One-on-One Lessons
Heidi offers personalised one-on-one sewing lessons for all skill levels — from absolute beginners learning to thread a machine to intermediate sewers wanting to tackle more complex garments. Sessions run for 2 hours and meet weekly or fortnightly, depending on your schedule. Between sessions, Heidi provides specific assignments to build skills progressively.
What You'll Learn
Lesson content is tailored to your goals. Common tracks include: foundation skills (machine operation, basic seams, cutting, pressing), garment construction (fitting, pattern work, structural garments), costume construction (armour, structured bodices, special materials), and advanced techniques (corsetry, tailoring, historical methods).
Project Consultations
If you're working on a specific project and need expert input, hourly project consultations are available. This works well for experienced sewers who hit a specific technical challenge — bring your project and we'll work through it together.
Monthly Sewing Circle
A monthly sewing circle meets at the studio. Spaces are limited and occasionally available for new members. The sewing circle is a collaborative environment where participants work on their own projects with shared expertise and community. Contact Heidi to enquire about current availability.
