“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.”

“It was a great workshop. I am a complete beginner. I have never touched a sawing machine in my life before today. The teacher Susan is brilliant. She is very patient with people like me I have had such a great time and can’t wait to buy my first machine.”
