Sew with us
So many people lack confidence when it comes to using a sewing machine - and it really isn’t as hard as it seems! Helen offers introductory sewing lessons for individuals or small groups to share her love of sewing with others. Helen is largely self taught and understands what it is to be a beginner and to be always learning. This makes her style of teaching very approachable, easy to understand, inclusive and encouraging.
Helen has a heart for working with individuals who find it difficult to access sewing lessons that suit them: either because English is not their first language or because of social anxiety or specific additional needs. She loves to see people grow in confidence over time as they discover the joy of sewing for themselves. Sessions can be flexible and tailored to the needs of the individual.

Rent a Table
If you have the vision but don't have the space or the equipment, why not come to the Green Heart Workshop and rent the table?
You can use the sewing machines, overlockers, fabrics and sewing equipment while you are here.
Please note: this is not a teaching session so although Helen will be around and available for questions, she will not be able to give full attention to you and your project.
Sessions take place in the Green Heart Workshop in the Greenesfield Business Centre, a 5-minute walk from Gateshead Interchange. Parking is available.
Cost: £7.50 per hour
Contact Helen by email at helen@greenheartcollective.uk to arrange a time.

One-hour individual sewing classes can be arranged on Tuesday mornings, Thursday afternoons or Friday mornings, or in an early evening by request.

Sessions take place in the Green Heart Workshop in the Greenesfield Business Centre, a 5-minute walk from Gateshead Interchange. Parking is available.
