As you know Little Hands runs a Bursary scheme to subsidise access to our courses for children on free school meals. In this difficult environment we are sensitive to asking too loudly but wanted to remind everyone that we will match any contributions you kindly make! You can send cheques to our usual address or email us for more info - thank you

Did you know that Vivienne Westwood started by ripping T-shirts and spray painting them?! Develop your own style, experiment with different materials, design with or without dressmaking patterns and master the sewing machine! We offer hands-on fun with fashion for everyone from 8-88 years!
You don't have to know how to thread a needle - we teach great creative skills for all levels from absolute beginner to advanced.

Are you looking for creative ideas for a birthday party or a ‘design and technology’ project at school or for an imaginative hobby to develop and share in one of our regular courses?

We are based in North West London (Hampstead & Highgate) and offer:

Little Hands Design Students show @ London Fashion Week 2010

Our modules on pattern making, textile design, jewellery or accessory making, fashion history and more are filled with exciting projects for all dexterity levels.

Get a little taste and try out one of our craft and sewing kits which come complete with fabrics, instructions and patterns and are all tried and tested by our students!

Maybe you like designing but have not got the time to put your ideas into reality? Treat yourself or someone special to a made-to-order leather handbag or let your child design her own clothes and turn heads with a truly individual style!

Call us on 0207-431 0573 or send us a mail to info@LittleHandsDesign.com for more information!

When we went to the Fashion and Textile museum, I got inspired by a graphite short dress.

Alice, student

Thank you so much for all the confidence you have given Alex. I am so impressed by the serious thought, planning and extraordinary level of flexibility you offer!

Claire, mother of Alex

She has thoroughly enjoyed the term and the manner in which the classes are held is a credit to yourself. It seems to me that the little room is an oasis of calm and order while at the same time a lot of fun. This is both an unusual and potent combination which she herself has recognised and commented on! Thank you!!!

Saul, dad of Sophie

Forget shopping therapy!!! I am now so looking forward to our weekly sessions and the effects last much longer!
