Children’s courses and adult beginner courses
Each Crafty Birds course is priced differently depending on the length of the course, and the project you will make. The price you pay reserves you a place at each weekly session, plus the kit you need to make the project. When you browse the different courses, you will find that there are two prices to choose from, which will affect the kit you receive.
Please ensure you have read each price option before booking your place on a course.
Parrot
This is our lowest cost option. On arrival to session one, you will receive an essential kit. This includes your pattern pieces, thread, a large fabric swatch for practise samples, plus items such as interfacing or fastenings if they are needed for the item you are making.
You will bring your own fabric, and will find advice on what fabric to bring on the course information page.
Peacock
If you’d like to take the hassle out of bringing your own fabric, choose the Peacock option and Crafty Birds will add your fabric to your kit, along with the essentials. You can specify which fabric you like from the selection on the booking page.
adult dressmakers courses
Everyone attending a dressmakers course will receive a kit with everything they need for the first two sessions when you will be practising skills, included in the price. Remember that you can attend either the first two weeks of a dressmakers course, or the full eight weeks; it’s your choice.
Please ensure you have read each price option before booking your place on a course.
discounts
Discounted prices are available when you book multiple places or courses together.
Booking and paying for two or more places on the same course in one transaction will generate a 5% discount.
Booking and paying for four or more different courses in one transaction will generate a 10% discount.
So many people want to learn to sew, but are often held back by the expense of starting a new hobby. At Crafty Birds, all machines and equipment is provided; the sewing machine, overlocker, fabric scissors, chalk, and more! All we ask is that you bring a pot of your own pins, which you can pick up in the supermarket, fabric shop, or Amazon, for as little as £1. So, you can dip your toe into the world of sewing, before committing to buying any equipment to have at home.
Sewing doesn’t mean having to buy new fabric all the time. Reusing unwanted textile items work just as well, and reduce our carbon footprint! Bed sheeting, large sized men’s shirts, or summer maxi dresses can all be cut up and sewn back together to create something new, beautiful, plus with a story behind it, particularly if it came from a keepsake item.
