If you know how to use a sewing machine and love a challenge, join us to tackle a sewer’s dream project – an lingerie set. 

In this course, we’ll begin by making a pair of knickers, with the option to choose from a brief or thong pattern. We’ll then sew a non-wired bralette pattern to make a comfy and chic set that you’ll love to wear! 

It’s the perfect class for anyone who wants to take their sewing skills to the next level while making useful and aesthetic garments.

The course will be led by our guest teacher Sam, who is currently studying for a PHD in the science of bra making so you are in safe hands.

Step into the world of underwear making and make yourself a perfectly fitting non-wired bralette & matching knickers

Adventurous Beginners: Knickers & Bralette

Make Mee Studio

They’ll get stuck into sewing, crafting and designing projects to instill a sense of confidence and pride. These sessions are open to kids of all sewing abilities, from complete newbies to confident creators. Regardless of their ability, they’ll leave with new knowledge and progress on projects appropriate to their skill level. 

This is a great extracurricular activity that will give your child transferable life skills. They’ll learn to use a sewing machine and discover loads of other craft and design techniques including: appliqué, embroidery, free machining, dressmaking, pattern cutting, and much, much more! 

**What’ll they make**

Each child will tackle a project of their choosing, individually guided by one of our friendly and experienced teachers. We have a huge range of projects on offer so they can choose to make something they will love and cherish for years to come. 

They can also choose fabric and trims available in our studio. We have everything, from regular cotton and standard buttons, to plush faux fur and sequins – a dream for imaginative young makers!   

Some of our projects include: cuddlies, bags, t-shirts, skirts, trousers, cushions the list goes on…

**Who’s it for?**

These sessions are suitable for budding sewers of all abilities, for children in year 2 and above.  Please note, we have recently had to increase the age criteria so please email if you child is 6 but in year 1. 
They can be a great help for GSCE and A-level work, and can also go towards D of E skills.

This session can also serve as a taster to see if your child would like to sign up for our After School Club or Holiday Classes. 

Please note: we cannot offer childcare over lunch time.

Children's Freestyle Sewing Saturday's

Alexandra Gimeno McMahon 

Alex loved it as always, she is always so proud of what she achieves!!! 

Fab kids lessons that give them skills for life!

Imogen George-Young

4.5 stars
She enjoyed it very much - the range of options of stuff to make & the help from Jamie. (although she had her own project to learn to finish! ) 

She's booked to come again next month. 

Alex  Gimeno Mcmahon 

Amazing as always, love fact they can create whatever pops onto their head on the day !! 

Poppy  Gleeson

My children have been enjoying sewing sessions with Jaime and Tracey at Make Mee since 2018. They love the fact they're allowed to choose projects based on their skill level but also encouraged to stretch themselves and develop new skills. The creations are amazing. Between them they have made jackets, trousers, skirts, t-shirts, shorts, bags and pencil cases. All from interesting fabrics so each piece is totally unique. We love these classes so much that since moving we now travel a 4 hour round trip to participate. 

Cecilia  Durbin 

Cecilia was very focussed.. during the different sessions she's attended so far.  and has challenged herself in making a few different items !! It is good fun for that age and the free flow works out well given the different levels and working paces. 

Grace Campbell

My two girls absolutely loved their first sewing class. They came out so excited and animated about what they’d made. It was a joy to see their faces! We’ve booked again.  Thank you so so much Tracey & Jaime. 

Esther Agbolade 

Love love all my sessions. All amazing coaches. 

Isabel Gilmore

My daughter absolutely loved her first ever session here. She’d never used a sewing machine before and came home having made a Hogwarts cushion which she was very proud of! She can’t wait to come again. Thank you!

Emma Prouvost

I love the class and making the scrunchy and the pillow. ( Emma,6) 
My daughter absolutely loves this class and has been asking over and over for more sessions.


Ariana Clarke

Super 3 hour session. Made a tote bag, hair scrunchie and pompom! 
Will definitely be going again.

Keira Waisome

I'm really pleased with my bag. Looking forward to the next session!

Iona Singleton

My daughter loves this class. I'm amazed at the stuff she comes home with - yesterday she stayed for the morning and afternoon session and came home having finished a backpack and made a pair of trousers from scratch. A really brilliant workshop.

Eloise McKeown

We love the monthly Saturday sessions, the quality of the projects that come home with the kids is always astounding.

Mary Elliott

This was the perfect first session for us both (mum and daughter) to learn to use our new sewing machine and to have guidance in our first projects. We both loved it! So pleased to have found your studio & looking forward to learning more with you. Thank you.

Lola Kamp

My daughter loved it! She came back home with her home-made skirt, quite pretty indeed. She would like to go weekly :) Excellent skills to learn, while having fun.

David Hunter

My son had a great time at the children's freestyle sewing workshop at Make Mee studio.
He had stated making a hat at home out of his own interest and needed a bit of help to sew it together properly. The tutors at Make Mee enabled him to make what he wanted. I was very impressed that they managed to give such tailored (no pun intended) support to individual students. My son was really happy with the end result and said the time passed really quickly, he was enjoying the process so much.
Thanks Make Mee studio! 

Cleide Marlene Moreira da Costa

Hi 
My name is Acacia I am 8 ,l really like sewing lesson, because it’s very fun,  I can learn how sewing, and the teachers are very nice. 

Sulihat Owoyemi

I liked the make mee studio because I got to chose what I made and did most of the work. What I disliked about it was that I did not get to really go on the machine by myself but overall it was really good.

Elly & Zoi  Vernardou

I am impressed every time my girls go to Make Mee with all the goodies they make and bring back and wear on a daily basis! Its incredible!

Katerina Milchevska

My daughter loved it! 
It was our first time coming to Crofton Park Library for the kids sewing club, but i have a feeling we'll become regulars every fist Sat in the month. 
She made a lovely foxy pouch that she's been showing around for the past few days, very pleased with herself. 
Thanks for the amazing time and fun ways of transferring useful skills.


Freja Hamill

Freja had the best morning learning to make a bag and a key ring. The crafts are very much age appropriate and challenging and the teachers are lovely. We’ll definitely do another Saturday workshop before Christmas! 

Philippa Williams

My daughter and I both really enjoyed the Saturday morning class. The teachers were incredibly patient and friendly. The machines and resources available were very good quality and we had a fun three hours sewing and crafting. It has helped me overcome a fear of sewing machines and I look forward to another class soon.

Emma Prouvost 

My daughter loves the sewing  class and never fails to impress with the creations she brings back home. Last time she made a cat tail for her Christmas show :). 
It’s a great class for kids to boost their confidence and coordination  with great teachers who are always on hand . Tracey and Jamie kindly provided advice in connection to buying a sewing machine and what accessories go with it in spite of their busy schedule. Thank you , we will be back ! :) 

Emma Hunter

Absolutely loved the sewing class, the teachers were great. I’m definitely going to sign up for more sessions.

Avery Wood

I loved it so much and I want to go back  next week 

Kelly Bush

My 9 year old never wants to do any clubs!!! But she’s asked to go back to this one. Thanks so much x 

Zoe Williams

Both Zoe and Isaac love coming along to the monthly sewing session.
They are learning new skills from patient and friendly teachers, they make great pieces and are always keen to come back for more!

REBECCA MACEY

We were told about MakeMee by a friend and her daughter. We tried the Freestyle Saturday workshop (having no previous experience of sewing machines). What a delight! My daughter is just 6, but she was engaged throughout. We had lots of friendly help (even though it was busy) and we both made purses. My daughter is very proud of her creation, now showing it off at every opportunity :)  The other kids there had been before i think, and were very impressive & inspiring

Sewing Lessons for Children - Freestyle Sewing Saturday's

Cornelia Lowe

Fantastic sewing classes for all levels. My daughter really enjoyed learning, from the basics of how to thread a sewing machine to following different patterns. Lovely patient members of the team have made the experience all the more exciting. 

Josie Heneghan

Such a great learning experience and environment 

Irene Galbraith

I think this workshop is really nice and I want to back.

Daniel Thurley

My daughters been coming here for several months and loves it, she's made some bags, leggings, headbands etc, she's taught how to use the machines safely and correctly and can choose what designs / projects to work on.

Hannah Lowry

My nine year old daughter loves the first Saturday of the month sewing sessions and we've been so impressed at how much she's learnt. Her confidence and creativity have increased and she's made some fabulous creations. The teachers strike a great balance between helping/supporting/teaching and giving them space to be independent and to learn from trying things and making mistakes. It's hard to find classes as kids get older and this one has the benefit of teaching skills for life!

SERENA LASCELLES

I’m 8 years old and I made my first bag! It’s so beautiful. I learnt so much and can’t wait to come back for another lesson!

My 13 year old loves coming here and has made leggings and a t shirt and has sparked a real interest in clothing design and textiles. Staff are really friendly and helpful.

Amaya

My daughter loves coming to the classes. The team was supportive, caring and was eager to help everyone. It was very inspiring seeing all the other sewers pushing themselves to create incredible work. My daughter will definitely be coming again soon! (The review was written by my 9 year old daughter)

Nina Godfrey

I think everyone was so friendly and helpful, it was a wonderful experience (especially for my first ever lesson).

My 2 girls love this class ! We always wonder what they will bring back home after each session and  it’s lovely to see how different their creativity is :) 

Cyd BARCLAY

My daughter thinks this class is great, she liked being able to make whatever she wanted and was really proud of what she made. We will come back soon

Martha Heneghan

My 2 little girls love the Make Mee sessions. It’s empowering , creative  and gives them a boost to their confidence . They both look  forward to each class and keep asking me to book the next ones :) 

Rebecca Owens

The freestyle sewing on a Saturday seemed to be such a lovely class and my 10yo daughter made bunting using a sewing machine, lovely fabrics, a pattern, and she pinned and ironed the material. She said she really enjoyed it with lovely staff and was very pleased with what she had made. Thank you. 

Our eleven year old daughter has been attending the Saturday freestyle sewing sessions for a while now and absolutely loves them. We've been so impressed by the things she's made and the skills she has learnt. It's also one of the few activities we've found that is suitable for tweens/teens. 

Sarah Canavan

A wonderful mum and daughter time. The ladies were so patient and knowledgeable.  My daughter is autistic and struggles with new people but I was amazed by how relaxed she was. We will definitely be back and have already recommended it to friends. 

Laima Speakman-Havard

My daughter had a wonderful time and I was bloolwn away by what she achieved.

Jenae Boadu

Class was amazing! I would recommend to any parent!

rebecca macey

Booked Sat am session for some mum & daughter time. (Mum with no skills & daughter 7 yrs and a beginner) Amazingly lovely time. Steph was calm, attentive, encouraging and super helpful. We both came away very pleased with our creations- thanks so much, esp to steph

Abigail Cooper

My 9 year old daughter attended one of your Saturday afternoon sessions and she absolutely loved it. She thoroughly enjoyed making her bag and is very proud of it. She also really appreciated the independence she was given whilst also feeling very supported. She is desperate for me to book her in again which I will not hesitate to do! Thank you!

Anne Prestwich

We loved our experience, my daughter absolutely loved it. She made a skirt and a crunchy never used a sewing machine before and she’s very proud of what she made. 


Caroline  Gubert 

I booked this session for my daughter and my mother. They had such fun together and when I came to pick them up, my daughter was absolutely glowing as in 3 hours she had made a skirt that was 'so beautiful you could buy it in a shop'. To confirm her enthusiasm, many people have since asked her where she bought it! Thank you for giving my daughter such a wonderful and affirming experience. I have booked myself into the next session with her and can't wait (my mother also made a stunning snood). 

Rose Wright

So much fun. Lots of new skills acquired. Lovely snood  at the end of it!

Ebone Logie

Great morning activity. Lovely staff. Supportive and encouraging of being a beginner. Have great ideas and we’re very patient. Session was very enjoyable and will go again!!

Lucy Wilkins

I and my 7 year old daughter attended, neither of us ever having sewed before. I cannot believe that I by the end of the three hours she had made a skirt and I a bag, using sewing machines. My daughter was so thrilled and so proud and had an amazing time. The teachers were lovely and patient. We are 100% going again!

Elsa  Raffel

Another brilliant session at Make Mee Studio. My daughter and I are hooked! So satisfying to make something so beautiful in 3 hours and then be able to go away and use it day to day!

Bethan LIVESEY

My daughter loves the  Saturday freestyle sessions. She is encouraged to try new things, be bold and learn new skills. She has made some impressive pieces that she is rightly proud of. So glad we found this place!

Anne Prestwich 

My daughter really enjoys coming to the Saturday classes, and loves learning a new skill. 

Merle Cox Davies

Thank you! My child loves your classes and has been endlessly making weird and wonderful creations at home as a result🌈

Treat your child to a few hours of creative fun at our Freestyle Sewing sessions, held on the first Saturday of each month. 

Question 1

Is your child in year 2 or above?  If they are 6 but in year 1 please contact us before booking.

Join us for our weekly relaxed sewing and mending sessions where you can get stuck into your own projects alongside fellow makers/potential besties. 

At our socials, you can:

- Enjoy using our fully-equipped sewing studio complete with large tables, sewing machines, overlockers and every tool you’ll need
- Bring along any torn or *yawn* boring clothing to mend and upcycle (we’ll help you!)
- Chat to fellow makers, make creative friends and become part of a sewing community 
- Turn to our experienced sewing teachers for aesthetic advice and sewing technique top tips
- Refer to our collection of books, guides and patterns for ideas and how-tos
- Buy low-cost material from our studio
- Unwind and have fun in a no-pressure environment
- Best of all, be messy and not worry about tidying up!

**Before you book**
While our teachers will be available to support you, our Sewcials are designed to create space for laid-back independent sewing and peer-to-peer learning.  
If you’re a complete sewing newbie, check out our Learn to Sew or Casual Basics course. 

Our books and references can only be used in-studio. If you’d like to use them for a longer period of time, we recommend booking a bundle of classes. 

Not a sewer? No problem! Bring along your knitting, crochet, weaving, macrame or other crafting project. Our expert sewing teachers may not be able to support you to the same extent but we’re sure you’ll love the extra space, new pals and the freedom to be messy!  

We have free spots available for those who can’t pay the ticket price right now. If you can afford to and want to spread the love, consider buying a “pay it forward” ticket to support a fellow maker.

The Sewcial

Ann Thompson

Good fun at the Sewcial session, very helpful being able to use the sewing machines and meet other people working on their own different projects.

Rosie Hattersley

Super session with lots of useful advice on the project I brought along, and stop me from messing up something I thought I'd mastered but wasn't quite confident about. You can either bring along everything you need and make use of the fact there's plenty of space to work, or borrow equipment from the Make Mee studio. Although this isn't a taught class, it's fine to ask questions and check with them about stuff. The really friendly sewing instructors also always have clever fixes and ways to save on fabrics or to make better use of those I've brought along.

Erum Quddus

Loved the Sewcial! So good to be among like minded people and exchanging ideas. It was also good to be amongst people. Having support from Jaime on my sewing projects as and when I needed it means that I can actually make progress and finish things! Looking forward to the next class!  :)

Always great fun. Learn some really useful tips.

Claire Harding

Friendly and relaxed group sewing in a well-equipped studio. I'll be back!

Sara

I had a great time and learnt a lot on the course learning to sew basic casuals. There was a really friendly atmosphere and the tutors were full of knowledge, tips and tricks of the trade. The class size meant that everybody got the help when they needed it. The studio is well stocked with everything you could possibly needed to create amazing clothes. So happy I did the course and will definitely be signing up for more. 

Very friendly atmosphere. Instructors always willing to help if you are stuck on the project you are working on.
Good place to meet new people too.

Diane O’Shea

I enjoyed the session. I felt motivated working along side the other sewers. 

Clare Lorraine Phipps

These sessions are incredible value for money. £10 for access to the Make Mee studio equipment is already great, but the real bonus is the Make Mee teachers on hand if you have any questions and offer tips and tricks. Jaime is so helpful and really makes sewing fun (great for those who had the fun drummed out at school!) - I wouldn't be able to machine sew at all without her! Also a nice airy well ventilated space perfect for covid times, and the team wear masks so everyone feels safe to sew. It's also so nice to see other visitors' projects progress every week and learn from what other people are doing. Highly recommend, it's a miracle they aren't sold out every week! 

Anna Serocold

Lovely atmosphere and helpful tips ☺️

Great class, as always! Very friendly, helpful, attentive staff. And good to be amongst other sewers. Really nice vibe in the class. Thoroughly recommend! 

Liane Alleyne

I had a fantastic time as always, I will be attending more sessions and classes. 

Sabina Plamenova

Very productive, lovely teacher and students. Hope to join again in the near future!

Anna Sgambati

Good experience and friendly I want continue 

Paulette Baker

I loved it I enjoyed my first time and the young lady Jamie was very friendly and very helpful I'm definitely going back next time 

Alice  Grahame 

I completed a tricky alteration that I had been putting off for years. The sewing teacher Josh, was extremely patient showing me how to do darts, and advising on how to get a good fit. Also the equipment was so much better than what I have at home. I was delighted to leave the session with a wearable dress. I would definitely recommend Make Mee Studio for anyone wanting to have a go at dress making. 

Louisa Barry

Loved sewing with other people! Its much more fun! And for a beginner like me its great to have Jaimie at hand for problem-solving and advice! 

natalie ashworth-binns

Georgia did a great job of helping me to sow the ilford jacket which was a bit beyond my skill level. She was really patient and friendly. I would highly recommend this course and Georgia. 

pauline pennant

Awesome ! Just what I’ve been looking for - our teacherJosh was super helpful, informative & all round pleasant - free parking right outside - a hidden gem. Will most definitely be back 

Janice George

This was my first time at an evening. Everyone was welcoming and friendly, and Josh was supportive with advice. I enjoyed the evening and plan to go again.

Sarah Kutner

My experience with Make Me Studios was amazing! Annie (the instructor) was so kind and knowledgeable. She helped me with my project and gave great suggestions! I was a bit nervous as it was my first time coming and I am not too confident in my sewing, however everyone was extremely welcoming. I will definitely be back!!  

Patricia Chong

I was so fortunate to attend a “sewcial” event while in London. Everyone was friendly and I had a great time. 

Anthony Mee

Janet Jackson

I throughly enjoyed my first Tuesday morning session. Thank you Annie for your guidance and knowledge with my fiddly projects that have been sitting at home waiting to be sorted.
Although I'm an ametuer I have forgotten how much I love the sound of the sewing machine.
I'm looking forward to my next session.
Thank you.

Tati Howell

I was a bit too daunted to start a sewing project – making a tunic for my partner – and the Sewcial was just what I needed to get it going. I booked a second one as I needed some encouragement with my new overlocker, and now the tunic is finished and has been proudly worn! 

Jasmine  Jones

It was just what I've been looking for! I was able to start using up my stash! The sewing assistants are really helpful. I'm so looking forward to the next session! 

The fact that I keep going back is proof of how much I enjoy attending. Its been a positive experience meeting people who love to sew, getting great support and advice and just having the chance to talk and share.

Karina Samuel-Burm

The person leading the sewcial is helpful and encouraging.
A variety of machines is available including an overlocker, iron and large iron board, lots of coloured thread and sewing accessories. 
People are friendly and make an effort to make it social by having small conversations while working on their individual projects.  I look forward to going again.

My only recommendation would be that the tables and some equipment could do with cleaning before the sessions start. 



I really enjoy the atmosphere, and the support!

bethany  simpkin

Helpful and creative, make mee helped me with ideas and execution of a design for a bag for my business.  They have so many nifty gadgets and an abundance of materials and knowledge! Huge recommend 

Rachel McVeagh

I took the two week course on creating a trouser toile and thoroughly recommend it - it's a really friendly atmosphere, the studio is well stocked and Josh is a great teacher.

I am sp glad I found this! I love the atmosphere and Jaime and Josh are really welcoming and always help when I need some advice. 


Sorry not been around for awhile but hopefully will be back soon!!

Poonam Roberts

I found it a useful session.
People with a common interest are there to complete their own work in progress. 
Advice is constructive and resources are available.  

The Sewcial – Casual Sewing and Mending Meetup

Jo Holmes

I love to sew and I love to chat too! Sewcial at make mee studio provides a great space to start a new project or finally finish that UFO, all in the company of other likeminded creatives and great facilitaters who help and guide you with your chosen project when needed. 

Amy Foxton

Friendly sewing group and space right next to Crofton Park station. Great if you need two hours with a sewing machine to focus on a project

Emma Bray

fantastic event ! i'll certainly be going back, josh was extremely friendly and very helpful (: 

Lara Platt

Lots of informative teaching and progress with Josh 

Melissa Bond

Friendly welcome and lovely supportive atmosphere 

janet020@hotmail.co.uk

I love being able to go along to these classes, especially as its on my doorstep and I can walk within  10 minutes. It helps with my well-being and the feeling of isolation. I love sewing although I am far from being an expert but I am learning with the patience and expertise of Jamiee and Annie. Its also lovely to meet new people who attend the class. Thank you. Janet 

Diane Denham

This Sewcial session was wonderful - I thoroughly enjoyed it. Annie was wonderful - really supportive.
