Yes, absolutely 💗
Mummy SEW-cials are perfect for complete beginners.

You’ll be guided step by step, starting right at the beginning with how to thread a sewing machine, basic stitches and simple techniques. Everything is taught at a relaxed pace, with lots of encouragement and support. If you’ve ever thought “I wish I could sew”, you’re in exactly the right place.

Yes!
All Mummy SEW-cials are tailored to the individual mums in the room.

If you already have some sewing knowledge, you’ll likely build confidence quickly and may sew and complete more projects throughout the term. I’ll always meet you at your level and help you progress at a pace that feels right for you.

All SEW-cials take place at:

This Mummy Sews HQ, located at Pemberton Business centre, Wigan WN5 8AA.

SEW-cials take place on Tuesdays during term time. There are 2 sessions you can book on to: 10am-11:30am OR 11:30am-1pm.

Please check the SEW-cial you are interested in attending as timings may vary depending on the season and term time.

Mummy SEW-cials are just £12 per session, booked as a full term.

Each term runs for 5, 6 or 7 weeks, depending on the season and school term dates:

• 5-week term – £60

• 6-week term – £72

• 7-week term – £84

Sessions are 1.5 hours long, making them incredible value for the learning, support and experience you receive.

Mummy SEW-cials are designed as a full-term experience, as learning to sew and building confidence happens week by week.

On very rare occasions, if there is space within a term, a limited number of pay-as-you-go places may be released. These:

• are not guaranteed week to week

• are offered on an ad-hoc basis only

• are priced at £20 per session

For the best value, learning experience and sense of community, booking a full term is always recommended.

No — everything is provided 💗

You’ll have full use of my sewing machines, along with access to haberdashery and a selection of fabrics needed to complete the seasonal projects covered during the term.

When you’re feeling more confident and ready to try larger projects (such as clothing), optional fabric kits may be available to purchase if you’d like to use specific fabrics beyond those provided in the SEW-cials.

Yes — babies are 100% welcome.

Mummy SEW-cials are designed specifically for mums on maternity leave, so sessions are completely baby-friendly. You’re welcome to bring car seats, carriers, bouncers or play mats, and there are baby changing facilities available on site.

Mummy SEW-cials are aimed at mums on maternity leave, so babies usually attend between 0–12 months.

For more active, crawling babies, I have a large playpen that can be set up. If you’d like this, please email me in advance at info@thismummysews.com so I can make space and adjust the sewing tables accordingly.

That’s completely okay 💗
Babies cry, feed, need cuddles and comfort — and that’s all part of real life on maternity leave.

There’s absolutely no pressure to keep sewing if your baby needs you. You can pause at any point to feed, settle or change them, then pick up where you left off when you’re ready.

Mummy SEW-cials are designed to be calm, flexible and baby-friendly — everyone understands, and you’ll never feel rushed or judged.

I’m always on hand to help out, and the session will be so supportive, other mums totally understand and help out too. 🥰

My advice is always: you know your child best.

Mummy SEW-cials are not a play centre, and for health and safety reasons, children are not able to run around the studio or touch equipment.

If you feel your child would be happy to sit, play quietly, read, colour, or watch an iPad for the duration of the session, they are welcome to come along. Any older children attending do so at the parent’s own discretion and responsibility.

Absolutely 💗
The studio is large enough to accommodate twin and multiple-baby mums.

You’ll just need to bring suitable equipment (such as car seats or bouncer chairs) to ensure both babies are safe and settled while you sew.

IteYes — baby changing facilities are available on site.

Yes.
The studio is located on the ground floor, and the toilets are also ground-floor and fully accessible.

Each session includes:

• full use of sewing machines

• access to haberdashery

• a selection of fabrics for the seasonal projects

• expert guidance and support throughout

• tea, coffee and a selection of biscuits ☕🍪

Everything is designed to help you relax, learn and enjoy the experience.

If you have any questions that aren’t covered here, you’re always welcome to get in touch.
