It is the first multifunctional sewing ecosystem in the region.

It is the GCC’s first-of-its-kind creative sewing hub — a fully equipped, professional studio where individuals can learn, design, sew, develop skills, and connect with a vibrant creative community.

Who is the studio for?

Hobbyists, beginners, advanced makers, designers, tailors, entrepreneurs, students, and anyone ready to explore creativity through sewing.

Do I need experience?

Not at all. Whether you’re threading a needle for the first time or perfecting couture finishing, we support every level.

Yes — skilled makers and educators can rent our space and run their own workshops.

Can sewing help mental wellness?

Absolutely. Sewing is grounding, calming, and therapeutic — and we designed this studio as a place to reset and reconnect.

Absolutely—our Studio Rental Sessions are designed for anyone who is comfortable using a sewing machine, whether you are a beginner, hobbyist or professional.

Because our team supports multiple classes and members simultaneously, we won’t be able to offer one-to-one instruction during rental time, but we are always nearby for basic guidance.

Great job! However, your booking is for a fixed time slot, and we are unable to:

• Offer that time to someone else

• Credit unused minutes to your account

• Issue refunds for early completion

Next time, feel free to bring an extra project in case you move quicker than expected.

If a machine or workstation is available, yes!

Studio rental is charged by the hour:

• AED 120/hour – General Public

• AED 70/hour – Sewing Society Members

All bookings must finish by 6:00 PM so our team can prepare for evening classes.

Everything you need! We currently offer:

• High-quality domestic, semi-industrial & Industrial sewing machines

• Overlock/serger machines

• Steam irons and ironing stations

• Cutting mats, rotary cutters, scissors (left-handed too!)

• Threads, elastics, buttons, interfacing

• Rivets, hardware, tools, bias tape, stay tape

• Essential sewing tools, measuring tools and more

If it’s visible in the shared area (and not part of our private stock), you are welcome to use it.

We believe in a shared, respectful workspace.

Please return your station to its original setup, put tools back, and do a quick clean—especially if you worked with messy materials like fur, sequins, or glitter.

Trust us—one hour isn’t enough.

By the time you set up your machine, thread, test, organize your fabric, and get settled, you’ll already be packing up.

We recommend:

• Minimum: 2 hours

• 3 hours for a smooth, productive session

• Full-Day Session if you want to sew, relax, grab lunch, and get real work done
