Make Mee Studio

Make either a pencil skirt or Aline skirt and learn many technices in this sewing course delivered in our studio in South London.

We’ll cover many different dressmaking techniques to create a finished and wearable item.

**Who’s it for?**

This course is for absolute beginners who have never used a sewing machine before or those who have basic knowledge but want some practical dressmaking guidance.

Through this sewing course, you’ll learn that there's never just one way to do things in dressmaking (and you don't always have to stick to the rules). We want to encourage you to find your own personal way.

**In this course, you’ll learn:**

- How to measure your body

- Pattern terminology

- Garment construction

- Basic dressmaking techniques: different seam finishes, zips and hems to create your ideal skirt.

\*\*Sizing \*\*

We have patterns for sizes 6 - 26. If you fall outside of these size ranges please get in touch and we can make a pattern for you.

A really great course with excellent teacher. Very laid back, friendly atmosphere, everything explained step by step as you go along, taking time to make sure everyone follows. Went away feeling like I had really learnt how to use a sewing machine and was very proud of my skirt.

I really enjoyed Tracie and Jamie's beginners dressmaking course, they were both full of knowledge and were happy to adjust the patter of the skirt to include extra things like pockets and pleats!

Florence Platford

I had a fantastic time learning to alter some of my unloved clothes. I was able to take in a pair of trousers, alter the sleeves of a blouse and make a long cardigan into a cropped cardigan with elastic in the bottom to add shape. I feel that I learnt so many skills in such a short amount of time! The teachers were so friendly and helpful that I had a brilliant time. 

I feel so happy that I now have three new items to wear regularly that were just sitting at the back of my wardrobe. Thank you!

Victoria John

Tracey and Jamie are the best teachers - super patient, friendly and brilliant at making all the tasks easy to understand and super fun. I cannot speak highly enough of these lovely ladies. The studio is so welcoming and I love going back to learn more. 3 workshops ( 2 different skirt workshops and zip pouches) so far and more to come! If you want to learn about sewing whether you’re a beginner or an improver, this is the place to go! You won’t regret it.

Sigi Carson

My daughter Lotte loves going to her sewing class on Wednesdays and has received loads of compliments for the trousers she made there.  Jamie, the teacher, is great with the kids and has taught her a lot in a short time. We're so glad we found Make Mee.

Learning some dressmaking & sewing basics in Tracey's garden studio was one of the best things I did in 2018 - the atmosphere was lovely, teaching was great, I walked away with a lovely skirt and both a thirst & the confidence to dive into more (beginner level) projects. Would really recommend this!

Beginners Dressmaking

Amie Kabia

I really enjoyed this class! Tracey and Jaime are both so welcoming and friendly and were helpful in answering questions I had before starting the class. My sessions were with Jaime, who is an excellent teacher! She was very patient and helped us every step of the way. This class is perfect for beginners and very practical so you learn by doing, plus there are handouts for you to refer back to. I would recommend to anyone!  

Thank you so much! I had a great time and would highly recommend this course.

Kate Munro

Excellent class - sewing explained in a very accessible way for a beginner.

Learn to Sew: Make A Skirt

Kim Samuel 

So much fun, great set by step instruction, friendly environment, would highly recommend! 

Chloe Kazantzis

I've found the tutor Kate on beginners dressmaking how to make a skirt to be so lovely and helpful. Emailing with Tracey has been easy to get in touch and ask questions, let them know if I am unable to make a session. I can thoroughly recommend and really enjoying my class, it's fast paced but they also take steps slowly 

Renee O'Drobinak

Really enjoyed the course - it was a very relaxed and friendly vibe throughout. Our instructor, Kate, was knowledgeable and lovely. 

Nancy Burgess

This course was so much fun, and so friendly. I found the fabulous Kate to be a wonderful teacher: so precise, helpful and encouraging. I have gone from hapless novice to confident sewer within a few short weeks. I would highly recommend Make Mee courses to anyone who wants to start sewing lovely things for themselves.

Shireen Aga

A great course, you come away with a step by step booklet and pattern for you to make your own skirts at home.  The group was small so I think everyone had the support they needed. Lots of very useful hints and tips too! 
Loved it!

In this 6 week course we'll make a bespoke skirt while learning essential dressmaking techniques you'll use time and time again.

Question 1

Please tell us your approximate dress size on the bottom half so we can ensure we have the right number of patterns in each size. (We will help you measure in the first session to get it perfect.) 

Question 2

Do you want a pencil skirt or a-line skirt?

\*\*You Can Sew Your Own Wayyyyyy…\*\*This is the perfect class for people who want some support for levelling up their sewing skills with tailored (pun intended) guidance and advice.

We keep the class size small so you get plenty of attention.

You can bring along a project you’re working on OR you can work on one of our specially selected projects with our guidance.

You can book for just one class or book a bundle to come to a few.

We welcome sewers of all levels, including beginners but you do need to know the basics, like how to thread the machine. (We won’t have scope to show you this during the session, come to one of our [absolute beginners courses](https://www.makemeestudio.co.uk/adults) if that’s what you need.)

\
**From January we will be running Mondays 18.30 - 20.30 & Wednesdays 19.00 - 21.00 every week!**

We are increasing the number of sessions will give you more opportunities to book & more flexibility.

NEW FOR 2026 - In addition to bringing your own project to Sew Your Own Way, you can now also book our popular next steps dressmaking courses as project bundles and tackle them whenever you want! This is perfect for people that want to have a little more structure to these sessions or for people who wanted to join the courses below but couldn’t make a fixed course!

The projects you can choose from are:

[Click here to read more about each of these classes!](https://www.makemeestudio.co.uk/sew-your-own-way-bundle-classes).

- Just choose your project, book your bundle, choose your dates, (they don’t have to be consecutive weeks, make the course work for you!) We just ask that you use the bundle sessions within 3 months.

- We’ve predicted how long on average we think each project will take, some people may be quicker which means you get an extra session to freestyle. Or you may need to top up with another session depending on how quickly you work.

If you know what you're doing but you want some company whilst you sew check out our [Sewcial](https://makemeestudio.widget.obby.co.uk/event/the-sewcial-1620766979).

**Materials**

We have a selection of fabrics and trims in the studio which you can purchase or you can bring your own. You can bring your own machine if you want to practise on it or use ours.

I attended a sewing surgery last week to make a second pair of trousers. As I had already completed the trouser-making course, I was able to see how much I had progressed. I was able to make the second pair with much less assistance. The teachers were on hand at all times to help me, and their reassurance and praise gave me the confidence to work much more independently than the first time. I feel a real sense of achievement. 

One of the best things about the studio is it has an overlocking machine. This means I was able to make the hems on my trousers look professional, and vastly improves the quality of the garment. There is no difference in quality than something that has been bought in a shop, except I got to design it myself. 

Thank you for such a great experience

I had an amazing time at the sewing surgery. I wanted to take in and hem a skirt and don’t have that much experience. The teachers were so helpful and patient with me! My skirt looks great and I can now wear it again. I would definitely reccomend to a friend.

Tracey and Jamie are both excellent tutors. They have lots of different machines to use, including two overlockers. Nothing is too much trouble you even get home made cake! They even have an answer for the most difficult sewing fabrics! Definitely recommend going along with any sewing project you are stuck on.

Loved the class. I am a real beginner but Tracey was patient , helpful and fun.  I took a shirt with me to take in and came away with a properly fitting garment !  
Yeah.  And the tea and cake was a bonus

I really enjoyed this class. My new year's resolution has been to get back into sewing, and I was looking for a class that would allow me to get stuck in! Make Mee was perfect for this - Jaime was a great teacher, reminding me of the various skills I had forgotten, while helping me to take up a pair of trousers at the same time!

Not to mention the stunning "Garden Studio" - so cosy! And delicious brownies to accompany the workshop. What could be better. Would highly recommend.

Rosie

Sessions at the sewing surgery have helped me rediscover my enjoyment of sewing - something I'd not done since my teens but am now doing every week. 

With the help of Jaime and Tracey I'm finishing my second fully-fitted, super-funky dress and am beginning to work independently, sewing other items at home based on the patterns and techniques I've learned. 

I've been given plenty of patient but invaluable advice, learned crafty shortcuts and am thoroughly thrilled to be able to use my new-found sewing skills to express my personal style.

Sewing Surgery Socials

Eon glenn

For my first attendance I really found the sewing surgery welcoming & helpful. Jaime has much technical knowledge in areas of sewing that i myself is looking for. So I'm looking forward to going back. 

Eon 

Emily Beadle

Chrissa

Jaime has helped me to master sewing a cushion cover. It's something I've wanted to do for a long time. She has given me the confidence and knowledge to expertly craft a cushion cover of a standard suitable for retail. The classes are small enough to receive one on one care and I also felt very comfortable. I highly recommend MakeMeeStudio.

Wendy Monaghan

Absolutely amazing. I am a novice at sewing and Tracey made me feel very welcome at the sewing social. Levels of skill varied and all of us received the right level of support and encouragement. It was a friendly and relaxed social atmosphere and I would definitely recommend this to anyone at any level of sewing ability. 

Nigel Mullan

Jaime and Tracey are both excellent teachers and their studio is a lovely, light, friendly and welcoming space. I've gone from complete beginner to competent in a few weeks thanks to their help and guidance.

Kathie

Love the venue, a lovely little sewing room down the garden path. Tracey & Jaimie are both lovely people, very welcoming. I am so very happy that I  found them & I enjoy meeting other ladies on my sewing days as well as working towards completing my project

Kathryn Pearson

Tracey and Jaime provided a very friendly, welcoming atmosphere in which to tackle the various sewing projects that everyone brought with them.  They are a fount of knowledge and did a great job of spending time with everyone even though we were all working on completely different things.  I have been to the sewing surgeries a number of times now and its always a friendly bunch - and not forgetting the cake!  Would recommend it to anyone who is keen to progress their sewing in a friendly and fun group.

Elaine 

Loved my two experiences at the Sewing Surgery Social!
Great teacher, I don’t know how she manages to help all of us with such different projects!
Made a dress into a skirt and some knickers! 
Gluten free cake was made especially for me even!

Natalie Lartey 

Hi,

I learnt to measure a simple pattern and pin it in place. Then I was taught to thread the sewing machine and use it. I am a total beginning with only a tiny bit of sewing experience from years ago and I had a great time. The venue and facilities were fab, tea and cake was great. My teacher was fun and attentive, couldn’t have asked for more. 

Vicki Hawkins

Jaime and Tracey have helped me fulfil my lifelong dream of learning to sew. After confidence knocking nightmares from my school days and bad experiences on other courses i didn't think i would see the day but their friendly, down to earth and positive natures make you feel un-judged and like you can achieve anything. 
On top of my lack of confidence, i came with a time sensitive project and booked last minute and Jaime went out of her way to help me finish on time, and her varied skillset and expert knowledge means she can give advice on a range of projects.
I highly recommend make mee, especially if you are a bit anxious about starting because the atmosphere is very chilled and accepting. 

Rose Braithwaite

You can take any project with you and get great advice if you want it or just use their lovely sewing machines and do your own thing.  A small group of no more than six people with either Tracy or Jamie there to help when you need it.  A good mix of skills so as a relative beginner I didn't feel out of place..and really nice to see what I could end up making with more practice.  A creative and chilled session!

Sarah Longson

Being in Tracey's class felt like the perfect two hour hideaway. Time went so quickly and I managed to mend all the holes in one garment using a sewing machine for the first time - with Tracey's help of course. 

All Covid-19 secure measures were put in place making it a safe environment and it was lovely having other class members there working on their own projects.

I'll definitely be back.

Sewing Surgery 

Anthony Mee

Dianne Ritchie

Very helpful advice, tips and sewing hints.  All machines and haberdashery items I needed were available and in good working order. Small group all working on personal projects - very friendly and encouraging of each other.  
Will go again!

Alice 

The teachers are experts on all aspects of sewing and dressmaking. They are extremely patient, with lots of tips on pinning, cutting, how to use the sewing machine and overlocker. I really enjoyed spending time in the studio and was really pleased with the progress I made on my project.

Susie Forman

I have a reasonable amount of home sewing experience but this new project presented fresh challenges and I have been going around in circles with it on my own at home. Spending a couple of hours with Jamie on hand was really helpful. I'm definitely going to book another session. I feel extremely lucky to such help right on my doorstep.

Ayse Hassan

Rosemary Hattersley

Fantastic extended session - the extra hour made a huge difference as I was starting a new project so there was lots of prep: deciding on placement of pattern pieces with a very bold print, then cutting it all out. 
I’d taken along several pattern options and some expensive dress fabric, so it needed to be right. The advice snd help I received was spot on: make a toile as a practice piece rather than risk a poorly fitting dress made with a pattern I’d not tried before. Although making a toile means it will take longer to make the dress I’d planned, I was able to buy some fantastic fabric on the day for a nominal amount and, of course, will end up with two incredible dresses eventually - and confidence in the skills I’ve learned along the way. 
The studio had absolutely everything I need and lots of space for cutting out, even though several others were also cutting out patterns there. The knowledge and advice plus the friendly tutors make learning to sew there a real joy! 

Natalie Ashworth

I had a great time learning how to make dungarees.  Josh was a great teacher and very patient and fun. It was a great way to escape for a couple of hours and create something. I would highly recommend the classes. 

Samantha Herelle

Had a lovely time at the sewing surgery. Very relaxed atmosphere and lots of equipment. Joss was very helpful and I sorted my sewing problem. Would recommend 

Heidi Anderton

So much help and support to get me back on track with my project. Answered all my questions and was a fun 2 hours. Definitely be back and recommend. 

Sam Shortt

Fantastic! I was working on a project at home and got stuck - the surgery was the perfect opportunity for me. The teacher, Amelie spotted a mistake and was able to give me the little bit of help and confidence I needed to complete my project. The space at Crofton Park Library is lovely - a calm yet purposeful space which was a joy to work in. Will definitely be back in the future. 

Caroline  Chin

I drove a long way from a Kent village and paid ulez !! But worth every penny in what I wanted to learn , I was taught and shown , really good and I’ll be going again 

Sewing Surgery: 1-2-1 Advice and Guidance

Zaffrin O'Sullivan

The most wonderful sewing studio, I have made so many things, discovered how to use a sewing machine and always come away feeling great for the time spent making. Love this place, my kids love it too.  

Alice Grahame

The class was excellent. I got my sewing project completed thanks to the expert tuition, space, equipment and time out of the house to focus on it. The tutor Josh was very patient and encouraging. I was delighted with the completed items. 

kate guyan

I really enjoyed this class. I came with a garment I was stuck with but left knowing what I needed to do to rectify it! 

Charlene Musgrave

As always an enjoyable session with support for people that may need a little additional help in their projects. 

Peter McEntire

Thank you team Make Mee. 
I really enjoyed my time on Friday. 
I found everyone to be very friendly, patient and knowledgeable.
As a beginner, I was shown how to fit a zip to a small bag, something I had previously thought would be too difficult for me to do.
Keep up the good work!

Meg Wells

So kind and welcoming - and no question is a stupid question!

Tati Howell

I have learned a lot (though still have lots to learn) at these friendly and accessible classes. And I LOVE my new jacket.

bethany  simpkin

Amazing ! I was enthusiastically helped with a project to sew a crown. The staff are a font of knowledge and patience. They even fixed my sewing machine whilst I used theirs. 

They make you feel like no question is stupid and there is no limit to creativity. 
Huge fan. 

faith.abiolaellison@gmail.com • faith.abiolaellison@gmail.com •

I spent a wonderful two hours falling back in love with my sewing machine and sewing. 
A small class of four people , but sewing stations for at least 12 people with use of an overlocker and ironing board. 
Make Mee Studios has great resources, session staff and accessible location in Crofton Park. Treat yourself!

I regularly sew at home but when faced with a tricky new challenge or for an extra pair of hands for a fitting, these Sew Your Own Way sessions are a god send. It’s also just lovely to see with other people for a change.

Silvia Fernandez

I really like attending Make Mee Studio, learning new sewing techniques  and making new friends.

Fabulous place to enjoy sewing and make friends!

Emma Tye

I was struggling for ages with a sewing machine at home that I didn't know was broken. I came in and got my confidence in sewing back, with the knowledge that it wasn't my sewing and my home machine was indeed broken.

I can't think of a better way to spend time: sewing with Make Mee Studio!

Erin Walker

Really enjoyed the drop-in help session, "Sew your own way". Nice sewing machines, very cute space. I would recommend, and will be booking again. Thank you.

Sebastian Calver

The studio was a really calming way to spend an evening, Sophie was a great help and taught to my skill level ability, giving me a new skill, many thanks to the team! 

Silvia Fernandez 

When the weather is not the best, this is the best place to be and on top of that sewing paradise!

Lara Platt

Another great class, made more progress on my project and a sense of wellbeing on my way home from it.

I love the sewing sessions! What a way to spend your time! Making friends and learning to sew.  I highly recommend MakeMee 

emmakayrob@gmail.com

Loved my sessions of Sew Your Own Way! Never thought I would be able to make my own bag and top but I love them both. Amelia was a great support and so helpful. Can’t wait to come back for more sessions!

I highly recommend spending time here: sewing and making friends is the right way to do it!

Great choice for sewing and making friends!

Angela Martin

My first lesson was awesome, I skipped home feeling like I had achieved something! At 59 years old to start using a sewing machine and making a tote bag, is pretty much a big deal to me. Great teacher, lovely atmosphere. Can’t wait to go back. Angie 

Emma Hunter

Absolutely loved this drop in session. Went with a cushion cover project, Marcus was a great help. Will definitely return with another sewing challenge soon.

Great space and I loved sewing with new friends

Maryam Saleemi

Amazing, great teacher, so much knowledge and had a great time learning. Got all my patterns cut in the 2 hours :) 

Lesley Rahamim

I've been sewing for many years but I learned new skills from this class as well as fixing my problem. I had tried to shorten a dress and make it into a tunic but I couldn't get the hem straight. Thanks to the knowledgeable class tutor, I learned how to level a hem and how to use an overlocker. I also picked up other sewing hints from the other participants.  Thank you.



Anna Post

Jaime and Annie have been so supportive and friendly. For a beginner with rusty sewing skills like me it's great to feel that you can ask anything and not be self conscious about 'getting it wrong'. Equipment is all provided and the booking system is easy. I'm doing a bundle course and the pattern is simply drafted and instructions easy to follow.

Having trouble with a sewing project? Come along to our Sew Your Own Way session for personalised guidance from our experienced teachers.

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. 

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.

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!

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.
