If you're getting into sewing or are looking to expand your skills, you might be looking for a fairy stitch-mother to show you the way! Enter Tilly - your sewing guru, who is here to guide you through techniques, tricks and head-scratching moments.
We have a range of online video workshops that cater for every skill level and can be taken at your own pace with 24/7 access. You can take the classes from the comfort of your own home (PJs are optional), and Tilly will be there to break things down every step of the way, with clear instructions. The courses are split into modules, making it easy to revisit useful sections in later projects.
If you have been given a sewing machine or bought one for yourself, you might be feeling a little scared to get it out of the box (we all know this feeling!). Our Make Friends with a Sewing Machine workshop will help you get your machine up and running and show you how to set it up, thread it, basic stitching skills, and troubleshooting techniques.
If you've got to grips with the basics of your machine and are looking for an easy first project, our Learn to Sew Skirts class could be for you! It will get you comfortable with using patterns, cutting out, hemming, and creating a neat finish. The workshop includes a copy of the Dominique skirt, and you can choose whether you would like a paper or digital copy.
Maybe you have a few projects under your belt and are feeling ready to expand your skills, but would like a little guidance? Why not take our Sew a Knockout Dress workshop, which will help you tackle invisible zips, set-in sleeves with bound armholes, and shape a fitted dress with darts. The workshop includes a digital copy of the Etta dress.
Are you feeling ready to take your sewing to the next level? The Sew Your Own Shirt or Shirt Dress might be the perfect class for you! You'll get comfortable sewing buttonholes, creating a neat pointed collar, and tidy topstitching. The workshop includes a copy of the Rosa shirt or shirt dress, and you can choose whether you would like a paper or digital copy.
If you fancy sewing all the jersey things, you could take our Learn to Sew Jersey Tops class, and end up with a wardrobe FULL of basics. It covers everything from choosing your fabric, handling stretchy jersey fabric, to fitting your garment, and stitching techniques you can master. You can sew the top on your regular home sewing machine, no equipment required.
The workshop includes a copy of the Agnes jersey top, and you can choose whether you would like a paper or digital copy.
We hope to see you in class very soon! xx
