Learn to sew in south Devon

Sewing is more than just a hobby – it’s a skill that can bring a lifetime of creativity, satisfaction, and self-reliance.
At Sewansome in Ivybridge (near Plymouth), I teach sewing workshops personally, drawing on my professional experience in garment making, soft furnishings, and bespoke projects.

With over 30 in the sewing industry, I guide each student – from children aged 8 to adults – with patience, skill, and an eye for detail. Whether you want to master the basics, refresh your techniques, or tackle something ambitious, you’ll benefit from learning directly from someone who sews professionally every day.

With our wide range of classes, there is something for everyone who wants to learn this craft.


What you can expect in my workshops:

  • Beginner & Novice Classes – step-by-step guidance tailored to your pace
  • Workshops for All Ages – welcoming environment for children (8+) and adults
  • Sewing Parties – celebrate birthdays or special occasions creatively
  • Gift Vouchers – give the experience of learning a lifelong skill

Because I keep group sizes small, you get personal attention and advice that’s specific to your project and skill level. You’ll leave each session with more confidence, better technique, and something you’ve made yourself.
