“An excellent class on machine sewing. Completely practical with demonstrations of everything we needed to do plus individual support during the session. We learned all the steps you need to make a professional looking garment, with lots of tips and an insight into pattern cutting. We also got advice on choosing the right sewing machine for our needs. I haven't used a sewing machine in years, but today's class has given me the confidence to go off and start making my own clothes.”

“Had such a great day on this sewing course. Absolutely perfect for complete beginners (like me) who want to learn all the basics and then some! I started the day with minimal knowledge and came out feeling confident to start trying patterns and actually making things. Susan is so knowledgeable and although there’s a lot of information to cram in it’s a really good pace and she takes her time to help you 121 when needed. Would definitely recommend!”

“Susan is a great teacher. Very knowledgeable and patient. The course is intense but worth it as I learnt so much about sewing within a short period of time. It was also nice to be learning with others at a similar ability level and everyone was very friendly.”
