Sewing and upcycling for beginners (in your own home)

Your home – your project – your pace

Sewing lessons for beginners – in the comfort of your own home

Not only is Nicki a teacher with many years of experience teaching all ages, but she is also an accomplished seamstress. Now, she is bringing her unique mix of skills together and helping beginners to discover the joy of sewing.

With a passion for upcycling, recycling and the circular economy, Nicki repurposes as many fabrics as possible in her creations and enjoys nothing more than scouring antique shops for hidden and forgotten treasures to bring back to life.

To make learning to sew accessible to everyone, Nicki will come to your own home and teach you at your own pace. Whether you’d like to make a shopping bag, a make-up bag, a cushion or something to wear, we will tackle your project step by step – success is pretty much guaranteed!

Extra information

If you don’t have a sewing machine, we will provide one for your use during the lesson or Nicki will help you get to grips with any machine you already have.

Help will be given to make sure you have all the right tools and materials to get started on your project and information about where you can source supplies.
