I was so nervous I’d be terrible but Bunmi made everyone feel at ease instantly. I left with an actual tote bag I made myself. Still can’t believe it!

Bought this as a birthday gift for my friend and we both had the best time. So relaxing and we actually learned a proper skill. We’ve signed up for the full course now.

Not at all. This session is designed for complete beginners. We start from the very basics and guide you through every step.

Just yourself. All materials, fabric and sewing machines are provided. You can bring your own machine if you prefer.

Sessions run for around 2.5 to 3 hours, giving you plenty of time to learn at a relaxed pace and finish your tote bag.

Absolutely. Many guests come in pairs or small groups. You can also gift a session to someone.

We are based in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire. Full address and directions are sent when you book.

Many Stitch & Chill guests go on to join our regular beginner classes. We can help you find the right next step on the day.
