Welcome to the Stepford Studio Sessions - Sewing Classes - Bring Your Own Projects - Pay As You Go - 1:1 & Group Tuition - Pre-loved & Pop Up Sessions - Sustainable Textile Explorations & more... If you have a project you've started, an idea of something you'd love to try, or you're just keen to develop your sewing skills, you'll be supported to bring you

r design ideas to life. With over 20 years experience, course tutor, Sarah, will guide each course attendee with technical advice, boosting your confidence and your sewing skill set, with tips and ideas to take away with you on your design & dressmaking journey. We keep the courses small, with a maximum of 6 students per class, so you are guaranteed the time and attention needed to grow your knowledge and creativity. The Bring Your Own Project Sessions run from 6.30 til 9pm, with an additional 30 minutes added to the beginning of each session, to allow time to set up and prepare, giving you a full 2.5 hours of tuition in a friendly and supportive learning environment.
10 week Courses cost Β£225. Our Saturday Pay As You Go Sessions, offer the same supportive tuition, over a 6 hour session. Saturdays are popular with students who want time to really get into their creative flow. You can pay for a single Saturday, Β£75, or block book the 4 sessions at a total cost of Β£225 (a saving of 25%). The Pop Up Workshops 'A Make In A Day', are full of fun and inspiration. 4 - 6 hours of tuition, in a relaxed atmosphere with likeminded creatives. We provide the patterns, fabrics and lunch! And you go home with a unique make, all of your own! The 2024 Pop Ups will include the fabulous Upcycle Blanket Jacket, the Two Tone Tote Bag and Beginners Sessions too! They are hugely popular and classes fill up fast...So get in touch to get involved! This year, we'll also be adding new Pop Up options and trying out new design ideas...so watch this space!

1:1 and Group bookings are also available on request. These can be booked as individual sessions or block booked for great discounts. Gift Vouchers are available for Stepford Sessions. DM the page for more information, or email [email protected]

Another opportunity to join local Craftivist .mairi and co-create the "Scrolling For Hope Project"

Fiona says: 'With world events weighing heavily on our hearts and minds at the moment, maybe it's time for another creative project where we can join together and send out a positive message'.

This event is one of a number of workshops Fiona will be holding across Dorset to bring the project to life.

At the workshops you will be guided through the creative process, provided with materials, textiles and gentle tuition, to contribute your voice, and your creativity, to this wonderful community textile exploration.

Everyone is welcome, no previous textiles experience needed.

Just plenty of enthusiasm and hopes to share. πŸ₯°

To register, please get in touch.

Spaces are FREE! Registration in advance is essential

Shout out to our Birthday Queen TP and her exceptionally fabulous fit!
This year's challenge at the Studio was to upskill on a trouser making project that included french seams, panels, added in-seam pockets, a concealed zip and bespoke fitting to her unique waist shape - something that has meant off the peg fits never quite hit the mark.
Properly out of the comfort zone sewing and mixed in with a gorgeous upcycle of her hubbies cute shirt to create a one of a kind outfit 🀩
There were moments when these pants almost didn't make it but the perseverance definitely paid off !
Happy Birthday Miss, I hope you're swanning around looking lovely in your fancy pants πŸ‘– πŸ’™πŸ₯³

Dropped by Weymouth yesterday to get my hands on their brand new pattern stock from Tilly and the Buttons , Friday Pattern Company and more...

As an exclusive Weymouth retailer you can grab your copies directly from them and benefit from their expert fabric and notion matching advice and guidance.

They have stocked up on a range of beginner friendly options and will be adding to their collection throughout the year, as well as developing pattern and fabric bundles for you to purchase as a starter pack to get you confidently moving forward on your sewing journey.

Watch out later in the year for some collaborative sessions where there will be opportunities to create garms from their starter pack collection.
