Patchwork, Quilting
and Sewing Tutoring

Come sew with me!

Sewing is a wonderful skill
and a great way to spend time.

I have classes for regular sewists as well as beginners, from junior school age upwards. There are many opportunities to sew with me in person at my studio in Maidenhead on weekly classes and specialist workshops. I run an educational sewing blog as well as very popular Facebook and Instagram accounts and a YouTube Channel.

The sewing classes at GillyMac Designs range through patchwork, quilting, dressmaking, bag making, and homewares. Similarly, the children and teen classes make the most amazing items for others, themselves and also to enter (and win) national competitions.

Once you have attended class you will be invited to join the uplifting online GillyMac Club where you can learn more from me and take part in our regular sewalongs and demonstrations.

Adult Classes

Follow a GillyMac Project or if you’d prefer, bring your own projects to work on.

Junior and Teen Classes

All the Junior and Teen GillyMac classes encourage an appreciation of textile art in many forms.

1-2-1 Tutoring

Most clients want to focus on improving a specific skill or they may have a new machine and would like to go through all of its functions.
