Sew Retro

Love the class, nice to learn to make things. Sarah is lovely.

Sarah at Sew Retro is fantastic. Ive started her Tuesday morning classes and find them so much fun. Not only am I learning a new skill, but all the ladies that attend are really lovely and there us such a nice vibe. Sarah is so good at getting round us all and helping us with projects. I cannot recommend her enough.

I only came for 3 lessons but 2 years on I'm still coming! Sarah is a fabulous teacher, eternally patient and full of great ideas. I've learnt so much. It's always a nice crowd at the lessons and she makes a mean cake!

Sarah is a great teacher with a lot of patience. She has a vast selection of sewing books and patterns which all her students are allowed to use. Sew Retro seem to be the cheapest classes in Brighton. She makes the best cakes too. I recommend her classes to all my friends, they are fun and friendly too!

Whether you're a complete novice or just looking for a wonderful environment to sew without distractions, I cannot recommend Sew Retro highly enough! Sarah's knowledge and talent is unrivalled -the only limit to your creations is your imagination!

Sarah has taught me from scratch to use a sewing machine and guided me through many projects. She's always patient and has a never ending supply of encouragement! I'd recommend her to anyone.

I came to Sarah's class with a modicum of dressmaking experience but lacking ability to give garments a professional finish and lacking motivation and confidence.The classes have helped me to make great strides forward and this is largely due to the friendly and knowledgeable atmosphere which Sarah has succeeded in creating and to her attentiveness to each and every participant. Classes are very reasonably priced, fun and friendly. A bonus is the steady supply of tea, coffee and delicious home-made cake.Its been great fun meeting new people and developing new skills as well as new friendships. A really enjoyable class and I can't recommend too highly.Jane S.Hove.

I've been going to Sew Retro every week for almost 4 years. It's the highlight of my week. I started as a complete novice, never having touched a sewing machine before. Sarah is an amazing, lovely, patient teacher. Always positive, Sarah encouraged me to sew, no matter how difficult I perceived a project. Her step-by-step guidance and a finished item have built my confidence over the last few years, and I have some fabulous new clothing as well. It's also a great chance to have a cup of tea, one of Sarah's amazing baking creations and a chat to other lovely people who have come to sew. I would highly recommend Sew Retro to anyone no matter what ability level. A complete beginner can learn to sew, but also an experienced sewist can get guidance and inspiration.

I couldn’t recommend Sarah enough. Her patience and enthusiasm as well as her knowledge makes sewing that much better. If that isn’t enough then her delicious cakes makes it all definitely worthwhile!

Highly recommended! Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable teacher. Lovely bunch of people. Before going to Sew Retro I could barely sew on a button and now I make my own clothes.
