“The class was fantastic, I really enjoyed it and feel like I left with so much knowledge to get started making and altering clothes. Susan is very personable, friendly and experienced and I really appreciated her knowledge and techniques learned from industry. I feel this knowledge will give me better finishes in future. I wish she did more classes to learn more with her! The small class made it easier to have help as we went through the different tasks, Susan was very patient with us.”

“The class was amazing ! Susan was such a good teacher and gave so much insight into the world of clothes making ! I think I discovered a new hobby during this class. She has a wealth of knowledge ready to share! Initially I thought 5h might be a bit much but I wish I had a full weekend learning about more new things . Highly recommend !”
