“Really enjoyed my pattern drafting session with Jen. It was a very full 2 1/2 hrs but I was able to go at my own pace and didn't feel rushed. I learned a lot and plan to go back for a follow up session.”

“Really enjoyed my private lesson with Jen. She planned the lesson according to my ability/experience really well and I’ve gone away with more confidence and understanding of sewing. Jen really generously shared some scraps and elastic for me to take home and practice. Her manner was really gentle and encouraging. She was attentive and hands on but knew when to step in and help me out.”

“Had a 1:1 pattern drafting lesson with Jen this morning. Jen was patient and friendly. She was happy to share ideas and hacks for what I wanted to do. Finished constructing my pattern and feel confident to come home and create my own project. Will definitely be booking again for he other classes. Thank you Jen.”

“This was a brilliant experience . Jen was sweet , helpful and very knowledgeable, she put me at ease immediately. She was so calm it made the whole experience all the nicer . I’ve been sewing for years and really wanted to learn some new skills, but feared it would be teaching an old dog new tricks - I left the class excited and really enthused for developing my block . I chose trousers 1:1 session and will 100% be back for the bodice version . Don’t hesitate , a super lesson and worth every last penny :)”

“The lesson was so informative and enjoyable. Jen gave me a great overview of how to approach pattern making, and was able to answer any questions I had. A really welcoming environment! I’m definitely keen to learn more about pattern making now.”
