Our Studio address is:

The Makers' Space, Longbarn Village, Alcester Heath, Alcester B49 5JJ

Absolutely! There is plenty of free parking.

If you're attending a mutli-day course and need somewhere to stay, email us at hello@sewmesomething.co.uk and we can send you some recommendations on local hotels, B&B’s and restaurants!

When you join us for a workshop we provide refreshments in the form of Tea, Coffee and most importantly cake! Please let us know of any dietary requirements at the time of booking.

We also have our lovely on site cafe; The Makers' Kitchen, serving award winning coffee from Monsoon Estates, delicious freshly prepared lunches with vegan friendly and gluten free options available and locally baked irresistibly tasty cakes.

Unfortunately not. We tend to run back-to-back workshops, followed by weekend shows. This means we have a lot of tidying up to do in between to keep our workshop tip top. Because of this, we can only allow workshop attendees access to the workshop 10 minutes prior the course.

Of course! All workshop attendees get a 10% discount on purchases of full priced fabrics, patterns and haberdashery on the day of their workshop.  It is a good idea to contact us in advance of the workshop to make sure we have what you want in stock.

Yes! The SMS workshop is in an old converted barn, so as you can imagine, our floors are slightly uneven and there is a small lip on our front door (we are working to make this better!). But both our workshop and toilet facitilies are suitable for those in wheelchairs. If you think you might need any additional help, please do call us in advance and we will do everything in our power to ensure your visit is as easy as possible.

For insurance purposes we ask that you do not bring your own machines to workshops, however, you are welcome to bring your own sewing equipment.  

(We occasionally run 'Get to know your own sewing machine' workshops where you are invited to bring them but, only with a valid/current PAT Certificate)

Yes of course you can. Obviously if you're attending a specific SMS pattern workshop, we will supply you with the paper SMS pattern but, if you are attending one of our generic Sewing Clubs, Dressmaking Workshops, Jeans Workshop or one of our lovely Small & Magical Retreats, you are welcome to bring whatever pattern you like. Just let us know in advance what you plan to make and our tutors will be there to help you.
