WHAT’S NEW ON STITCH SCHOOL
Our newest Masterclass:
Ultimate Guide to Sewing & Fitting Jeans!
Learn to sew an ultimate pair of jeans that fit you to perfection with our online sewing masterclass. With three different styles to choose between, in this class you’ll tackle our Ultimate Jeans sewing pattern with our pro teacher Becca by your side.
Whichever version of the Ultimate Jeans you choose, you’ll be carefully guided through sewing up a toile, fitting and constructing your dream pair of jeans. With over 4.5 hours and 60 individual lessons you’ll come away with a raft of new sewing skills including how to get the perfect topstitching, how to apply rivets and buttons, how to insert a classic zip fly and what to do if your sewing machine doesn’t want to cooperate with bulky denim!
Comes free as part of a Premium Stitch School subscription, or can be bought individually for just £60
TUTORIALS
We add at least two new tutorials to Stitch School every month. We’ll be covering fun Pattern Hacks, informative techniques, answering your fitting queries and much more! You’ll get access to all of our tutorials with either of Stitch School’s subscription levels.
Levelling a hem on your own is always a tricky process. In this tutorial Julie talks through the best techniques for levelling a hem if you don’t have a helper in your house – or if you do have a helper but they’re just rubbish with pins!
Sometimes gathering a sleevehead can be a bit of an arduous task. In this tutorial we show you a speedy alternative to sewing all those lines of gathering stitches.
You can use this method for things other than sleeveheads too, it’s a nifty gathering trick that your sewing machine can do without any extra gadgets!
This time round Julie answers a question about sloping shoulders and gives you two ways of adapting a pattern depending on exactly where the issue lies. Spoiler alert – it might not always be to do with your shoulders!
ONLINE CLASSES
Stitch School will bring you at least six new online classes every year, whether it’s a quicker Workshop with a guided sewalong to help you sew your pattern up or an in-depth Masterclass complete with detailed downloadable guides and top tips, you’ll never be short of inspiration for what to sew. All of our online classes are free to our Premium subscribers.
This year we’ve been focusing on making you the pattern drafter. With three new pattern drafting classes you can become the fashion designer whilst also drafting a pattern block that’s fitted perfectly to your measurements.

Add some stylish extra seating to your home with our new Piped Floor Cushion online sewing workshop!
Included in the course is a download of the large Piped Floor Cushion pattern and we’ll also show you how to adapt it to make the cover any size you want. With this course you’ll get to grips with sewing with upholstery fabric, inserting a long zip, making your own piping and handling some very large pattern pieces.
