Our hugely popular Children’s Holiday Sewing Classes are held in the school holidays daily from 10am-4pm (following Bradford term dates) and are perfect for creative children wanting to learn to sew or improve their sewing skills.
With no more than ten students in a class and Leonie plus a student helper on hand the children are guaranteed lots of expert tuition while they get crafty making, bunting, bags, cushion covers, seasonal decorations and much much more!
The class is for children aged between 8- 16 years old and they don’t need to have any previous sewing experience. We’ll provide all the equipment and materials, all you need to do is bring a packed lunch and bucket loads of energy and enthusiasm!

Young Designer’s Sewing Club run on Tuesdays and Wednesdays after school. The classes are designed to give Year 6’s and secondary school aged students time and space outside school and home to develop their sewing skills and build their confidence in a calm, creative and nurturing environment.
