Free Children’s Sewing Classes London

A Safe Place to Learn, Stitch, and Feel Looked After

Empowering young people with a creative skill and a caring community.

Every child deserves a place to feel safe, encouraged, and creative. Our Children’s Free Sewing Classes in London offer young people aged 9–18 a supportive environment to learn a valuable skill and build confidence. These courses are completely free, funded by our adult classes, and are designed to help young people grow and feel a sense of belonging.

Around 1 in 10 children in the UK is neglected.

Our solution is to provide sewing classes for adults to learn and connect, while supporting free courses for disadvantaged children to grow and belong. Our free children’s courses offer a safe, stable space where young people can develop their creativity and build confidence in a nurturing community.
