A day to stitch whatever you fancy: crazy critters, a bag, a cushion, an apron, fabric jewels, a simple skirt,  or perhaps you have another idea? This workshop is suitable for children (aged 8+) and young people – beginners and super stitchers alike.

These fun sessions are guided by each individual attendee's ideas and skill level. We will try to ensure that everyone enjoys creating something they can be proud of. 

Stitch Clubs are small groups of up to 6 children (from age 8) and young people. The group is usually mixed ability and ages to encourage individual achievement and to support each other to create their own ideas. 

We meet in our purpose-built Stitch Studio in Pinner, North-West London – a cosy making cave full of inspiration.

When your child ask to go back for more sessions, after being reluctant to go to sam's club, you know the club has to be fun!

Ruth Molins

The holidays course(s) offer a wonderful, calm, inclusive and fun way to explore creativity and to develop skills. My 10-year old daughter has already ensured I’ve booked her on another date soon! 

Enda Taylor

Both my children and I have attended day workshops and also weekly classes over the last years and we all have thoroughly enjoyed Sam's classes.  The time has simply flown past.  We look forward to joining again in the Autumn.

Ayda Singer

Absolutely thrilled to have found Stitch Club. Sam runs amazing workshops for children interested in sewing. No prior knowledge or skills needed and the children come out with fabulous creations every time. Highly highly recommend, my daughter wants to come as often as possible. Convenient location in central Pinner and lovely dedicated sewing studio. 

Isobel  O’Connor 

My daughter enjoyed the full day session after Christmas. Lovely sewing projects and Sam is a wonderful teacher.  We look forward to returning.

Silke Fernandes

My 9-year old daughter loved her workshop with Sam. She was very ambitious with her project and Sam provided all the help and materials needed for her to finish it. Thanks so much!

Ros Jenkins

My daughter had such a great time - and in a day's session made a dragon themed book holder that she is so proud of. 

We love Stitch Club and are absolutely delighted to have found it! Sam is an amazing teacher, wonderfully supportive, creative and patient. My daughter would come to every single holiday workshop if she could.  Sam is fabulous because if my daughter comes with an idea, she will help her to create it, but if she doesn't, she will guide her to creating something wonderful too. Highly highly recommend for children who are keen on learning to sew and work with textiles.

Rose Wlodyka

My daughter (10 and 8) went to stitch club for the first time and had a wonderful day. They loved the freedom of designing and making their first ever sewing project. Learning new skills was a bonus, They will definitely be back for future sessions. 

Sakeena Rahman

My daughter had a great day at the Stitch club, making a tote bag and donut. Here is what she said  "Really fun,  nice teachers that are really helpful and I really enjoyed the projects"

Caroline Hilson

My daughter loved it and came home with a pillow she made herself. Its amazing what she created in just one day!

Stitch Clubs are small groups of up to 8 children (aged 8+) and young people. The group is usually mixed ability and ages to encourage individual achievement and to support each other to create their own ideas. 

We meet in our purpose-built Stitch Studio in Pinner, North-West London – a cosy making cave full of inspiration.

Starting with simple hand sewing and basic fabric manipulation and then introducing and developing sewing machine and design techniques, children and young people are soon designing and creating their own items. Individual creativity and flexibility are as important as technique ensuring that confidence and skills develop while making fun and beautiful things.

The emphasis is on encouraging children and young people to have the confidence and skills to make items that they want. Getting an idea from your head to reality requires planning and adaptability: practical and creative skills. Creating in small groups encourages collaboration and support and taps into an important part of being human.

We supply everything – fabrics, haberdashery (ribbons, buttons and other bits and bobs), patterns, skill instructions and tuition. The only time you may need to make an additional purchase is if you require a specific fabric or notion when creating a particular project.

Stitch Club

Catherine Hallowes

My daughter is home-educated and so face-to-face classes with other children are a valuable commodity. Sam is teaching her essential skills in an area she has long been interested in getting into, and she is making rapid progress. The classes are small, interesting and fun, the workshop well-stocked and wonderfully located in a garden with both outdoor and indoor work areas. She really enjoys hanging out there with Sam and the other kids in her home-ed focussed group, making crafty things. It's a perfect, satisfying end to a busy day.

Maia Braund

My daughter Maia continues to absolutely love this club. She's learning interesting and valuable new creative skills in a lovely calm, happy and safe environment and always returns home afterwards beaming with a sense of achievement. Thank you, Sam; It's very satisfying for both of us!

Ella Coyle

My daughter have been coming to Stitch for many years and love it. Beautiful setup, amazing teaching from Sam and a lovely, supportive group setting for all ages. 

Katherine Adey

This is a wonderful class.
My daughter has been attending weekly for over 5 years. She has been creatively inspired and produced some beautiful pieces.

Olivia  Grassi 

My daughter loves this glass so much total down time to be herself. 
And the different skill set within all types of creative sewing is really interesting and keeps her focused. 
Simply she loves it. 🧵 🧵💕

Mend and Repair Clothes Workshop

If you are a beginner or feeling a bit rusty we will give you a basic introduction to using a sewing machine to enable you to sew a seam and top stitch to neatly finish off. 

There will be a selection of  fabrics and bits and bobs for you to work with, but if you have a special garment, baby sheet or other fabric you would like to upcycle into a special item, bring it along.

We will discuss the best way to work with your fabric and how to make your stocking unique and special to you. You can decorate your stocking or sack, for example appliqué a letter or patch a selection of fabrics together.

The workshop is held in our dedicated Stitch Studio where you will have access to all sorts of bits and bobs to embellish your work. Sam will be on hand throughout to guide and troubleshoot with you to ensure that you have the confidence to create the best christmas stocking or sack while building your sewing and making skills.

For absolute beginners who would like to start using a sewing machine and those who want to brush up rusty skills.

Make a Christmas Stocking while getting to know your Sewing Machine

In a relaxed, informal environment, you will learn how to sew simple projects from scratch using your sewing machine or one of ours.

This 6 hour workshop is an introduction to your machine – how it works, how to thread it, select stitches, sew a seam and basic trouble-shooting.

An introduction to using fabric – how to design and plan a project and selecting and working with fabric and threads. If there is time we will also make a matching zippy bag.

By the end of the workshops you should feel sufficiently confident to go home and get started on your own machine and/or join our dressmaking workshop – AND you will have a lovely tote bag and, time depending, zippy bag to inspire you.

Use of our materials, haberdashery and machines is included. If you want to bring your own sewing machine please bring your instruction book.

Coral  Driver 

I thoroughly enjoyed my first session and learned so much that I previously did not know about my sewing machine. I loved the friendly and relaxed learning environment- and felt able to put my new skills to work straight away.  Thank you for a brilliant day - I’m looking forward to booking a future course!

Rita Bakrania

Was enjoyable class learned a lot. I would go back again.

Annabelle Boal

I really enjoyed my session. It was very helpful and inspiring in a warm and bright  environment. I came away with a lovely tote bag which I hope to replicate. 

Parul Joshi-Shah

It was wonderful experience. Sam was very gentle and very thoroughly explained and taught how to use  my machine. I made cushion cover and zip wallet. Very happy with my sawing experience. Great thing is now I can use my sawing machine 😃

Jess Choy

The time flew by and i left with an amazing tote bag! The class surpassed my expectations and Sam was a great teacher.  I am a complete beginner and now I’m going go get my own machine and apply what I’ve learned so would highly recommend. Thanks Sam. 

Elizabeth Dalby

Great day, had fun, made a bag. Really enjoyed it. Highly recommend. Relaxed atmosphere, really great learning environment. ☺️

Helen Laleendra

I have enjoyed making the tote bag. You have provided a nice environment to make learning process easier. The pace of the learning process was suitable for me. It’s good that you sent us the notes to download later. This will help me to go back and remember the things learned.
Thank you.

Roma Agrawal

Absolutely loved learning from Sam! I was a total novice with the machine, and left with wonderful items that I made. Sam talked me through how the machine works, different fabrics, threads and techniques used to create accessories and clothes. Highly recommend.

HINA Khan

Sam was a great teacher and it was a really joyous experience. Looking forward to signing up soon for another course!

Andrea Joseph

Just what l needed to revive my creativity!!!
I recently attended my first two stitch club sessions after not sewing for some years . Our tutor was excellent working at every ones pace. I learnt new techniques and she shared creative style and perspective to the benefits of sewing. I left feeling proud and inspired as l made a tote bag and pyjama bottoms . I now feel confident to practice the techniques and sewing other pieces independently. Thank you for making us feel welcome ,a safe place where we learn with out the pressure of feeling less than if we don't get things right the first time...

Amerjit Basra

This session was really calm and there was no pressure. I felt well supported and feel confident enough to use a sewing machine. I created a bag as well as learned all about different fabrics and techniques. I am an absolute beginner and Sam was right by my side in our little group session in a pretty setting. I would definitely recommend and would consider going on another course.  

Natalie Fernandes

Excellent pace, friendly teacher and a lovely atmosphere making the day an informative as well as fun experience. Thank you!

Michelle Griffin

Sam was a great teacher and the small class size  meant we were all able to get almost one to one tuition. I'm a complete beginner to sewing but this has made me want to do more! Would definitely recommend. 

Hina Khan

Sam was lovely as always- super patient and a great teacher. Her studio is cosy and filled with inspirational ideas from all the beautiful pieces she has made. Given I have previously done the tote bag course, she was completely accomodating of letting me make a cushion this time. I had another wonderful day with her!

Kulvinder Kaur

This was my second time doing this class and Sam is always very kind and gives very clear instructions. She is always willing to answer any questions  and clears all doubts. Attending this class has given me more confidence and I hope to try some projects of my own. Highly recommend this class if you want to get to know your sewing machine . 

For absolute beginners and those who want to brush up rusty skills. Apply your skills as you familiarise yourself with the sewing machine.

These sessions are totally flexible, we can discuss what you want to achieve and then work out together the best way to use your session to achieve your aim.

You may choose this time to work with your sewing machine or to try out one of the Studio’s Janomes or to develop your hand embroidery skills. 

One-to-one sessions make great presents – especially if you are also gifting a sewing machine. 

Private group workshops can also be arranged. Just get in touch with your ideas, dates and requirements and we’ll work out a plan.

I really enjoyed my 1-2-1 lesson. Learnt a lot and found the whole experience relaxing enjoyable and very therapeutic. 

Learn a new technique, get some guidance with developing an idea or create a tailor made session for some time out.

Learn simple stitches and how to use them to make something unique to you. This relaxing session is for beginners or those who want to free up their technique.

We will explore a selection of stitches including: running stitch, stem stitch, French and bullion knots and seeding stitch. If there is a particular line or fill that you need we will look at the different stitches. 
You can use these to create an image which can then be left in a frame or made into a small lavender shape.

There will be an opportunity to look at different fabrics and fibres you can use, with an emphasis on re-using and adapting scraps and other bits and bobs. 

You can work on your own design, an idea you have been mulling over or you can work from one of our images. You will learn how to plan and transfer your design onto your base fabric.

This workshop is part of Sam’s Harrow Open Studio. Her artwork will be around for you to use as inspiration and ideas. It will take place in the Stitch Club Studio in Central Pinner. This Aladdin’s cave is full of inspirational textile bits and bobs. It has been adapted to our new way of being with a lovely outdoor working space where you can relax and forget about the world outside.

You will leave with new ideas and the confidence to create your next embroidery independently.

What will be provided?
We have all the tools and fabrics you should need.
What should you bring ? 
Just yourself will do. If you have some ideas or an image or more that you find inspiring, bring them too. If there is a fabric or fibre that you want to work with or know more about bring that too.

An Australian artist living in London, I began running Stitch workshops & clubs in 2008. I love nothing better than making and sharing this feeling with others.

Christina’s background as a Norwegian fashion designer brings a wonderful authentic aesthetic to her work; her enthusiasm for making and sharing is infectious.
