what students are saying
Gather your people and make it a sewing session to remember.
Your Own Sewing Circle is a private version of our much-loved FreeStyle Sewing Sessions, created especially for you and your group. Whether you're celebrating something special, reconnecting with friends, or simply carving out creative time together, this session is all about sewing, conversation, and shared inspiration.
Bring your own projects and we’ll guide, troubleshoot and support you during the session. Expect expert help, a relaxed atmosphere, and plenty of time to stitch, chat and learn side-by-side.
Perfect for intimate small group birthdays, team bonding, hens parties, or just because.
Each person gets their own fully kitted-out sewing station, complete with a sewing machine, overlocker, steam generator iron, shears, and cutting tools. You'll have full access to our cutting room, drafting tables, and a treasure trove of tools and gadgets to help bring your ideas to life.
We can cater to a maximum of 6 participants.
Please note that fabric, notions, haberdashery, pattern-making paper, etc are not supplied.

Learning the foundations properly sets you up for success. Your teacher will be there to guide and support everyone, but as each person may be working on a different project, there can occasionally be short wait times for individual help.

Terms & Conditions
Taking part in a workshop at Thread Den is fun and we love teaching people our craft, but here we have to get serious for a moment:
It is your responsibility to clear your diary for the booking you've made - especially if there are multiple sessions in your course. If you want to finish your project(s), you need to attend all workshops. You'll also need to arrive on time. We can't start again because it just isn't fair to your fellow participants.
Allow us this indulgence for a second, our workshops and courses - are usually sold out weeks in advance. It isn't a quick switch to pop you into another workshop. If we have an appropriate session where you can attend to keep going, we will try to offer you a discounted space. If that isn't possible, you will need to book a private lesson to stay on track (the minimum cost is NM -$144 or M -$119.52).
We also won't follow you up to check that you are coming along to class and/or that you have the right supplies for your class. Almost every workshop will require you to bring along your supplies, for some workshops we sell a supplies kit at an additional cost - but not for all. If you are unsure about what you need, just shoot us an email - info@threadden.com . We also want you to learn and love what you make as much as possible, please carefully consider the fabrics we recommend that you use. If you choose a fabric that is suited to a more advanced level you aren't going to enjoy your experience.
We've tried to answer any questions you could have in the workshop description, but again, don't hesitate to email us for any further details or with any queries. We loooove to see that fabric you are thinking of using and sending you off to some of our favourite fabric and habby suppliers.
Thanks for sticking with us and reading through those annoying details.
The details of our refund policy appear during the booking process.
Medical Events
- If you are required to isolate, with the supply of a medical certificate or COVID-19 testing referral covering the date of your workshop, you will be able to transfer your booking without incurring any penalties.
- Your safety is our priority, we reserve the right to make decisions if necessary to preserve the safety of all.
- In the event of a medical emergency, we may have to seek ambulance services on your behalf and at your expense.
