January: Make a stocking or Santa sack - Introductory price offer

This course will run either on a one-to-one basis or for 2 friends who would like to attend together.
Dates: Friday 8th, 15th and 22nd January 2027

Is it your baby’s first Christmas this year?
Are you looking to make their first Christmas clothes into a keepsake?
In this course, you will turn these clothes into a Christmas sack, creating a special keepsake that you can use year after year.

Over a period of 3 weeks, you will turn these clothes into something brand new. You will learn why interfacing and lots (and lots!) of ironing is so important, and how to ‘lock’ seams together to create a beautiful finish.

What materials are required?

You will need to provide:
1. Either enough clothes for 40 x 6” squares (we can cut multiple squares from the same item of clothing if required - approx 2 squares from baby clothes up to 9-12 months, more for larger items) 
OR 20 x 6” squares for the front and 1m of cotton or polycotton fabric for the back.
2. 1m of cotton, polycotton or cotton poplin fabric for the lining.

I will provide:
The fleece top, tie cord, interfacing, thread and help with the cutting/ironing!

Where is the venue?

This will take place in my home 1.5 miles South of Dorking, with the full address provided after booking. I have a drive you can park on and I will also provide tea, coffee, water/squash, biscuits and a welcoming atmosphere! 

When does this course start?

This course starts on Friday 8th January 2027.

I don’t know how to sew, does this matter?

Not at all! You’re welcome to come along and learn as you go (we will only be using a basic stitch), or you can book onto a 45-60 minute ‘Lesson 0’ at a reduced cost (£30 instead of £40) to learn the basics of how to set up and use a sewing machine. I will email you to book this lesson in, if requested.

I don’t own my own machine, can I hire one?

Yes! You can hire mine for £5 (this covers the full course).

How much does it cost?

Since this course is brand new, I am offering an introductory cost of £150pp to include tuition, instructions, materials/resources and refreshments. This can be paid in full at the time of booking, in 2 instalments of 50%* or you can use Klarna at checkout to pay in 3 instalments (please borrow responsibly and only use this option if it helps you to spread the cost).

* The final 50% is due 2 weeks prior to the course start date and can be made on this listing by selecting the ‘2nd 50%’ checkbox below.

How many spaces are available?

Due to space constraints (these take up a lot of room!) this will initially run as either a one-to-one or for 2 friends who would like to attend together.

I have more questions!
