Great class, fun time chatting and crafting and learning new skills. Lovely piece of work to take home at the end

Amanda Hillman

I had a lovely day at craft club with Sonia learning quilling techniques. Relaxed and lovely chat. Will be back soon. Thank you so much. 

Another fabulous evening art club where I learned how to make the most beautiful window decals. I hope that this might be repeated with a Christmas theme in the coming weeks. 

The crafting was gentle and cathartic and the social aspect of the workshop added to the all round experience.  Area and biscuits were welcome indulgences   

Will be back in November. 

Another great session where I completed two Christmas window decals and managed to get them home in one piece   Added a few embellishments once they were dry. Lovely day crafting with lovely people. 

Adult Craft Club - Thames Ditton

A new year and for me a new craft. I am learning to crochet. And Sonia taught me how to take a break when I felt frustrated. 😃😃😃

And we are going to make bags to keep our crocheting in. It’s all go on the textile front for a few weeks. Never thought I would be saying that. Thanks for another lovely relaxed club. Great cakes btw. 

Who would ever have thought i could sew!  Today i made a tote bag and it looks great. 

To hold my lovely crochet pieces. Who would ever have thought i could learn to crochet!! 

Happy days. 

What a surprise. It’s been ages since we did quilling. And what a beautiful flower we made. 

Lovely afternoon. 

What concentration in the craft room today. We quilled an owl or learned quilling basics depending upon our knowledge level. All over tea and biscuits, music and chat. 

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

Craft My Day Ltd

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

'Beginners Workshop' Get to Know Your Sewing Machine

Nick Wilson

Really enjoyed this course. Rachel is terrific and made the subject feel easy. Learnt so much. Will book more lessons. 

Bridget Cooper

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.
I had never used a sewing machine before but I learned so much I already feel confident to have a go myself.
I made a beautiful bag that I want to frame!
I can’t wait to book another 😃


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

Really enjoyed the class Lerned a lot and tutor was very helpful and have told others 2 give it a go 

Seema Patel

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

Debarati Goswami

Joan Munns

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

Daniel Vandenburg

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.

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.

The PJ ( bottoms only) workshop review. Very nice studio with lots of light. Good Janome machine with a variety of stitches. Pleasant teacher. Workshop was extremely basic. I felt that it should have been advertised as a very basic beginners class. For three hours I had expected a more detailed pattern with at least a separate waistband. I finished one hour and fifteen minutes prior to the end of the class. I would have finished earlier if an overlocker had been made available. Used a stich (similar to an overlocker) which gave a good finish on the sewing machine but this was not as quick to use. However I was the only attendee and have been sewing for 18 months. A good class if you have none or little experience of sewing.  A cloth copy of the two piece pattern used to make the Pajama bottoms  was given to me as I asked but I was told that normally this doesn’t happen.

Pyjama bottom's Workshop - great introduction to patterns!

Clare Knapman

Great workshop. Rachel is very chilled and approachable and makes you feel confident. Lovely encouraging atmosphere , perfect for a Saturday afternoon and I am now the owner of a fab pair of pyjama bottoms!

Sharon Attewell

Who would have thought i could turn up with a piece of material and leave with an amazing pair of pyjama bottoms ! Sarah Jane was a great teacher , explained things in such a way you felt like sewing was a complete norm to you . I'll be back to make a cushion in September. X

Mark Hanson

Rachel and her crew are brilliant at teaching you how to use a sewing machine and make some really neat stuff. Our class over-ran but the teacher / instructor just stayed with us and got everyone to the end of their project (Beach Trousers for me). All I need now is to be allowed to go on holiday somewhere! 

Emily Davis

Really enjoyable, easy to follow and very relaxed.  Was the perfect gift for my mother who is a beginner sewer.  

Becky 

Did needlework at school and made a few pieces of clothing at home in my teens but hadn't made anything for 30 years+. It was a very good refresher course and I've ended up with a fab pair of green gingham trousers. Mine are leisure pants for the summer, mainly to wear around the house, although I wore them to a restaurant and friends were really impressed!

Nicola Thompson

A great workshop- sarah Jane was an excellent relaxed tutor. Thoroughly enjoyed the workshop- felt relaxed afterwards. Would highly recommend 

Debra McKay

Good appropriate venue.
Good equipment 
Great trainer
Appropriate for all levels 

Anne Hayes

Again another excellent workshop and walked out with more knowledge and a wonderful pair of pyjama bottoms produced. Not generic one size fits all  but one which fits me.  Pattern made to size, material cut and sewn in just over 3 hours.  Wonderful way to spend a morning would recommend this workshop.

Tina Sanders

Brilliant course x just looking to see what’s next x

Helena Butler

I had a great time, learnt so much about using a pattern and came home with a garment I made myself !  Such a patient teacher 

Karen Knight

Really enjoyed the Pyjama Workshop, fun, friendly and very informative.

Lea was a great instructor and as I was the only attendee for my class I had a great 1  2 1 coaching experience on making a simple pair of pyjama trousers
