Studio+
Sewing garments to last takes time and skill. Set aside some time to sew with expert guidance, alongside people who get it.
Bring whatever you're working on. Half finished, barely started, or stuck on one step, it doesn't matter. Sometimes the hardest part is just setting aside the time, so come for that alone if you need to. We're there for the whole session to help however you need it, and you'll be sewing alongside other people doing the same thing.
Skygarden Sewing Club
Bring your project. Find your people.
The Skygarden Sewing Club is a space to connect with others through sewing. Bring your sewing project and spend a few hours with like minded sewing enthusiasts. Support each other and work on something ongoing, plan your next project, or just connect, do as much or as little as you like.
Project Class: Scraps Pouf
A sustainable way to use up your fabric scraps: fill a floor pouf.
Over two sessions, you'll create a fabric floor pouf. This project is constructed from multiple pieced fabrics, so it's suitable for smaller fabric pieces and offcuts. A great way to use fabric scraps to create something functional and lasting.
Garment Class: Clo Bias Skirt
Want to tackle a bias cut? Make this classic, versatile skirt by Soften Studio.
Over two sessions, you'll cut and sew the Clo Bias Skirt, an A-line shape with an elasticated, drawstring waist. Choose full or midi length. Best in a lightweight fabric with drape, linen or cotton lawn work well.
Project Class: Silk Lavender Eye Mask
Dip your toes into sewing with this all inclusive session to make a refined silk eye mask.
A come-and-try session for anyone who's never touched a sewing machine before. You'll make a silk eye mask, filled with rice and lavender, ready to use warm or cold, a quality project you can use for years. Connect with your creativity through making something meaningful. A lovely one to book with a friend or a small group.
Get Threaded
Want to learn to use a sewing machine? Start here.
Over two weeks, you'll learn to use a sewing machine, starting from the very beginning: threading it, winding a bobbin, stitching, checking tension, securing seams, and much more. By the end, you'll have completed two functional sewing projects and be ready to move onto making your first garment.
Garment Class: Parker Pants (Barrel Leg)
Want to make your own pants? Sew the Parker Pants by BF Patterns, a relaxed barrel style pant.
Over two sessions, you'll sew a pair of Parker Pants with an elastic waist, deep front scoop pockets, and back patch pockets. Feeling confident? Add in a cargo pocket for a different look.
Get Sewing
Want to make your first garment, or get back into it? This is the class.
If you're ready to make your first garment, already know the basics, or want to return to sewing after a break, this is the class for you. Designed as the progression from Get Threaded, and designed to get you excited about garment sewing. We'll start with a warm up project to get us stitching, then choose between either a top or bottoms, the Trigg Shorts by Elbe Textiles, or the Craft Studio Tee by Matchy Matchy Sewing Club.
