Sewing makes you feel that you have achieved something, that you have fulfilled something, it’s a skill and hobby that really makes you feel satisfied. It helps with your mental health and really gives you the freedom to explore your own style and creativity.

For example, clothes are generically made in random sizes, and no two bodies are the same, so we have to make do with clothes that are really not made for us. Sewing gives us the freedom to really make clothes that fit us. Also, the choice of fabric, colour, style to suit our body shape is priceless.
It is also such a cost-effective skill.

It saves money in the long run as all you will be paying for is fabrics, and so many good quality fabrics around, at very competitive prices.

Many students think that they “not creative” “cannot sew” then they made their first outfit and something shifts for them

The deeper reasons for sewing:

Being connected to heritage – when I sew, I feel connected to my roots

Creating clothes exactly like I want them: I don’t have to search endlessly for clothes, I can make them myself with love and intention

Sewing is meditative. Slows you down, focuses your hands body and calms your mind

Sewing gives people the sense of achievement – I started with fabric, ended up with confidence

Sewing is an act of love: your mum’s alteration, your child’s Eid outfit

When I sew I feel useful, smart and independent, I feel I am capable, I can rely on myself again

Sewing reminds me of my mum and it’s a way of reconnecting with her, even though she’s not here

For once my clothes fit me, not the other way round

I want to pass this sewing skill down to my daughter, and I want it to be something I share with her

My sewing room is one place where I feel complete and myself and it is my safe place and I feel connected to who I really am

I am healing through my sewing – I don’t need to fix everything today, just this seam
I want to look good in my clothes, which will make me feel good, which means I have more confidence in whatever I do. For example, in the workplace, when I am with my family, weddings, when I am with my friends, my clothes always look good which makes me feel so much better.

Why should someone take my sewing course

This course is not just about sewing, but actually gaining confidence and culture in your clothes and in your body. To actually look and feel like YOU, instead of wearing what other people are wearing and wearing designs that don’t really reflect your personality. This course is simple, clear and beginner friendly and cuts out all the jargon that is not related to our traditional sewing and cutting. In this course I have thought about every little detail. Down to the equipment you will need, down to what needles you will need. Every tiny little detail is considered and taught with ease.
