'The Sewing Cafe' at Homemade London launches on Tuesday 31 August.

Ideal if you've taken part in one of our workshops and want to practice your new skills or simply if you want to work on your own projects in our beautiful salon, in central London. You can hire one of our many Janome DC3050 sewing machines or one of our Janome 9200D overlockers by the hour or maybe just use our space to work in an inspiring and relaxing environment.

And because a visit to Homemade London is always an experience - we'll be serving complimentary tea and cakes (using our vintage Royal Worcester gold lustre china and hand-painted Japanese teacups).

'The Sewing Cafe' will be open on Tuesdays and Fridays from 12.00-5.00 and on Wednesday evenings from 6.00-10.00.

Booking in advance advisable as space is limited - £10 per hour or 10 one-hour sessions for only £7 an hour.

To celebrate our launch, we're offering 10 newsletter subscribers a complimentary one-hour session, simply email us at info@homemadelondon.com and 10 names will be drawn at random on Friday 20 August.

Please note: sewing machines are not available to rent for complete beginners, you must know the basics of using a machine - if you are a complete beginner and would like to learn how to use a machine we have a range of workshops designed to show you how.
