25th May | Sewcial Sewing | Thursday – £12 per session

Coming up on Thursday 11th May (twice monthly)

Come and learn to sew / improve your sewing skills in my Thursday evening lessons. My lessons are relaxed and you work at your own pace. All levels of sewing are covered and as yet, I have not come across a technique I am unable to teach. There will be plenty of laughter and chatter involved, so please bring a sense of humour.

Lessons are twice a month on a Thursday, 6:30pm to 9pm, in the cafe at The Hub, @thehubcommunitycafe ( Penistone Leisure Centre ). Bring yourself a mug, as there is free tea, coffee and biscuits. The Leisure Centre has plenty of free off-road parking available.

Lessons are £12.00 per session

I will bring my haberdashery stall with me for those much needed essentials, however if there is something you are interested in (that is for sale on my website), then email or text me before 3pm on Thursday and I will bring it along.

If you don’t have a sewing machine, then I have machines available and these are £2.00 per machine for the evening and have to be pre-booked. Go to:
