Hello there and welcome to Talking Threads!

Talking Threads is a friendly place to learn how to sew — especially if you’re scared to start.

I run sewing workshops every Saturday at Widnes Market where you are able to learn new skills in a relaxed, friendly and supportive environment.

Can’t make it to Widnes? Learn to sew online!

You can now learn with Talking Threads from the comfort of your own home.

I offer one-to-one online sewing sessions designed around you, whether you’re a complete beginner, want help with a particular sewing skill, or simply need a bit of guidance and encouragement with a project. Check out the Workshops page to learn more.

Talking Threads is built on the belief that creativity should be for everyone. I aim to create an inclusive, respectful space where people of all backgrounds, abilities and experience levels can learn, create and feel comfortable being themselves. A place where everyone is welcome, questions are encouraged, mistakes are celebrated as part of learning, and every person leaves feeling a little more confident than when they arrived.
