitted really well.
Would highly recommend this.

Very intense yet enjoyable experience

I really enjoyed this session and very happy with my toile. It is a lot to fit in in one day so I was lucky enough that I didn't need many refinements but I was amazed how much was covered in a day.
It's just a shame you can sit in to have your own lunch.
Will be back soon

Unfortunately I left feeling extremely disappointed. I did not get to make the pattern or the bodice which would fit me. The teacher did not show me how to finish the pattern or the bodice and just left me leave without any effort to give me a chance to at least finish the item at home by providing advice or written instructions. I felt the instructions giving was poorly managed and the class was too big, there was not enough time or enough teachers considering the attention each student required for quite a complex project. Utterly disappointing, shame.

Jamie was so helpful throughout the day, and I really enjoyed the course. The group was a good size of 4 people. We measured ourselves to make a bodice block which we then sewed up and tweaked as necessary. It's such a good course to do to advance my dress-making skills. Thanks very much to Jamie and Tracey!

I learned that sewing is something that’s fun, and I can do it. Great confidence builder and a wonderful group of women to lean with and two fantastic and very accomplished and informative teachers, with a wealth of experience between them. They are also extremely patient and no question is silly. The studio is really well designed and equipped with all the relevant sewing machines needed to complete any sewing task. Everything is to hand and it has a wonderful vibe . I love going there and there is always some new and interesting class to attend. I also love the fact that you can do one day of sewing and come away with a completed item. They are the go to people and I have had many sewing questions answered . It’s very reasonable priced and the classes are some so you can always get attention and it is a fun day out.

I really enjoyed the relaxed informality of the session. Was really happy to leave with my toile knowing it was going to help me get the right fit when sewing in future. Would recommend others to attend the workshops to learn or improve on skills. Good value for money 👍

I had a great time doing my bodice with the help of Jaime. The location of the studio is absolutely lovely and relaxing, you feel like you are at home and the hostesses are just genuinly nice and friendly. The advices I got were great and I will be looking forward to go again to make my first garment in a long time with their support.
