“This was a cozy & friendly environment to learn how to make a garment. Jen is so encouraging & patient & gives time to each of us as needed. I loved being able to (re)learn simple things like using scissors to cut material, how to thread a bobbin & ultimately make my first ever pair of trousers! Thank you Jen for the materials, good atmosphere & positive vibes all along the way :-)”

“I really enjoyed this class. The tuition was given individually according to the project you wanted to complete. The class size was small which meant the teacher was able to help whenever assistance was required. The facilities were first rate and there was plenty of room for everyone. Highly recommended.”

“Really enjoyed this class. Jen gives you alot of creative freedom to pick a project you’ll enjoy and supports each student at their skill level and pace. She’s really friendly and encouraging and I couldn’t wait to go back to class each week. I’ve made a fantastic garment and had loads of compliments! Would definitely be keen to try another one of her classes in the future.”

“Jenifer is an excellent and knowledgeable teacher. This is my second four-week session with her, and she conducts the course in a relaxed yet professional manner. Even if you are an experienced sewer, you will still learn a lot. You definitely get your money's worth from this course :)”

“Excellent experience. Jen is a great teacher - she gives very clear instructions and hands-on assistance when needed. I also thought she did a great job of directing four quite different projects in parallel so that the four of us students were able to achieve what we wanted to within the class. I'm looking forward to taking another course with Jen to refine my skills.”
