The Sewing for Improvers Course was enjoyable, really useful and very good value. I'm delighted with my bag, apron and cushion cover and know I've acquired new skills I'll use again: making bias binding, inserting an invisible zip and using fusible fleece.  Martha gives clear instructions and is very patient and encouraging.  The two hours went by incredibly quickly each time.   I shall miss the Wednesday evening lessons in friendly company.

 
I met Martha after I was given a 20+ year old Singer overlocker. Sixty-something, male, and barely capable of bodging the task of sewing on a button, it was time to face down the demons of fabric and thread.
The ten-week Sewing for Beginners course was great fun. Martha was comfortable working with a range of sewing machines, some provided by those attending the course and others others available in her well-equipped Sewing Shed. We made items that were attractive and useful. We achieved. We created a network of friends who still swap ideas and solve problems.
It is telling that the Beginners class signed up en masse for the follow on course, and now that has ended, for yet more sewing. The tentative sounds of sewing machines operating at their slowest have been replaced by the confident sounds of machines operating swiftly, all against a background of cheerful chatter.

Martha is such a wonderful teacher. I had no idea how to use a sewing machine when I first started, and now am comfortable working on a variety of projects on my own. If you want to learn to sew, don't hestitate to join these classes!

Many thanks Martha for your help on the beginners course. It has given me the confidence to buy my own machine and embark on home projects.
Your lessons were relaxed and friendly and I would happily recommend them to anyone. I soon realised it was not about what we made in the lessons but about the skills involved in making the items. I will most certainly come to one of your future classes.
Thank you also for the practical advice you gave me concerning my hand tremor, by looking at ways I can work around this.

I have just completed the 10 week introductory course and it has been fantastic. I started with no idea how to use my sewing machine and after 10 weeks I'm able to carry out simple projects using the techniques I've learned. Martha is a great teacher and the classes are fun and engaging.  Highly recommended.
 

Absolutely loved this course. I'd never touched a sewing machine and I was really nervous about not being able to keep up with other people on the course but Martha was absolutely amazing at making sure we all had the right level of help so no one got left behind bit we could all work at our own pace. Would definitely recommend this course, it's the best thing I've done for myself in years.

If you LOVE to sew. You will love to visit the Sewing Shed in Stroud. I have just had a one to one session, to learn how to use an over locker with Martha, an experienced seamstress/needle women/crafter. It was a great two hours to get to know my machine, share sewing interests, obtain new ideas, network about local suppliers of materials/treads etc. and relax in a peaceful shed (more like a cabin) surrounded by nature. I highly recommend this experience. Best to find a session which suits your needs. I plan to return to the shed and join one of Martha's project classes. Susan A.

Two days of total immersion into transforming some of your much-loved clothes into items that you can wear again. We will be giving favourite items a new lease of life. 

At this workshop, we will look at clothes, their shapes and styles and how to improve them. What can we add and what to eliminate? Finding interesting ways of creating something new out of something old and making it into something you can use again. The aim is that you don’t have to get rid of your favourite items. You can 'mix them up' with other garments. Think of combining several different textures or shapes together (see photos below). Maybe through adding lines, contrasts or elements where you don’t expect it. It is about exploring possibilities and looking at your clothes in a new way. We will also be looking at how to emphasise areas exploring a wide variety of surface design techniques to transform garments.

You will be working with individual design elements, depending on your own style and preference. This is a fun and playful way of transforming existing textiles and giving them a personal, fun and quirky element. And all of this whilst being nurtured and fed by Hawkwood's delicious organic 2-course lunch, cakes and drinks.
