The Joy of Sewing — More Than Just a Hobby

For me, sewing isn’t just something I do — it’s who I am. I feel incredibly lucky to have turned my passion into a career, and even more fortunate to share that passion every day with the wonderful customers and students who walk through the doors of Tracey’s Sewing Room.

One of my recent creations - shall we add it to our workshops?

My world is filled with creativity — the hum of sewing machines, the colours and textures of beautiful fabrics, the satisfaction of turning an idea into something real and wearable. Whether I’m stitching up a new outfit for myself, creating something special for my children or grandchildren, or guiding a student through their very first sewing project, this craft continues to fill my life with joy and purpose.

Sewing is my therapy — mindful, absorbing, and endlessly creative. It doesn’t matter what the weather’s doing, or how much time I have — there’s always a project waiting, and each one leads naturally to the next. There are no limits, only new ideas and inspiration around every corner.

If you’ve ever thought about trying something new, I warmly invite you to join our wonderful sewing community here in Dorking. Whether you're a complete beginner or already hooked, there’s a place for you at Tracey’s Sewing Room — where creativity, friendship and learning come together, one stitch at a time.
