London Sewing Courses is a small sewing school based in Edmonton, North London, offering friendly, practical sewing classes in London for adults who want to learn to sew, develop their existing skills or explore dressmaking. Their small group sewing classes are taught by seamstress and community tutor Grace Barrett, who has more than ten years of teaching experience, allowing learners plenty of individual guidance and time at the sewing machine.
Their beginner sewing classes in London are suitable for complete beginners as well as those returning to sewing after a break. Learners are introduced to setting up and using a sewing machine, basic stitches and seams, essential sewing tools and completing a simple project to take home. Sewing machines, tools and basic materials are provided, making the classes an accessible way to learn to sew in London without needing your own equipment.
For those ready to progress further, London Sewing Courses offers private sewing lessons in North London, tailored around individual garments, fitting questions or particular sewing techniques. There is also an eight-week beginner dressmaking course, guiding learners through making a sleeveless, button-front dress with a flared skirt, with fabric, patterns and sewing machine use included.
Classes are primarily held in Edmonton, welcoming learners from Enfield and across the wider North London area, while private lessons can also take place at the learner's home. Alongside its adult sewing classes, London Sewing Courses has a strong community focus: a portion of every adult class fee helps fund free children's sewing classes in London for disadvantaged children and teenagers aged 9–18.
