**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.

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.

Learn To Sew: Unisex Casual Basics 

Keith

 I learned to make a pair of lounging-about trousers which I now wear all the time at home, and a Raglan-sleeved, stretch-fabric sweater which I've worn every day to work, since. I have shown it off to work-mates and they have been astounded and amazed at my "talent" although I have been at pains to point out that my teacher (Jaime) was the reason it worked at all: informative, friendly, supportive, ever-ready to step in to avert (my own self-made) disasters, all the good things. The venue was very cool too. I aim to return and do workshops. I cannot praise Jaime and Tracey highly enough. Do it. It's extremely rewarding, good fun, and you share your time with some seriously wonderful fellow-travellers!

Tracey our teacher was really  informative and I learnt a lot. It was fun too with like minded people keen to learn. The class sizes here are never more than 6 (4 in our class) which means that you get all the attention that you need.  Which is great whether you’re a beginner, improver or experienced. She makes sure that the task meets your experience and challenges you a little!  Highly recommended.

Susie Harris

An absolutely thrilling experience!
Proof that it really is never too late to learn new skills. I made two professional looking items one slinky blouse and a pair of loose fitting summery/ floral pants. Jaime was so kind warm and friendly and showed infinite patience and made the whole experience so positive. The group was small (4-5) and Covid friendly with mask & social distancing. Everyone was kind and helpful. A really terrific course very well resourced. I thoroughly enjoyed it & recommend this sewing programme especially if you are a complete beginner.

The tutor is lovely and very helpful. I came a cross a few problems during my projects (entirely not her fault). She quickly came to my aid and helped me fix them

Yulee Foster

Really enjoyed the course! Learnt a lot and can’t wait to go back for another course :)

Amy Fox

Lovely, lovely class!! Teachers are wonderful and very patient! Would recommend to everyone! No prior experience necessary. Xx 

Kate Moorby

A fantastic course, the teachers are really knowledgeable and patient and the general vibe in the class is relaxed and friendly. I have come away having made a pair of trousers and a long T-shirt dress with a funky hood! Thank you Make mee - you'll be seeing me again! 

Lucy Menage

excellent course with really lovely instructors! I thoroughly enjoyed the 6 week course and it has inspired me to continue with clothes making! I hope to join a new class soon :) 

Marlene Osei-Asante

Such fun and knowledgable tutors ! Really enjoyed the class and looking forward to the following sessions!

Marida Maiorino

The casual basic class is a great way to approach sewing. I found the entire process well structured and fun and can’t recommend it more! Thank you so much Jamie and Josh for your care, support and patience during the classes and thank you for accommodating my silly design ideas! I truly loved it and look forward to the next ones 🦋

Diana Hidalgo

Jamie and Josh are the most patient and friendly sewing instructors on earth. I have enjoyed every day at Make Mee Studio. The projects adapt to your personal taste which is great. I will definitely be back for another course :) thank you both

Rosie Offord

Loved this course! Jamie and Josh are great teachers - definitely going to be coming back for more classes. ☺️

Joseph Bonser

Even as a complete beginner I had such a great time at the class and Jamie was extremely helpful and patient, and made sure I was happy with the end product. My trousers have had multiple compliments already! Would definitely recommend

Learn to Sew: Casual Basics

James Banks

I've loved this class - patient and helpful tutors who have made everything easy and fun to do, great for a complete beginner like me - am already looking to book my next class with them

Vicky  Adnitt 

Fantastic course. As a total beginner I felt the course went at the right pace and be the end of week 4 I was confident enough to have a go at my own creations at home. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. I would highly recommend it. 

Vladislava  Afenlieva 

I have done a couple of the beginner courses organised by Make Mee Studio and I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience. You learn the basics of sewing at your own pace, but with the support and encouragement of experienced instructors who are available to guide you, and answer any questions. The best advantage is the fact that you end up with a completed project, which as a beginner does miracles for your sewing confidence. Looking forward to taking up more classes in the future! 

Jessica Maye

Loved every minute of the Casual Basics class and am as proud as punch of my hoodie and trousers! The 6 weeks flew in and every session was so fun and informative. Amelia was a fabulous, welcoming and patient teacher and guided us all through many minor mishaps along the way - all part of the joy of learning! I’d absolutely recommend this to anyone wanting to get a grasp on the basics of garment construction and using a sewing machine! The studio is so cute too! 

Katy Jack

I feel so lucky to have this organistion in my beautiful local library! I really enjoyed the casual basics course where I made a jumper and a pair of trousers which I love!! Had very little skill beforehand but the tutors made it all feel really easy. A really friendly team create a relaxed and fun atmosphere. Highly recommend. 

Fionoualla Moriarty

The class was amazing and Janie was such an incredible and patient teacher!

Monica Kulara

Had my first session last night and it was wonderful! Jaime was very attentive and kind, she made me feel super confident even tho I had no experience at all with sewing. ;)

Valeria Toscana

Absolutely fantastic! In a short span of time I managed to have a new pair of trousers, a sweatshirt, and a lot more confidence about sewing that I completely lacked. I'll definitely be coming back for either another course or the sewing social! Would definitely recommend to anyone 

Elly Fenlon

I really enjoyed this course and learnt loads. Our teacher Amelia was amazing, and was accommodating of all our different needs (from complete beginners to more advanced beginners). I enjoyed learning how to personalise my trousers through choice of pockets, shortening them, taking them in at the sides, and using the overlocker, and I really appreciated all the help adjusting them. 

It's worth knowing that the studio has spare fabric to buy if you can't bring your own, and  the team are really flexible about making time up if you can't attend every session. So I wouldn't let either of those put you off going. 

Gaia Bini

A lovely and supporting environment for complete beginners as well as those with some experience. I've already asked for a sewing machine for my birthday ;)

Abigail  Whittingham

This is a great course! I’ve learned so much in such a short amount of time. The instructors are lovely, helpful and understanding of everyone’s abilities. They share lots of tips and the clothing you make has options so you can have different pockets and styles. Couldn’t recommend this enough. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for more courses!

Sarah-Joy Lewis

Absolutely fantastic course. The teachers were so great at explaining everything and I feel much more confident sewing now. Plus I have a new favourite sweatshirt!

TSZ YAN LAM

Wonderful sewing class in South London. As a complete beginner, the class truly helped me gain the confidence I need to sew at home. I eagerly anticipate every Wednesday evening session and greatly appreciate the small class arrangement, which allows for sharing lovely moments with both the teacher and classmates.

Ali Coleman

I absolutely adored my time in the Learn to Sew: Casual Basics course! Jaime's guidance was exceptional, and within just 6 weeks, I was able to craft trousers and a sweatshirt. The small class size made learning a breeze – plenty of opportunities for assistance and questions. Highly recommend this course! Already looking forward to diving into another one with Make Mee to further hone my newfound skills.

Nisha Kelley

First class was fantastic! Really helpful, friendly teachers, great with instructions and patient answering questions from a complete beginner! Would definitely recommend, and I'm sure I'll be signing up for more.

Jennifer Filby

The whole Make mee team are so welcoming and supportive - making any sewing challenge a breeze :) 

Anja Rekeszus

Casual Basics is a great course if you want to walk home with something you would actually like to wear! 
As a complete beginner who didn't even know how to use a sewing machine initially, I'd say it was quite challenging - but in a good way, I had so much fun and was looking forward to it every week! I stretched myself, learned a lot, and am very pleased with the result. 
Varian and Emilia are the most lovely and patient teachers you could wish for. I'm definitely coming back for more!

Rebecca Upton-Jones

I did the 6 week "Learn to Sew: Casual Basics" course and it was such a joy! The instructors, Varian and Amelia, were encouraging and friendly. The overall class environment was very relaxed and welcoming. I'm genuinely sad the course is over. I finished the course with a new hobby and a pair of trousers and a t-shirt that I'm very proud of.  Would definitely recommend this to anyone who's looking to pick up a new skill. I had 0 sewing experience previously and I now feel confident about starting projects on my own. 

gabbie

So much fun, and really learned a lot! Everyone so lovely, friendly and helpful - thank you 

Isobel Sherlock

The classes have been amazing, would recommend!

Chelsea Carvalho

The classes are fun and engaging, there's plenty of opportunity to ask questions, and the teachers are always ready to help when you're stuck. This has been a fun project, and I can't wait to enrol in more sewing classes! Thank you

Charlie Hearl

brilliant classes. Jamie and her team are super helpful, patient and supportive, and the quality of the things we made was much higher than I would have thought. Absolutely recommend! 

Paola Totaro

Jaime and her team are fun, patient, calm and helped me go from seeing my sewing machine as the enemy to loving it. I cannot recommend this six week course enough - already planning the next one!

Celine Guillaumet

The course is the perfect way to learn to sew with confidence. The team is very friendly and supportive and it's a good way to meet like-minded people with whom to share tips and creative ideas. 

Judy Edwards

This course was so much fun. Teachers were lovely and helpful, I learnt loads and came away with two garments! 

Learning to sew doesn’t have to be so formal! Start your journey by making a pair of trousers and a sweatshirt. 

Question 1

Please tell us your approximate dress size on the top and bottom 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.) 

This is one of our personal favourite patterns! The Paper Theory Zadie Jumpsuit is a stylish, relaxed wrap over jumpsuit. There are no fastenings, just a tie but this means it’s a great pattern to leap into the world of adapting and adjusting a pattern to suit your preferences. You can make a long or short sleeve version. 

You’ll learn how to make your own binding or create your own facing, we’ll be sewing pleats and adding slanted trouser pockets. 

If you’re thinking, jumpsuits never fit me, we can help! We’ve chosen this pattern to run as one of our courses as the genius Tara over at Paper Theory has designed it in a way that makes it easy to adapt the fit. 

We'll spend dedicated time teaching you how to adapt the pattern for your body. We’ll discuss the importance of body rise and making sure you’ve got good coverage in the bodice. 

This course is suitable for adventurous beginners. We do ask that you can thread and use a sewing machine to take part in this course, even if you have very basic knowledge! If you think you’ll just need a quick reminder that’s fine. 
If you want to take on this challenge but can’t use a sewing machine yet. Book on to our beginners learn to sew a cushion or a tote before you start. 
You can work at your own pace, we have plenty to keep you occupied whatever your level. We know clothes making can seem like a daunting prospect at first but it's easy when you know how! It gives you the opportunity to be unique and creative with your style. It's a great way to relax and unwind, make new creative friends and you can become part of the growing Make Mee Community.

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. 

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