Tina Charalambous

I’ve had 2 sewing classes so far with Sam the 2 hours go too quickly,  enjoyed learning to make a skirt and learning how to read a pattern.  Would definitely recommend a one to one class.  Thank you

Bespoke Sewing Session for beginners or more advanced 1-2-1 or 1-2-2

Maxine  Hall 

Brilliant! Lovely inspiring work area, lovely ladies, so helpful and gave me extra time as I was late arriving due to getting lost! I got lots of helpful tips and I’m looking forward to going again as part of a small group. 

Rachel He ghes

Sam was very fríe and knowledgeable. She was also a good teacher and made my lesson an enjoyable experience. 

Sonia Shearlock

I had a 1-1 Stitch session, on my sewing machine ( as a newbie to it all!)  with Sam and she was so warm and patient with me… and I made a tote bag for my Mum, which she loved 🥰 . Thanks Sam!

Rebekah Gershuny

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.

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"

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

Learn to Sew Workshops

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.

Unwrap Your Machine: Learn to Sew with a Festive Christmas Stocking

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

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.

Getting Started with your Sewing Machine, Make a Tote Bag and Zip Purse

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!

Getting Started with your Sewing Machine, Make a Tote Bag

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.

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.
