From your first stitches to those
finishing touches...

I absolutely loved this beginners online sewing course... As a complete beginner I found it to be the perfect introduction to sewing - clear, encouraging and really well-structured. Sarah's calm tone and clear diction made everything easy to follow and her guidance helped me feel confident and excited to keep sewing. Highly recommend.

I had such a great time at The Hemming Bird's in-person sewing courses! I brushed up on my rusty skills, learned new techniques and met some lovely people along the way. The online tutorials were a perfect refresher too - fun, clear, and easy to follow. The teaching was top-notch: knowledgeable, approachable, and super friendly. Highly recommend!

...what I'm trying to say is that Sarah is more than a teacher, she is very personable, warm and she wants you to succeed... She is super clear at explaining sewing techniques... I signed up with little-to-no sewing experience and came away with the confidence and skills to make the curtains that I want in my home and for others too.

I can't recommend The Hemming Bird sewing workshops enough! After completing the piped cushion workshop, I couldn't wait to go back for the piped boxed cushion one - and I wasn't disappointed! Sarah is such a warm, friendly person and her instruction is super clear. For me there was a perfect balance between stretching my knowledge and skill and growing my confidence comfortably.

I cannot recommend Sarah highly enough if you are thinking of doing a course with her. She is a wonderful teacher, patient, innovative, kind and approaches everything with a sense of humour, whilst remaining professional always. I enjoyed all of her classes and I am looking forward to the next time I am learning with her.

As a newbie with no prior experience of sewing, I booked a series of sessions with Sarah to begin my making journey. I was so glad I did: Sarah's high level of expertise combined with her patient and positive approach really helped me get the most from our sessions. Each lesson was tailored to my developing abilities, and I was amazed with how much I managed to achieve. Sarah has the knack of improving her pupils' understanding quickly by breaking down learning into manageable chunks. I thoroughly enjoyed every step and wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Hemming Bird. Thanks Sarah!

I enjoyed my sewing classes with Sarah ... with Sarah's clear instructions and patient guidance, I gained more confidence and created lovely and practical items. Sarah is a wonderful teacher, who is not only highly experienced but also incredibly patient, adjusting the pace to suit my needs. She has a unique way of making even the trickiest techniques feel achievable. She fosters a friendly and relaxed environment, making learning and sewing a pleasure.
