What’s New At Chillie — And It Is Very Good News.


Chillie just got even bigger. And we could not be more excited about it. Whether you are looking for sewing classes in London, creative workshops in Notting Hill, things to do with kids this half term in London, or an incredible family day out in Margate — you are in exactly the right place.



Adults. We Have Been Waiting For You.




This is something we have wanted to do for a very long time. For two years we have been running Chillie Kids Club, watching kids discover what they are capable of. Watching them pick up a needle, sit down at a sewing machine, get their hands on a piece of old fabric — and just completely come alive. The pride on their faces when they finish something they made themselves? There is nothing like it. And we kept thinking — adults need this too.

So we created our adults only creative workshops right here at our Notting Hill shop — and honestly? After Chillie Kids Club, we think it might just be the best idea we have ever had. We have three workshops on offer — pick the one that’s calling your name.



Sewing Classes London


 Ever wanted to learn how to use a sewing machine properly? This is your moment. Our professional seamstress will teach you how to sew onto fabric using different techniques — and by the end of the session you will have made something with your own hands. Bring your own machine or borrow one of ours. Zero experience needed. All levels completely welcome.


 Crochet Classes London


 Learn the basics from scratch and start making something in the session. Relaxing, creative and seriously addictive. Warning: you will want to come back.



Upcycling Workshops London


 Bring something old or use one of ours. Cut it, stitch it, customise it, repair it. Leave with something you’ll actually want to wear.

Group bookings only — minimum 6 people. Available during the day or in the evening. Birthday? Hen do? Team day out? We will make it completely unforgettable.




359 Portobello Road, Notting Hill, London


Two hour session — £25 per person


Three hour session — £35 per person








Teens Only Upcycle Club — Teen Workshops In London Just Got A Whole Lot Better.




Teaching the next generation is everything to us. It always has been. And now we have created something specifically for teenagers — their own creative space. No adults. No little kids. Just 11 to 16 year olds, old clothes, scissors and sewing machines — and three hours of pure creative freedom. Upcycle an old jacket. Customise a pair of jeans. Make something nobody else has. Our team will guide them every step of the way — but this is their space and their designs entirely. We genuinely believe there are some serious future designers in this crowd. We cannot wait to meet them.


Wednesday 27 May — Clapton, Palm 2 Deli, 156 Lower Clapton Road, E5


Thursday 28 May — Portobello Road, 359 Portobello Road, London W10


11 to 16 year olds — 3 hours — £25
