Who are we?
Crafty Birds is run by Anneka, who is a fully qualified teacher of Fashion and Textiles in an upper school in Ampthill who opens the doors of her classroom to welcome those who want to learn to sew. Along with some of her teaching colleagues, Crafty Birds runs classes in sewing and dressmaking for both adults and children. All classrooms have excellent facilities and are comfortable and friendly environments for you to learn in. All courses are run at Redborne Upper School in Ampthill, Bedfordshire, MK45 2NU.
What will I learn?
As Anneka is a practising teacher of Fashion and Textiles, she has designed her programme of courses to ensure a clear line of progression through sewing and dressmaking from complete beginners to expert level. When you sign up for a Crafty Birds sewing course, you can be sure that the projects you work on have been designed to provide you with an opportunity to learn and make progress with your hobby. Anneka applies her usual teaching methods to the courses to provide differentiated skills in the workshops. All areas of sewing and dressmaking are considered when the courses are designed, to ensure that you learn relevant skills at the right pace for you.
Is it for me?
You can lose track of time at an immersive craft workshop, making it perfect for stress relief, me time, and social get togethers. Learning how to make your own clothes is highly rewarding and gives you the freedom to enjoy more clothing styles in comfortable sizes. We run courses for complete beginners as well as experienced sewers, so there’s no need to feel nervous about attending a course. Discover your hidden creative talents!
