“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 !”

“Susan was very friendly and welcoming. The class was amazing, I had never used a sewing machine before and went home feeling so much more knowledgeable as the class covered a full range of topics. All the demonstrations/ explanations were great, we each got individual attention when practicing everything on the machine and answers readily given to any questions we had. Tip: The studio is inside a sort of courtyard and have to enter this open area to see the right building with its sign instead of trying an entrance from outside the courtyard.”
