✦ How the Course is Structured
The one-week gap between the two sessions is intentional. It gives you time to reflect on what you learned in the first session and build confidence before completing your project in the second. This unhurried, pressure-free pace is what makes our beginner sewing workshop in Edinburgh different.
Class sizes are limited to a maximum of 7 learners to ensure every participant receives sufficient hands-on guidance and personal attention. Whether this is your first sewing class in Edinburgh or you’re returning after years away, you will be supported at every stage.
