Can I Learn to Sew Online?

by Bethany Armitage

The folks at Sew Over It have been teaching people to sew for over 10 years.

It all started when founder Lisa Comfort opened her first Sew Over It store in Landor Road, south London. As well as selling patterns and fabric, Sew Over It offered classes ranging from the basics of sewing and customising clothes to making handbags and our signature vintage-style dresses. In the last ten years, Lisa and her team of experts have taught thousands of people to sew in person.

A few years ago Lisa launched her ground-breaking online Sew Over It Stitch School. Now they can teach people all over the world how to sew with easy-to-follow video classes.
