Private Events
Celebrate something special with a sewing session. I host relaxed, creative events for birthdays, hen parties, and small groups — a unique way to gather, make, and share.
Private Lessons
I have a limited number of slots for 1:1 lessons or 1:2 lessons which can be booked subject to availability. These are held at Cromer Seamstress’ small home studio.
Private Commissions
I create custom sewn and machine-knit pieces, from unique garments to restoration projects. Whether it’s a bespoke make or repairing a treasured item, each project is crafted with care.
Alterations & Repairs
I also offer a small, local alterations service — from hemming trousers and replacing zips to garment repairs and turning up curtains. If it needs a stitch or a little extra love, I can help.
My Google and Social Media Reviews
“It was such a fabulous day! Thank you Katy. Great to meet such a lovely group of ladies so passionate about sewing. I think I did more talking and laughing than stitching though! I look forward to the next one. Superb venue too!”
