About The Wonky Bobbin

I run The Wonky Bobbin from my home studio in Repton, offering relaxed, friendly sewing lessons and creative workshops for ages 8+.

​

After 20 years as a primary teacher, I now combine my love of teaching with sewing — helping others build confidence, learn new skills, and enjoy the process.

​

More recently, I’ve loved working with local crafters and partnering with Crafted the Bakery to create small, supportive workshops with a welcoming, community feel.

Absolutely love my sewing lessons with Sophia. She is patient and kind throughout. The items I have made, I have gifted. My confidence is growing, thanks to The Wonky Bobbin.
