I reflected recently on what I have learnt about teaching children a creative skill. If you’re hoping to bring more creativity into your child’s life at home whether through sewing or anything else, here are some things I like to keep in mind in our classes.

CLOTHING CARE👖
Truth be told there is only ever one author and account that I have come across that I think does an excellent and consistent job on this topic.

has endless videos that have taught me so much about taking better care of my clothing (my wool jumpers are very grateful) and she is also the author of Garment Goddess, a book that is always in reach in my home.

Sustainabilty is many things but really learning to take care of what we have is an incredible tool to ensure we buy less and really value what we buy. Also, in my experience, since becoming more confident in how to care for my clothing I’m happier to spend a little more on something because I know I can keep it looking well.

Intro Sewing Workshop (Beginners)
If you’ve always wanted to learn how to sew, this workshop is the perfect place to begin. I have two dates in early 2026 (teen dates to come)
📍 Monkstown – Sat Jan 24th
📍 Mount Merrion – Sun Mar 22nd

In this relaxed, entry-level workshop, you’ll learn how to:
• Set up and thread a sewing machine
• Wind a bobbin + follow a simple pattern
• Sew your own tote bag from recycled canvas (GRS certified ♻️)

We provide everything — good quality fabrics, machines, and all materials — so you can simply arrive and enjoy the process. A coffee + scone break is included.

Leave with new skills, confidence, and something beautiful you made yourself.
