Sewing Lessons

Sewing is easier than you think.

Do you dream of clothing you can never find?... Do you want to alter clothing to fit your body perfectly? Whether you want to learn a new skill or make something from scratch sewing is an empowering form of creativity.

Why book a sewing lesson with me?

I believe everyone is creative

The biggest thing holding us back is often the belief that we're not creative in the first place.

Learning to sew is about having fun with colour, shape and texture to create pieces that truly feel like you. Through my lessons, you'll build the confidence to give things a go & trust your inner creative voice.

Absolutely loved this class! Erica makes sewing and upcycling easy and accessible for beginners. She's so generous with her time, equipment, material and clothes, and supports your vision and creativity. Worth every penny.

Erica was lovely, personable and very understanding of my beginner skills. I've learned various techniques and feel a lot more confident using a sewing machine. Being able to finish a project in one lesson was satisfying, and I can't wait to apply my skills to future work.

Lily C.

The class was great, it provided many opportunities to create personalised garments. Erica was so helpful and had great ideas. She was able to teach new skills to everyone at their level. I walked away with pieces I'd customised and tailored to my own body.
