All our Saturday sewing sessions in March are full unfortunately. If you’d like to book onto a similar session in the future please contact us with your details and we’ll keep you on our list. The April sessions still have room if you’d like to polish your dressmaking skills up!

We run craft parties for both children and adults at cheeky sew and sew, and it’s all hands on creativity, not kits or colouring between the lines, just lots of buttons, fabric, felt, feathers beads and googly eyes galore to make a wide variety of items.
