Get to know your sewing machine at our sewing machine masterclass 
A complete introduction to sewing on a machine. 
We will cover threading, overview of stitches, and basic maintenance. 
There will be lots of time for you to practice and build your confidence before we start our project to make a tote bag. 
Walk away with an envelope cushion and lots of inspiration to use your new skills!

All materials are included in this 3hr workshop, and small group sizes mean you get loads of personal tuition.

Our Sewing Machine Masterclass is run in group workshops, available on a variety of dates and times. 

If you cannot attend the upcoming available dates we have a 'Private' booking option. This is a little misleading! It used to be called a 'flexitime' option and in essence means that if you have a group of 2-7 people you can book a private session at a time to suit you. 

If you would prefer a private session we do also have a 'Private Sewing Class' workshop available which is an individual private lesson and costs £60 for 2hrs.

Sewing Machine Masterclass

I attended an Begineer's class and how to use my sewing machine.It  was great expereince and got exactly what I wanted to learn from this class and feel more confident with my sewing machine.  The teacher was absoluately fantastic to say the least, extremely informative, patient, friendly and made you feel at ease.A lovely  bright and comfortable  venue.

Rachel was such a great teacher, she went through every detail step by step. so it never felt overwhelming. By the end of the session I was surprised at how confident I felt with a sewing machine and  my sewing skills were surprisingly not too bad. I highly recommend this course and will be signing up for more lessons at Craft My Day. 5 stars!

Fantastic class! I definitely recommend the class for beginners. Thank you Rachel :)

Great workshop to start with sewing machine and see if you actually like it ! 
At the end of the class you get your DIY tote bag and the basics of how the see it machine works ! 
Highly recommend this class with the lovely Rachel ! Easily accessible with the train.

I was so grateful that I was able to take my own machine in to learn on. Extremely accommodating and friendly workshops. I would definitely recommend them. I'm planning my next one already.

Samantha Macher

An overall very enjoyable experience. The time seemed to wiz by. Learnt about threading a sewing machine, practised all the differenct stitches, sewing in straight lines and how to easily sew a perfect curve. Ended the class making a handy tote bag. Can’t wait to book another class.

Fun and very easy to follow. The instructor explained the basics thoroughly and was incredibly patient while we fumbled around! 

Very good class for those looking to get to know their machines and learn the fundamentals

Great fun, very friendly and relaxing. Rachel teaches you to enjoy things and trust the machine. Feel much more confident about using the sewing machine now, and excited about taking more classes in the future.

Tunde Adebayo 

I found the class really interesting. Rachel the teacher explained every step very clearly so it was easy to follow. It certainly boosted my confidence with sewing and left me wanting to learn more. I would highly recommend this course to any beginner in sewing. Thank you Rachel😊

Juliet Campbell

Really excellent workshop.  Rachel makes learning fun and I never feel I must  know and do it all correctly the first time.  I highly recommend her workshop.

Melissa Bruford

A great class for a complete novice to sewing.
Rachel’s instructions were clear and easy to follow and by the end of 3 hours I had actually made something! Very excited to try out my new found skills and I will certainly be booking on for more courses. 

Barb Dawson

Absolutely great class.  I cannot recommend it enough. Rachael is a great teacher. Warm and friendly.

Georgia Parker

Great class. Rachel is a fantastic teacher :)

Claire Bentley

Great little class to get to know your way around a sewing machine. Thank you 

Janaina Crane

Thoroughly enjoyed the course. It was my first time using a sewing  machine and I have managed to come back home with a tote bag made by me 

Jenny Yip

I  never touch or use a sewing machine, so I am a complete beginner to learn how to use one and certainly did not expect to come away with a bag made by myself at the end of the 3 hours lesson ! I thoroughly enjoyed the practical lesson demonstrated and the interaction with the teacher is most valueable in grasping the concept of sewing and produced an item in such a short time at the end ! Amazing ! Thank you very much .

Emma ODonnell

Great - I’d never touched a sewing machine before my lesson and left 3 hours later having made my very own tote bag! Sarah-Jane was a great teacher. I’ll definitely book on to other classes to learn how to make cushions, make up bags etc. Highly recommend!  

GRAHAM CRONEY

A very intense but enjoyable 3 hours. Excellent tutor who made everyone feel relaxed and encouraged self-confidence. I had never touched a sewing machine before and was therefore amazed at how professional my tote bag looked.

Ivana Bungard

Had a great time and definitely coming back for more. 

Really enjoyed the class, learned a lot about the how the  machine works and the setting up of the machine. Was happy that we had time to make a bag in the time allowed. 
Nice environment to be in, differing levels of skill among the participants, not all beginners. 

Joanne Logan

What an amazing place! Although I do have some experience of using sewing machines I found your class really helpfull seeing mistakes I had been making for a long time. Lovely friendly lady running the class. Such an enjoyable Saturday morning. I will definately be back for more classes!

Lucy Penney

Over all an enjoyable and productive experience, guided by a very patient, articulate and knowledgeable teacher.

TRACY KENNEDY

It was really good class and relaxed atmosphere. 
Sarah is a good teacher and has lots of patience. Thanks Sarah. 

Katy Penfold

Such a lovely day. Teacher was so nice and helpful (I'm sorry, I can't remember her name!). Learnt so much about how to use a sewing machine and made a tote bag with our new skills. Would 100% recommend to anything thinking about taking this class. 

Felix Jaeger

Had a great time on the sewing course with Janice. She was very kind and patient with us. Came away with some nice tote bags and a new skill!

Julia  Antoniades 

Great class, loved it, learnt so much. Great atmosphere and teacher

Aurielia Sewell

I signed up to this class as It was a long time since I used a sewing machine and wanted to start sewing again.  I felt a bit apprehensive at first  l but I need not have worried as Janice put us all at ease and was very helpful if we were stuck at any point.  

We practiced on paper that had patterns such as hearts, and mazes  so that we could become familiar with the sewing machine. We went onto practising on pieces of material before finally taking the plunge to make a tote bag.   Janice guided us through each stage of the process and before  we knew it we had all completed our bags!  I was very proud of what I achieved and know I can go back and start using my sewing machine which has been  sitting at home doing nothing.    

I would highly recommend this class to anyone who is thinking of taking up machine sewing  for the first time or even if they have not done any sewing for a while. 

Donna Lovegrove

Totally recommend this course lovely atmosphere fantastic tutor will be looking out for other courses!

Elvira Alibegic

My daughter and I had a great time at sewing Sat session at Worcester Park branch of Craft my day. Really friendly and helpful place. Small group of 4 and my course was beneficial as a refresher, as well as for the beginners. We walked out with a finished project as planned, tote bag sewn by us! Thanks

Elizabeth Larkum

Great introduction to sewing with a machine. Lovely teacher, nice group of people.

Linda Lancaster

Such a lovely class with Sarah Jane. She explained and demonstrated everything about the sewing machine and the tote bag we made really well. I have been inspired to sew more on the machine I have inherited as I now have the confidence to give it a go following this class. Thank you 

Monia  f.althani

I really enjoyed the class and Sarah was excellent in the way I taught, and I also enjoyed the company of the participants in the program. I would like to thank Sarah very much for her kindness and excellent teaching method،she really excited my expectations:)Monia

Great help now understand my new sewing machine better. Anna is always very patient.

Daniel Vandenburg

teacher ws very kind and patient and knew her stuff. Only downside for me was we didnt cover machine maintenance which the course blurb online said we would

Clare Barlex

I took two of my (young adult) kids to this and I wasn't sure what to expect. It turned out to be an excellent three hours; Rachel is a brilliant, friendly teacher, we learned a lot and enjoyed it.  We'll be coming back - thank you.

Claire Luo

Love the sewing class, learnt a lot and had a great time!

Chriss Goodey

Loved it ! What a great way to spend an afternoon. It was so relaxed sitting and going through my sewing machine’s and my capabilities with Rachel. She is a wonderful teacher. She’s given me confidence and inspiration to try out a pattern for the first time ever. I will definitely be back to CraftMyDay for some more classes. Would highly recommend if you are thinking of doing a class for the first time. 

Debora menezes

It was my first master class learning the basics how to use a sewing machine. I had a great time,Janice is a lovely lady who gave us lots of attention. I’ll definitely book a follow up class at the studio.☺️

Danielle Johnally

Our teacher was lovely and created an environment that was warm and informative.

Tracey Hoad

My sewing machine has been in a cupboard forever and Rachel helped me bring it back to life! I left the class feeling much better acquainted with my machine and inspired to use it again. Thank you so much Rachel! 

Heather Ravenberg Smith

I bought my sewing machine over two years ago as I wanted to make some Christmas bunting, but all it did was sit in the closet. I finally decided that enough was enough and signed up for this workshop, and I am so glad I did!  It was exactly what I needed to get moving.
The workshop was so well paced, and Janice did a great job of guiding us along. It's perfect for anyone who wants to crack on with some sewing but is too nervous about it to get started. I left the studio full of energy and confidence, and the bunting is (at long last) nearly finished!

Perry  Jax 

We had a fantastic time! We found the day really informative and it was so great to learn a new skill! The teacher was patient and extremely helpful! Highly recommend!

Alessia Pontone 

I loved it! I was struggling for some time with my sewing machine but I learned a lot in this class and feel confident using my machine now

Lynnettte Rowley

I enjoyed my sewing class and was made to feel very comfortable.  In fact, I have dusted down my old machine that has been in the shed for 15 years!.  Thank you

Macey Baker

This was a great intro to sewing machines, learned a lot and our instructor was so lovely!

Katrina Fox

We had a wonderful time. We left feeling inspired and bursting with creativity. 

We were a small class of 3 people of completely differing abilities but Sarah managed all of us and our questions really well.

Would recommend, and we want to come back! 

Caroline Knight

Sewing machine masterclass (I think previously known as intro to sewing machine?) was a fantastic day. We all enjoyed ourselves. A demonstration, chance to practice on passport and fabric, and then the opportunity to make our own bag. Everyone had a great day and I love my bag! Thanks so much.

Laurence Hillion

I had a great experience with Janice, learning about my sewing machine and making a tote bag. The session went so quickly and I would repeat the experience again. Except that I may not have been a beginner as much as I thought (having made myself a dish carrier prior to coming). At least, I learned something about myself, lol... Highly recommend the experience ☆☆☆☆☆

Babetta Mann

I absolutely loved this class. Sarah is such a great teacher. You can tell she loves sewing and enjoys passing knowledge onto others. I picked up useful tips about my sewing machine and through making a bag, also learnt some new basic skills that will help me sew at home. I actually plan to book another session as Sarah was so helpful. Highly recommend! 

Andrea Stokes

I really enjoyed this fun, relaxed class and picked up so many helpful tips. Although I had used a sewing machine before it was so helpful to cover the basics and benefit from Rachel’s wisdom. I came away feeling much more confident. Loved it and will be back for more!

Julie  Freshwater 

Yeah was a fantastic teacher. Having not used a machine for over 20 years she has given me the confidence to start using my machine again. Lots of really helpful advice, I would definitely recommend this class and will be booking another soon.

Sara Cobbett

Lea was brilliant! 
I was a little nervous having not used my machine for over 15 years! She was extremely patient but also encouraged me to attempt the more advanced tote bag (matching straps) . 
She helped me to understand the machine better - so I can hopefully correct when things go wrong! 
Thanks so much x

Karen Insch

I loved the class Leigh was very patient and supportive. Think we could have done with a little more time, but really enjoyed it. I'm going to book some 121 lessons as want to progress to making a dress as I work full time could only come at weekends If that's possible Thank you Karen x

Julie Wheeler

Such a treat a one to one lesson. Thank you Lee, lots of tips and knowledge of the sewing machine. A really enjoyable morning.

Tiffany was fantastic, we had no previous mosaic experience, she made it easy and fun. We were delighted with our tiles.  Everything was supplied, the room is nice and bright. A great afternoon.

I loved the mosaic class. Tiffany was an informative and enthusiastic instructor and I loved learning a new technique. I went home feeling very proud of my creation!😊
Craft My Day is a fab little studio and there are so many wonderful courses to try.

What a fantastic experience cannot rate this highly enough.Went with my partner to a lovely studio where we met a great group of people and under the expert tuition of Tiffany we all came away with a beautiful mosaic piece x Tea coffee and biscuits flowed throughout and the choice of pieces to make was great

Louise Roberts

How to mosaic. The teacher was well informed & there were lots of good resources. It might have helped to have an advance email about what we were doing so I could prepare a design - we completed a lot but time was tight. The venue was nice but could have been more spacious

Katie McPhee

The mosaic class was really excellent. Tiffany was a very patient and knowledgeable teacher. She provided lots of options and seeing examples of completed work was really helpful. The equipment and resources provided were brilliant, we were really spoilt for choice!! I would definitely recommend this class.

Thoroughly enjoyed this absorbing workshop and feel inspired to continue at home. Thank you to Tiffany for a very informative class.

What a fun morning with a lot of shapes and a wide variety of mosaics and clear and careful instruction. Loved it!

Sarah Tullett

I had always wanted to do mosaic and this was  a brilliant introduction and very empowering. Everything was provided without restriction (I was also encouraged to take some tiles, etc home so I could finish) and venue good.
Tiffany was a great tutor, very helpful and encouraging.
A very positive experience.
Power text next I think.

Lindsey Dean

What a great way to get an introduction to a potential new hobby.  Tiffany was very clear and helpful with the instructions in a fun and safe atmosphere. If you are looking to pick up a new hobby this is the place to start I for one am hooked on mosaics. Loved it!!!

Mosaic Workshop

Michelle Cross

I really enjoyed this workshop. It was a great introduction to mosaic making and I will try doing other pieces now.

Liz Walton

Had the best time. 
Loved it. Could have happily stayed all day. 
Tiffany was lovely. She helped and advised when needed, but at the same time let us get lost in our creations. 
Thank you again.  X 

Munavara Saleem

All four of us had a fantastic time at the mosaic class.  It was relaxed and comfortable with drinks and snacks provided.  Completely suitable for beginners too.

Always wanted to do mosaic, and this was a wonderful way to get started, had brilliant time.  Instructions were clear and easy to follow, and help was always on hand.   Thank you very much    

karen Murray

The tutor showed us lots of lovely examples of her work, there was plenty of choice on what to do in the class.  I did a butterfly.  She explained things very well and what a selection of bits to decorate with.
Class could hve done with being slightly longer as i just finished on time but 2 of the other ladies didn't.  perhaps another 1/2hour
All in all a great morning

First did in September, and wasn't disappointed with 2nd workshop, had another brilliant time.  Instructions were clear and easy to follow, and help was always on hand. Thank you very much

Joanne Tresidder

Throughly enjoyable introduction to mosaic. Knowledgeable and helpful teacher with great creative ideas. 

Carol  

Really friendly class, had great time. Tina really helpful and supportive.  Can't wait to do more.  Thank you  

Mike 

Very enjoyable time.  Well organised and enthusiastic teaching of the craft.  Everyonebobviously enjoyed the course as the time eemed to pass so quickly.  I would suggest the length of session should be 4+ hours so that more can be achieved and allow a coffee break.

Thank you so much, great time and learnt so much. Tina so patient and knowledgeable.   Would highly recommend  

Lots of time and materials.  Techniques shown and explained were easy to follow, and  with Tina offering guidance and encouragement it was a brilliant workshop.  Thank you  had great fun . Looking forward to the Christmas workshop  

Have attended several of these workshops, and this one was no exception,  learning something different everytime whilst having great fun . Looking forward to more workshops. Thank you Tina 

Connie Hendries

I have really enjoyed the 3 sessions I have had making mosaics with Tina. She’s really knowledgeable , encouraging and creates a 
warm and friendly atmosphere in the classroom. I feel I’m making real progress but would love to have an extra session devoted to learning how to grout properly as we never have enough time to cover this in class. 

Another fantastic mosaic workshop with Tina! Will definitely sign up for more though very interested in a series of classes where I could work on a big piece over time and properly learn associated skills like grouting.

Once again, had great time at this workshop, and looking forward to completing my pair of coasters. Each workshop learnt something new, great fun and all very friendly.  Thank you so much Tina.  Will definitely be attending another one.  Would highly recommend this workshop.

Sheila Taylor

My friend and I had a wonderful 3 hours with Tina learning how to cut tiles and arrange mosaics. We were both really pleased with the final result and would love to come again. 
Many thanks to Tina and Rachel.

Frances  Armstrong 

Brilliant workshop. It was very informative and relaxing. I really enjoyed the class. 

Thank you Tina, had great time, so friendly,  relaxing and continue to learn,  so looking forward to next class  

Margot Cuerden

I found the mosaic class thoroughly enjoyable.  I learnt lots and had fun creating my own design selected from gorgeous selection of tiles.  Tina gave clear instructions and created a supportive, friendly atmosphere.  I’m hooked!  Can’t wait for my next class next Saturday!  Many thanks Tina.

Thank you,  great time.  Can't  wait til next workshop  🌻

My second mosaic workshop was most enjoyable and I was delighted with my completed seahorse.   Many thanks to Tina for sharing her knowledge and for creating a warm and friendly atmosphere for the course.  A very relaxing and worthwhile way to spend a morning.  The Thames Ditton studio is so lovely too.

Again had a great time, and with help and guidance from Tina produced a great piece. looking forward  to next workshop . 🙂

Megan Horsley

Thank you so much for a great session. Booked this as a gift for my friend for her birthday. Neither of us had ever done any mosaic classes before but the training and instruction was really helpful. We both really enjoyed it and love our final pieces. The only thing that would have been better was a bit more time… the class is 3hrs but 3.5hrs would have been better as I felt a bit rushed for time at the end. We spent a lot of time at the beginning learning how to cut the glass. Also a very small point but the website said light refreshments including biscuits, which would have been lovely but we didn’t get any. 

Workshop is brilliant.  Always have a great time,  Looking forward to continuing my learning with the next workshop.   Thank you 

Bernice Hickman

Very enjoyable and Tina was thorough and happy to give us time to talk our creations, which helped learn additional techniques. Thank you

Rosie Lockey

Wonderful mosaic workshop, thank you so much to Tina for an informative and fun class.  Will definitely be back for another workshop!

Mosaic Workshop 

So many new shapes to mosaic, brilliant workshop.  and with your guidance my learning is continuing. Highly recommend this workshop, for all levels of experience.  Thank you so much Tina
