Make Your Own Storybook Swing Coat

A Creative Sewing Workshop

Join us for a relaxed, hands‑on sewing workshop where you’ll create a Storybook Swing Coat using the beautifully modern 'Matchy Matchy' aesthetic.

This workshop is all about learning, making, and enjoying the process—whether you’re building confidence with garment sewing or adding a new statement piece to your wardrobe. 

What You’ll Make

During the workshop, you’ll sew a swing‑style coat with a timeless silhouette and playful proportions. The finished coat is designed to be easy to wear, layer, and personalise with your own fabric choices. You’ll learn techniques that can be reused in future projects, giving you skills as well as a finished garment. 

What You’ll Learn

  • Understanding and working with a garment sewing pattern.
  • Cutting fabric accurately and confidently.
  • Constructing a swing‑style coat step by step.
  • Sewing seams, hems, and facings neatly.
  • Tips for achieving a professional finish.
  • How to customise details to make the coat your own.

Guidance is provided throughout, with time for questions and individual help.

Who It’s For

This workshop is ideal for confident beginners to intermediate sewists – both men and women. You should be comfortable using a sewing machine and sewing straight seams, but you don’t need prior coat‑making experience. If you’ve sewn garments before and want to try something a little more ambitious in a supportive setting, this workshop is perfect.

What’s Included

  • Expert, friendly instruction.
  • Use of cutting tables and workspace.
  • Step‑by‑step guidance through the project.
  • A supportive, creative atmosphere.
  • Refreshments.

What to Bring

  • Fabric and supplies for your coat:
    • 3.5 metres (137cm wide fabric) in medium weight woven fabric such as denim, twill or canvas.
    • Matching thread.
    • 3 x 2.2cm buttons.

Why You’ll Love It

  • Leave with a beautiful, wearable coat.
  • Build confidence in garment construction.
  • Learn transferable sewing skills.
  • Enjoy a creative day with like‑minded makers.

Spaces are limited to ensure plenty of individual support.

Come for the sewing, stay for the satisfaction of making something truly special.

If you would like a refresher on using a sewing machine, we suggest doing our Beginners Guide to Sewing Machine workshop before this workshop.

This workshop takes place in our Sewing School. 

We have brand new Janome sewing machines for you to use, plus all the other tools, equipment and sewing 'notions'.

Refreshments will be provided throughout the workshop.

We have sewing machines you can use, but if you prefer to bring your own you are very welcome to.

This workshop takes place upstairs in our new sewing school and I'm afraid we do not have a lift.  We do have a toilet and refreshment station upstairs.
