Become close-knit at the Liberty Sewing School These days, it’s not just grandmas who take to the needle.

They take place on Thursday evenings and Saturday afternoons, offering lessons in knitting with linen, making intarsia patterns or doing crochet while having afternoon tea – refreshments are included in the price (£30-£50).
