HOORAY I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR A  WORKSHOP LIKE THIS FOR YEARS.

I love sewing but finishing garments can be difficult with only one pair of hands. I also like to experiment, altering garments and patterns, but without someone knowledgeable to bounce ideas around with it's daunting. Procrastination became my friend.
Now I have found a light and airy, well equipped space with friendly people to help and like minded participants to natter with. The Sew Friendly workshops are great. You can even use a garden centre trolley to get your sewing machine to the workshop from your car, but if you prefer Made & Making have machines available on site.

CHILDRENS WORKSHOP

Another great workshop at Made and Making. My daughter always looks forward to the holiday sessions and was thrilled with the bag that she made. Lovely venue and classes are always well organised. The tutors manage to give exactly the right level of support for the children - supporting and guiding as much as needed, but still allowing them the satisfaction of making it themselves

FRIENDLY AND ENJOYABLE ESCAPISM

I have attended various sessions at Made and Making and each time I feel I do not want the session to end. All the tutors are so lovely, patient and extremely knowledgeable and most importantly do not make you feel inadequate.

It is my escapism and therapy and I look forward to each session.
