Little Needles is dedicated to introducing children to the art of sewing.  Through our gentle introduction, children very quickly pick up skills and confidence and in no time are surprising themselves at how much they can achieve.  By the end of the year they will be competent in the use of a sewing machine and able to carry out most simple sewing tasks by themselves.  Classes are kept small so the children get the maximum of individual attention and there are projects to suit all abilities.  I take all the classes myself and am CRB-checked.

Many of you have requested classes for yourselves, so we have now extended our classes to adult beginners.  We know that many of you are far too busy to commit to a long course and just want something to get you off the starting blocks.  We offer the same hands-on, clear and simple instruction in small groups in our Get to Know Your Sewing Machine classes.  These classes have been great fun and very popular and we look forward to many more!

I hope you enjoy our website and look forward to welcoming you to our classes,
