Sewing Classes. Creative Workshops.

Multi-award winning sewing classes and creative workshops in Edinburgh.  Learn how to sew, make, repair or alter clothes in a dressmaking course, or take a creative textile workshop or machine embroidery workshop.

Classes are taught by Jen and a carefully-selected group of talented and highly-experienced guest tutors. Jen is a lifelong sewing enthusiast and degree-qualified Textile Artist/Designer. No other Edinburgh sewing classes or creative workshops offer more variety or a structured tuition programme with back-up support for continued quality learning. Come for just one course or dip in and out as you require.  Or like so many other Artisan Stich students,  return again and again to continue your sewing journey, it’s up to you.

Sewing classes are available during daytimes, evenings and weekends. There’s Beginners sewing courses, refresher sewing classes,  dressmaking courses or shorter 1-day events to focus on specific techniques. Overlockers are a mystery to many so learn how to get the best from yours in the overlocker class. Soft furnishing workshops will give you the knowledge and confidence to sew professional-quality curtains and cushions. In fact, no other Edinburgh sewing course provider offers a greater variety of topics or skill-levels than Artisan Stitch.

The series of 3-day Summer school courses are the opportunity to really get to grips with a new subject. These intensive sewing courses make a perfect activity holiday for your staycation.

There are sewing classes for children during school holidays, and an after-school sewing club in term times.

Scottish Prestige Awards 2025/26 Winner

I’m delighted to announce that Artisan Stitch has continued the winning streak (yet again) and won the Sewing Tuition Provider of the Year 2025/26 in the  Scotland Prestige Awards.  This is the 4th consecutive year that Artisan Stitch has won this category (and our 10th award in 7 years). The Prestige Awards recognise small and medium-sized businesses that have proven to be the best in their market over the past 12 months.

All shortlisted companies are judged on evidence of their work, positive feedback from their clients, information on previous accreditation and recognition as well as highlighting the most outstanding parts of their businesses.

The judging panel base their decisions upon areas such as service excellence, quality of the product/service provided, innovative practices, value, ethical or sustainable methods of working, as well as consistency in performance. The winners selected are those who can best demonstrate their strengths in these areas. Here are their comments:

“Artisan Stitch stands out as a beacon of quality, creativity, and innovation in the world of sewing education… fostering a welcoming environment where students of all ages and backgrounds thrive… Artisan Stitch doesn’t just teach sewing—it builds a community, inspires creativity, and champions the benefits of craftsmanship for personal well-being.”
