I was terrified of my new sewing machine, but the Beginner Sewing Lessons made everything so easy to understand. Thully is super patient and I left Durban feeling so confident!

The Pattern Reading & Adjustment Class completely changed how I make clothes. It was worth every single cent for the skills I gained in just one day.

Thully is genuinely the friendliest teacher in Durban, making you feel totally relaxed from the moment you walk in. The Zip & Closure Workshop was so fun and completely stress-free!

I finally completed my first wearable dress thanks to the Garment Construction Class. The step-by-step guidance was brilliant and I can't wait to book my next session.

No, you don't. We provide the machines and tools you need during your classes at our Durban studio. If you do have your own, we're happy to teach you on it so you're comfortable at home.
Absolutely. Our Beginner Sewing Lessons are designed exactly for you. We start with basic machine operation and simple seams, assuming no prior knowledge at all.
Just bring yourself and a willingness to learn! For specific classes like garment construction, we will advise you on fabric choices and patterns when you book.
We keep our sessions small and focused so you get the hands-on guidance you need. This isn't a lecture; it's practical, one-to-one supported learning.
We run all our classes in-store at our studio in Durban, South Africa. You can find the exact location on the map at the bottom of this page.
