One-to-One Sewing Classes
Learn to sew or build your confidence on the sewing machine in these personalised London classes.
About the Classes
Knowledge required
No previous sewing knowledge is required.
Complete beginners are more than welcome, and if you already sew simple things and want to start making clothes, you can join to build on your existing skills and work towards more ambitious projects.
Every class is customised to your level and your goals.
Please note: these classes are based on 15+ years of self-taught experience. They're practical and hands-on, but don't currently cover pattern drafting from scratch or complex garment alterations.

These classes are for complete beginners and people who already sew simple things and want to start making clothes.
Suitable for adults and children aged 12 and above. Adult accompaniment is not required.

Please note 🐾
I have two young cats who live in the flat. I will take steps to minimise their presence in the craft room during classes, but I cannot guarantee that there will be no cat hair present.
If you have allergies or are not comfortable with cats, please consider this before booking a class.

FAQs
Do I need any previous sewing experience?
Not at all. These classes are suitable for complete beginners as well as people who already sew simple things and want to take the next step into garment-making.
What's the minimum age?
Classes are suitable for adults and children aged 12 and above. Adult accompaniment is not required.
Does this cover pattern drafting?
Not currently. As this is a self-taught practice, classes focus on practical skills, using the sewing machine, following existing patterns and making real things - rather than drafting patterns from scratch or complex garment alterations.
What do I need to bring?
Just yourself for the first class - after that, we'll agree together on what to bring.
Can I work on my own project?
Absolutely! If you have something specific in mind, bring it along and we'll see what we can do together. I'll always be upfront if a project is beyond what I can help with - but you might be surprised how much we can achieve.
What happens if I need to reschedule?
Classes are non-refundable, but you can reschedule any individual session with at least 24 hours' notice, up to 1 year from the date of purchase, you can just write me an email and we'll reschedule it together.
Can I book a class for more than one person?
Unfortunately not at the moment - classes are strictly one to one, as space in my craft room is limited.
I have a question before booking - who can I contact?
You're welcome to email me at [email protected] and I'll be happy to help.
About Eleonora
My name is Eleonora, and I’ve been a passionate creator and teacher for years.
I grew up in Milan (Italy) and founded Elendipity in 2018 as a way to share my love for crafting with others through my YouTube Channel.
After moving to London in 2019, I had the pleasure of teaching workshops at major events like the Knit+Stitch Shows, as well as countless private parties, one-to-one classes, and crochet clubs for children.
Along the way, I also became a crochet and embroidery pattern designer, creating modern, beginner-friendly patterns and courses that help makers build their skills with confidence.
These experiences have shown me that the simple act of making something with your hands has a profound impact - it helps people relax, connect, and discover a new creative side of themselves.
I truly believe that everyone has the potential to be creative, and my mission is to share that mindful, rewarding experience with a wider audience.
I’d be excited to bring my passion and teaching experience into your home and help you create beautiful craft pieces.
