Teen Summer Sewing Workshop
Make Your First Garment
This is a fun, hands-on two-week sewing workshop designed for teens who want to learn how to use a sewing machine and start making their own clothes from scratch.
Running on two consecutive Tuesdays – 4th & 11th August, 10:30am–12:30pm, this course is perfect for complete beginners or those with very little sewing experience.
Over the two sessions, you’ll be guided step-by-step through the process of creating your very own pair of loose-fitting trousers. You’ll learn how to take a simple existing garment (such as a pair of shorts or trousers you already own) and turn it into your own custom pattern, before cutting and constructing your finished piece.
This workshop is all about creativity and personal style. Whether you want to design a bold, funky patterned pair of trousers, a soft lace-style cover-up, or a relaxed muted linen look for a summer event or something more arty, the choice is completely yours. It’s a chance to design something that reflects your own personality and style.
Who is it for?
This workshop is suitable for ages 12+ and beginners are very welcome.
All under 18s must be accompanied by a supervising adult (18+).
Why not come together with a participating parent, guardian, or friend and create side by side?
No previous experience is needed. If you have your own sewing machine, you’re welcome to bring it along, but we also have studio machines available for use.

Step-by-step tuition in pattern making and machine sewing

This is the perfect introduction to garment making for any young maker who wants to build confidence, learn real sewing skills, and walk away with something they’ve made themselves.
