Garment Sewing one day retreat

Step into the beautiful Centennial Lodge, surrounded by trees in Queen’s Park, and spend the day slowing down, creating, and connecting. Our Beginner Sewing session is designed to feel less like a class and more like a nourishing escape — where you’ll learn new skills, make something with your hands, and enjoy the simple joy of making alongside others.

Throughout the day, you’ll be guided through the foundations of sewing while working on a garment of your choice — tank top , a relaxed top, flowy or straight pants, or a flowing skirt. Our session are is gentle and supportive, giving you plenty of time to explore, ask questions, and enjoy the process.

We’ll pause together for tea, snacks, and moments to stretch and chat, so the day feels as restorative as it is creative. You’ll leave not only with a handmade garment, but with a sense of calm, inspiration, and the confidence to keep sewing at home.
