Freelance Sewing & Textile Tutors
Build classes with us at Ready Steady Sew
Ready Steady Sew is a busy, growing sewing school and studio, and we are looking to expand our bank of reliable, enthusiastic freelance tutors to teach a wide range of workshops and courses.
We are keen to hear from tutors who specialise in one or more areas rather than everything. You do not need to cover all topics. Our aim is to build a trusted group of tutors we can rely on as our programme continues to grow.
Skills we would love to hear from
We are currently looking for tutors who can teach any of the following:
-
Dressmaking at beginner, intermediate and or advanced level
-
Learn to sew and beginner sewing classes
-
Fitting and adjusting dressmaking patterns
-
Embroidery and surface stitch techniques
-
Curtain and blind making
-
Quilting
-
Children’s sewing classes
If your skillset sits slightly outside this list but feels relevant to a sewing studio, we are still happy to hear from you.
The traits that really matter to us
This is a freelance role, but reliability is essential. We need tutors we can trust to show up prepared, confident and ready to lead a class.
You must be:
-
Reliable and professional with your time and commitments
-
Enthusiastic about sharing your skills and supporting students
-
Confident leading a class of 8+ adult students
-
Friendly, approachable and able to explain techniques clearly
Previous teaching experience is helpful but not essential. Strong technical skills, confidence and a genuine love of helping others learn are far more important.
How our classes run
-
Classes typically run as 4 or 6 week blocks, or as half-day, one-day or two-day workshops
-
Teaching may be daytime, evening or weekend depending on the class
-
You do not need to be available for all time slots
Our studio is based at Broad Oak Farm Business Park near Whitchurch, so you must be able to travel to us. Access to a car is essential.
What We Offer:
-
Freelance pay from £20–£30 per hour, depending on experience, skillset and the type of class being taught
-
A supportive, friendly working environment
-
The opportunity to teach both established and newly developed classes
-
Flexible teaching opportunities across daytime, evening and weekend sessions
-
The chance to be part of a growing creative business with a strong community feel
About Us:
Ready Steady Sew is a vibrant sewing school focused on helping people build skills, confidence and community through sewing. Our studio is a welcoming, well-equipped space, and our students are enthusiastic, committed and keen to learn.
