3 hour Sip n Sew: Christmas Stocking Class
Take a little time out from the Christmas rush and enjoy a cosy, creative sewing session in the g&g studio!
Join us for our Sip n Sew Christmas Stocking Class - a relaxed 3-hour workshop where you’ll learn to sew your very own beautiful Christmas stocking. With a cup of non-alcoholic mulled wine in hand, a mince pie to nibble and unlimited tea and coffee, it’s the perfect way to get into the festive spirit.
Whether you’re making a stocking as a gift or adding a handmade touch to your own festive décor, our expert tutor will guide you step by step. You’ll learn sewing techniques, tips for neat finishes, and how to personalise your stocking with trims, contrasting fabrics or applique.
Come solo for some mindful making time or bring a friend for a festive catch-up - either way, you’ll leave with new skills, a handmade stocking, and plenty of Christmas cheer.
This class is suitable for those who have little or basic sewing machine experience.
If you’ve never used a sewing machine before, don’t worry - we’ll start the session with a short introduction on how to use the machine and some basic stitches. Please note, this won’t be as in-depth as our dedicated beginners’ classes.
If you feel you’d benefit from a more detailed introduction to sewing, you can explore our beginners’ classes here.
If you are more confident, you can even add embellishments or applique a design onto your stocking.
Spaces are limited, so book early to secure your spot and start your Christmas season with creativity and calm.

Sewing has always been a huge part of Claire's life. As a child she was always making, crafting and fixing things. Her love of fabric and making drove her to study Textiles and Fashion Design at Leeds University. After graduating and gaining some invaluable experience in the fashion and textiles industry Claire realised her true passion was sharing her skills and knowledge of garment construction with others.
Claire has been teaching design as a qualified lecturer for well over a decade. She joined the g&g team shortly after the shop opened in 2013 as a workshop tutor. During her time with us she has taught countless workshops and has loved helping customers learn how to sew and create wearable garments that will become staples of their me-made wardrobe.
