  • Sew Creative

    Location:
    Contact: Kate

    Hi, I’m Kate and I’m the owner of Sew Creative in Altrincham!

    My background is in fashion and, after working in the industry for some time, I then made the decision to train to be a Textiles teacher. I set up Sew Creative in 2016 after being asked several times if I would teach friends and family how to sew and I have been teaching workshops ever since.

    At Sew Creative we run a variety of different lessons for children, teens and adults.  There are also regular school holiday clubs. 

    Why learn to sew with Sew Creative?

    A new approach to sewing and dressmaking classes!

    All of the sessions are ‘free sew’, where each individual is able to choose what they would like to make – instead of everyone making the same item. This gives you the freedom to go at your own pace and make something your would actually use – suitable for both absolute beginners and advanced seamstresses. Classes are also very small, allowing everyone to have as much, or as little, tuition as they require.

    With a friendly and welcoming atmosphere and plenty of tea and biscuits, what’s not to love?!

    How can I book a sewing course?

    Please feel free to use the online booking system on our website, or use the Contact tab to get in touch! Interested in gift vouchers or want to book a party? Just drop us an email and we’ll get back to you asap!
