Want to learn practical skills, get creative, and make your clothes truly yours — for free?

Join our **Youth Sewing Workshop** — no experience needed!

Thanks to funding from ECCAN, we’re running **FREE Sewing Workshops** for young people aged **14–21**. Whether you’re brand new to sewing or already have a few DIY projects under your belt, this is your chance to build useful skills, gain confidence, and have fun.

Sewing is a powerful skill — it’s creative, eco-friendly, good for your mental health, and helps reduce waste by reworking or repairing clothes instead of throwing them away.

### **A Taste of What You Can Do:**

- **Learn the basics of sewing with a machine** — step by step, even if you’ve never used one before. You’ll make a washbag, tote bag, or your own creation to practise.

- **Explore seams and finishing techniques** — the building blocks of sewing.

- **Try out alterations and hems** — make your clothes fit better or change up their style.

- **Learn mending skills** — from hand-stitching to dry felting, discover how repairs can be creative.

- **Rework your own item** — bring something you love but don’t wear, or a piece that needs fixing, and give it a new life.

We’ll provide all the equipment and some materials. And yes, there’ll be cookies too!

It’s not just about sewing — the club is also a chance to hang out with others your age, share ideas, and relax in a welcoming space. You’ll leave with new skills, confidence, and a sense of belonging to a community that values creativity, sustainability, and self-expression.

Parker- jorjah  Anderson-brown 

Absolutely fabulous. 
Posting on behalf of my daughter. 
She  did 2 courses with remode collective. 
She is very young(10) extremely keen and now full of inspiration. 
My daughter is autistic and has ADHD . Her teacher was full of knowledge (Rita) 
I would like to say a massive thankyou. 
Definitely will be back and excited to learn more . 
Thanks PJ 

Andrea Fraser

I very much enjoyed the course in basic dressmaking. It was good revision for me as I haven't sewn much for several years, and it has encouraged me to get going again, with more confidence. 

Julian Ellis-Brown

An excellent introduction to sewing techniques, I brought my own small project which I was able to complete within the time - highly recommend!

Isabel Simpson

Really enjoyed  this class, would recommend to anyone wishing to start  sewing  . 🧵

Patrick Dunne

The workshop was very good. Very welcoming and helpful. I am as complete beginner but have signed up for a 4 week dressmaking course with remode as a result of this course!

Jen Harris

Friendly knowledgeable teacher and a good class size, small enough that you could get personal attention when you needed it but also good to have others there with their own questions etc. Definitely recommend this for anyone who's a complete beginner or like me just very very rusty!

Elise

really enjoyed the class. First time using a sewing machine and felt I got a grasp on the basics.  Also surprised by how much I enjoyed learning some new hand sewing stitches. The class was small and the teacher so lovely. Would definitely recommend! 

Juno Neal

I really enjoyed the workshop, Grace was lovely and explained everything really well, the project was fun and I had a great time! 

Alexandra Birch

My girls had a wonderful time and learned a lot! 

Basic sewing :  A Lifetime Skill 

Shona Kelt

Great 3 hours going over the basics, with a machine and by hand.  Small group so very easy to ask questions and make sure we all understood.   Great help/advise for mending clothes.  My daughter (16) got some material and did a fantastic job of fixing her jacket with the stitches she had learnt. 

Leona 

I learned how to thread the machine and how to do different stitches, teacher was very friendly, venue was okay but comfy seats would be good, used my own machine which was great.

Adrienne Zitt

Fab workshop, lovely atmosphere, and I walked home having learned basic stitches and mended a dress. Now keen to purchase a sewing machine for the first time in my life! Thanks Jen :-)

Antonia Clark

Francia was really welcoming and friendly and taught us LOADS in the short time we had. I’m so pleased to practice new skills and hopefully book in some more courses. 

Vicky  Dougal

Fantastic class and teacher.  Will certainly do another class

Rebecca Petrie

Francia was an incredible teacher. Very knowledgeable and supportive. She really made me feel like I could do whatever I set my mind to! I definitely would say I've been inspired to follow this new-found hobby through, go to another class and keep adding to my skills. So excited to one day own my own sewing machine!

Monica Mateiu

This company has some very shady practices. I was looking forward to the course, but five days before I had to cancel due to family issues and a work trip. Any other similar programmes would allow you to reschedule and join a future course, seeing as you've already PAID for it. Not Remode Collective. I asked to join a course at the end of June, giving them a month's notice. They refused to confirm, saying they'll first see if the course gets filled, and then accommodate me if it doesn't. And by 'accommodate' they mean they'll let me know 'a few days before the course starts'. So they prioritise new customers over the ones who've already paid, but not received the service they paid for. They take your money and if you have to cancel within less than 10 days, you don't get a refund or the choice to attend a future course that suits you.

Great workshop in basic skills, which helped me finally pluck up the courage to get my new sewing machine out of plastic and start practicing stitches. Highly recommend!

Joanna Squiban

I really enjoyed the Basic sewing class last night, Kerry was absolutely brilliant! Very fun and professional. I learned a lot of tips for mending my clothes and I would love to attend another class soon! 

Beck Elphinstone

Cerri gave us an over view of different ways in which to repair various items of clothing to prevent them going to landfill. We covered different mending techniques, practiced a few key stitches. We each brought an item of clothing to obtain advice as to how to go about fixing. I took a wholly jumper. Which I have now completed repairing. Result, I will wear it proudly tomorrow! Thank you Cerri! ❤️🪡🧵

Trent Jennings

Fantastic introduction to sewing and great explanation of when and how to apply stitches for clothing repairs. Will be exploring this more. Thanks

Caroline Murray

This was a brilliant course that gave me the basic skills I need to use a sewing machine.  Having only 4 people on the course meant the instructor had plenty of time to answer our questions and give us bespoke advice.

Faith Palmer -Barrett

The course is super basic and packed with tips so really good for beginners. I already do a lot of hand stitching but it was nice to be officially taught so I don't feel like I'm free styling every 
project so much.

Angelene McGinty

Really enjoyed this course - so much so , I'm hoping to sign up for the 4 week dressmaking course in the NY.  The instructor was very knowledgeable and I felt I took a lot of useful info away with me.  Nice class size (we should have been 5 but someone had to cancel so we were 4 which meant we had loads of time to ask questions etc).  Would definitely book with Remode again.  

Ania Lipczynska

Andreas Makas

Was a really great experience! Definitely would move on to the more advanced courses. 

Rachel Watson

Great course, the teacher was very patient and experienced, explaining all methods and problems that we encountered. We left feeling more confident and like we had learnt a lot

Lidia Brocchin

This is a great course if you want to learn the basics skills of how to use a machine and not just that,  you can bring an item to be repaired including hand sewing, the class is small so a lot of individual attention.  Annika was really good.

Violet Pappe

Amazing! Everyone was so nice and teacher was very easy to follow. We did not have enough time to try the different settings.

Katarzyna Lichtarska

A great place and a nice experience to be able to learn practical skills. 

Nadja Mair

Very relaxed atmosphere and small group allowed teacher to tailor (no pun intended) the session to our individual needs. Am already thinking about which class to book next.

Sarah Hutchison

Amazing class, very helpful, and definitely teaches you a lifetime skill!

Liz Sheppard

Fantastic class and learned so much in one session. I used a sewing machine for the very first time, and also a couple of hand sewing stitches to enable me to finally mend a bag. Can't wait to sign up for another session. Thank you!

Sewing Machine Skills

Margaret Ritchie

An enjoyable class, with a skilled, helpful and friendly teacher

Rebecca Nurlu

I had such an amazing time at my basic sewing skills lesson. The equipment used was perfect for a beginner and I walked away from it with the confidence to use my sewing machine at home (setup, settings and more). Not only was my instructor absolutely lovely and very patient, the class format meant I acquired the skills to work on a variety of tasks. In my class I walked away with a very cute large pencil holder (which I now use as a travel makeup bag) and also fixed two items I had brought in. I think I’ve already saved in tailoring fees what I spent on the class! Looking forward to attending another class soon. 

Scott Dawson

Great tutoring and a very accessible class

Sewing Machine Skills - Make a pouch with us!

Liz Sutherland

Thoroughly enjoyed this course - well paced, supportive teachers, small group, excellent machines and materials….didn’t feel at all intimidated by my total lack of experience as teachers and student group so encouraging - hoping to do another course on quilting very soon.

Ruth  Ross

I very much enjoyed the evening. The instructor was very nice, patient and thorough. I was pleasantly surprised to come away with something I had made. I would recommend this course to anyone wanting to learn how to use a sewing machine.

Eleftheria  Minopoulou 

Amazing experience! I still can't believe that I made my own pouch with out any prior experience!  Now I m more confident to create my own projects!  Thank you very much! 

Sewing Machine Skills - Make a pouch with us or mend your clothing!

Jacqui

Very friendly teacher, no question a problem. She had the upmost confidence in us all and enjoyed our surprise, when we realised we could make something!

Leona  Douglas 

What a great course, Francine was the best teacher so patient helped everyone no matter what level they were at and showed everything step by step, I will definately do more courses as I feel so much more confident after this one, this is the second one I’ve done and this was the best by far 🙂

Celine Forez

Very happy with my pouch at the end of the class.
Tables are a bit wobbly and I think the class would benefit from printed instructions! But happy with how the final product turned out! Would recommend! 

Sian Hickson

The class was great and it was so satisfying to learn a new skill. Good value for money.

Katarzyna Langowska

Work course was truly the most engaging I’ve ever done.  Genuinely enjoyable and certainly useful.

Simona  Zhou

Loved this 3h workshop and it was lovely to be able to see the pouch at the end of the class and to take it home to show off  (despite all the imperfections) 😅. The teacher Jen was very experienced and patient, particularly with a beginner like me who never used a sewing machine before. 
I personally would have liked to have some keys notes to take home (or sent electronically) for future reminders/reference. But I would definitely recommend it to anyone interested to learn and gain confidence in starting machine sewing. It’s such a great skill to have to mend clothes, alter and create your unique pieces to save money and embark on a slow fashion movement. 🌿

Joanna Young

Excellent for learning the basics for using a sewing machine

Tom Pringle

Excellent! Does what it says in the tin, and more.
I only wanted to learn how to use a sewing machine to do simple hems.  I should point out that sewing machines have slightly intimidated me for decades so I would have been happy just to make the thing stitch straight lines.  But within no time our teacher had us all parctising our 'driving test' sewing backwards, forwards, changing direction and turning curves.  Then we were doing edges and zips and corners. Before I knew it we had all made a toiletries bag style zipped pouch.  Mine is a bit wonky, but I love it and I really surprsied at myself.  All this is down to the fantastic teacher who took care of every one of us, encouraging and guiding us every step of the way.  I would recommend the course to anyone wanting to learn this  incredibly useful, and sadly underrated, life skill. I'm now planning the course to attend. 


Rachel Ferguson

This is the second time I've done the class and I really enjoyed it. I ended up being the only attendee, so I was very grateful for the class still going ahead despite this.  As well as making a pouch we also repaired a hat. The teacher (I think her name was Jen but I'm not 100% sure!) was lovely and patient, I'd definitely go again!

Manel Bouazza

I am thrilled to have engaged in the course, the mentor is amazing! her instructions were so clear and straightforward that you can’t go wrong with them. It was an overall wonderful experience that I keep recommending to my sewing lovers friends. Keep up the great work!

Jessica Sweet

Great class! Detailed instruction from the very patient teacher and very friendly environment. Would repeat or take another offering!

Karolina Korthals

Great class teaching basic sewing machine skills. Highly recommend for beginners 

Clare Gibson

What a fun way to spend a morning! This class was pitched just right for a beginner like me. Francia was super welcoming, patient and made the learning fun.  I have now borrowed a sewing machine from a friend and will get experimenting!

Alex Cunningham

Great introductory class,  very clear teaching and a really inviting space!

Rosemarie  Downie

Had a very interesting time!!learnt  lots. Tutor was informative and patient!!looking forward to my next class 

Rachel Meacock

An excellent class which goes over all the essentials of learning how to use a sewing machine. Excellently paced and the small class size is great for getting feedback and catching any issues. 

Kaia Lichtarska 

Second class I took, it was amazing. I managed to alter a dress with the instructor's help. 

Kasia Zuk

I recently attended a sewing class and it was fantastic! The instructor was incredibly informative, patient, and super friendly. She made the whole experience enjoyable and easy to follow, especially for beginners. I had little to no experience with a sewing machine, but I felt completely comfortable and supported throughout the class. I would highly recommend this class to anyone who’s just starting out or looking to build their confidence with sewing. A great experience all around!

Helen Purves

I attended the sewing machine skills class to get to know my own machine better. It was a great thing to do as it allowed me time to experiment with different stitches, stitch lengths, speeds and learn what the different feet are for. The teacher was very patient and encouraging. Making the pouch with zip was an excellent exercise to check your basic skills. I definitely feel more confident to do more complex sewing now and look forward to signing up for more classes and workshops.

Textile Art/Mixed Media Workshop

Mairi Simpson

Loved the mixed media textile course i did with Anabel at Remode learnt a lot in  short space of time, can't wait till next week. Freindly relaxed environment and teacher.

lynette barrie

Great fun class, learned loads of techniques and Anabel was a great teacher. Would thoroughly recommend. 

Lucy  Schofield

really fun and inspiring. the possibilities are endless.. there should be places for doing this everywhere!!

Tamara Mulherin

That’s the 4th workshop I’ve done now. I’ve loved them all. In this mixed media workshop, Anabel  was such a great tutor, generous, fun and had so many practical tips to share. I am so happy with what I made and will definitely apply what I’ve learnt to other projects. I’ll definitely be back for more! 

Josephine Doorley Petersson 

Absolutely superb.  The teacher was full of ideas and inspiration.  Fantastic practical and artistic application.  Wonderful if this teaching was in schools 

Fiona Jack

Great class on fabric art techniques and I wish it would run as a more regular drop in. 

Sarah  Chun

Workshops with Remode  is as inspiring as always. I had joint the basic sewing class a while back and I must say it was transformative, since then I had been making various bits and bots. I was drawn to the art textile workshop as I had been wanting to continue to develop, I must say its one inspiring workshop! You get a lot of time with the tutor and Grace was very patient and knowledgeable. Not intimidating at all for a beginner :) Cant wait for the next workshop!

Gill Cockburn

Brilliant first part of workshop with Monika!   I thoroughly enjoyed it, learning  techniques for the project I was working on and understanding other things to try.  Great to see samples already made and being able to see different styles, colours and materials used. There was an amazing range of textiles and threads to choose from which was great!   

I would definitely recommended this workshop - it’s fun to try and with the expert help from Monika ! 





Gillian Davis

Absolutely loved this class - if you've ever wondered what to do with any scraps or odds and ends you have then this is the workshop for you.  A good mixture of guidance/inspiration and experimenting yourself using Remode's wonderful collection of scraps.

Debbie  Bayne

Great workshop - lots of fabrics and threads etc to work with and very good sewing machines. Small class size meant Monika had plenty of time for each participant, and she was very good at working with people’s ideas, rather than imposing anything. I liked it being split with two weeks between - gave me time to work on my piece at home. I was very pleased with what I produced. Would definitely recommend!

Quilting Plus: Advanced Techniques to Become a Confident Quilter

Leonor Rodriguez

I loved this course. Monica is a fantastic teacher, she explains techniques in a simple and very supportive way. You learn so much in a lovely environment. Group classes are small so you get a lot of help and attention. I did not know anything about quilting before and now I love it. The ethos of Remode is also fantastic. So I am definitely coming back.

Geraldine Fraser

This was a really enjoyable course where I learned and got to try out  5 more advanced patchwork and quilting techniques . I will use these both in general sewing /mending and altering  garments and also in quilt making in the future. I really enjoyed these two sessions. I also got  really useful feedback on my samples which I really appreciate. 

An overlocker is a type of sewing machine that uses multiple threads to seam fabric while also overcasting to cover raw edges. It is a beautiful (and very useful) piece of equipment, but they are a bit more complicated to use than regular sewing machines.

The small workshop size ensures valuable one-to-one teacher and participant time, allowing maximum engagement and assistance. 

If you are thinking about getting an overlocker or you already have one but you don't feel confident enough to use it, then our Overlocker Workshop is exactly what you need!

This 3 hours workshop is designed to walk you through the basics, build your confidence and teach you what you need to know to use this machine to its full potential.

We will cover:

• what parts the machine has and how they work

• how to thread your machine, and adjust the thread tension

• looking at the different types of seams and finishing techniques

• practice how to sew straight lines, curves, and turn corners

• how to maintain your machine, and prevent costly service charges


How to Use an Overlocker Sewing Machine

Overlocker Sewingmachine Workshop

Eileen Henry

I wish there were more stars.  What a great class. Rita explained everything clearly and patiently. I was using my own machine. Rita had taken time before the class to research information about the model. She had prepared fabrics on which we could practise. She took us through using the machine step by step. The last hour of the class involved making a little vest top, from pinning and cutting out the pattern to completion.  If you want to learn about overlockers, this is the class for you. You won't get a better teacher and you won't regret signing up. 

Zillah Jones

I bought an overlocker more than two years ago, it sat glaring at me and I was too overwhelmed by the number of spools to open the box and play. I'm now confidently threading the machine and starting  to experiment with simple projects. We'll worth the money

Sari  Turner-Black

This session was a good introduction to using an overlocker. I would recommend it to give confidence in understanding the basics. Lots of good information and tips. The teacher was lovely and very patient and helpful. 

Christine Fernand

Rita's class was a joy. Lovely, knowledgeable lady. I now have the confidence to start a project with my own interlocker. Thank you. 

Lynette Barrie

Was really unsure about how to work an overlocker and what it could do. It was totally demystified in this class. Excellent. 

Susan Irwin

Brilliant course and I learnt loads about how to thread and use an overlocker. I feel now that if and when I buy one I am more knowledgeable about what I need. Thank you

Geraldine  Fraser

Great workshop. I learned how to use my overlocker and used it on several fabric types and thicknesses. I feel confident using the machine now . 

Rowan Rush-Morgan

I was really glad I attended this intro to overlockers. I would recommend it to anyone before they purchase their own, to understand how they work, and what to look out for threading the overlocker seems a lot less daunting. 

Rosemary  Hector 

A really helpful time with an expert who gave me a wonderful hack in how to thread my overlocker. An excellent session with an inspired tutor. 

Karla Butler

I found the class to be excellent, with an informative and knowledgeable teacher, and a small, interactive group. Regardless of your sewing expertise, you leave the class with a substantial amount of practical knowledge and samples to practice at home on your overlocker machine, whether old or new. It would be highly beneficial to have an additional class focused on mastering the usage of the overlocker machine (Part 2).

Learn how to thread, understand tension, use and maintain your overlocker sewing machine!

Sewing difficult fabrics 

Catherine Galpin

Excellent course all aspects covered fully. Teacher went at a good pace and offered help along the way. I learnt lots of tips and it took the fear away from seeing tricky fabric types. 

Great tips for dealing with velvet, chiffon, leather and stretch. Plenty of time for practice too. Great.

Eileen 

I have always been worried about sewing velvet, organza and fabrics with stretch but Monika explained everything very clearly and simply. All materials and equipment were provided. The length of the class was perfect and as numbers were limited, there was plenty time for questions and help. The venue works well. Parking is tricky but there is plenty public transport. There is a cafe on site but for an evening class there are plenty of places nearby for refreshments. 

Fiona Innes

Very enjoyable class, learned techniques that will help when sewing my soft furnishings
