Get one-to-one help during the day

Social Sewing Days are about sewing your own project in good company. Your ticket covers your place for the day, but it doesn’t include teaching. If you’d like focused help while you’re there, you can add a 30-minute support session.

Perhaps you’re stuck on a tricky technique. Maybe you’re not sure which size to cut. Or you’ve sewn something that isn’t fitting quite right. A session gives you calm, one-to-one time to understand the why and plan your next step.

What Izzy can help with

A sewing technique

Talked through step by step, at your machine or on the table.

Your questions answered, in plain words.

Fitting

Advice on a pattern or a garment you’ve already made.

Your current project
