Hi, does anyone know of a good sewing class / teacher in Sheffield? I have tried the Sheffield College but didn't find that very helpful. I have done some sewing before, but never learnt it properly, would like to learn different stitches and how to sew my own clothes. The courses I have seen advertised so far all take place during the day which is no good to me. Any recommendations would be much appreciated.

I go to pottery classes in Doncaster at Hayfield School and Im almost positive they do evening classes in sewing. I know its a fair way to go but if you are struggling in sheffield :)

When you say 'different stitches', are you interested in the decorative aspects of sewing, for example machine embroidery? There are several excellent City & Guilds distance learning courses if so, which I can point you in the direction of.

I haven't investigated courses for sewing clothes, but I'll have a look around for you, if you're interested. The City and Guilds courses are particularly useful as they're modular and you can generally work at them at your own pace.

This course is run in the evening at hillsborough college (http://my.sheffcol.ac.uk/index.cfm?PID=3732A3CA-D3DA-4F34-B378-51818C41A6FF&cmd=Course&Course=HEXCM1C)

I know a place where they teach only women how to sew. I will post more details 2moro!

It is around london rd i think

Thanks for your replies, I would be interested in the women only course, Chuckle, it would be great if you could give me more details. I think in general I prefer courses with a teacher in a group rather than distant learning.

Saint Mary's Church; Bramall Lane

Tuesday's

10:00 to 13:00

There will be a teacher there!

Hi Chuckle, thanks for info, it's a shame it's daytime. That's quite often the trouble with courses, hm.
Hi Hecate, different stitches etc, what I mean is things like hems, ie. how to deal with different materials like shorten sleaves of t-shirts, I have just got this impression that there is much more to sewing than what I know so far, and I am just no good at sitting down on my own with a book or so...
Somebody recommended that fabric shop in H'boro, so next time I get there I will enquire.

I have seen a poster for someone in Handsworth running workshops.. If interested PM me and I will see if I can still see the poster for you :)

Yes they're called Sew In The City and are based in Handsworth. They do beginners classes, project classes and you can hire their machines / space there if you have a bit more sewing knowledge. Just what we need in Sheffield - will be booking myself on a course soon!

Hi,
I am the owner of 'make at green view' and run various sewing workshops/classes for adults and children in Holmfirth, West Yorkshire. Please take a look at my blog for more details and dates of courses.

Holmfirth is a short distance from Sheffield and the classes are small and very friendly. I am a qualified teacher and design courses that teach you real sewing skills.

I am able to do bespoke classes and offer discounts if you bring a friend.

Many thanks
