Loved this class! I’ve always wanted to get into using a sewing machine but thought it too intimidating. This class made it feel so easy. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, you had plenty of time to practice with the machine and also make something by the end. Emma was a great teacher, she was very patient and encouraging. Because it’s a smaller class you really get a chance to pick apart any issues that occur and learn the basics fully. I highly recommend this class. I feel like I’ve come away really confident in my starter skills with a sewing machine. Such a fun day!

Cerri was fantastic - perfect blend of energy, humour, knowledge and concentration! I had never touched a sewing machine before, but by the end of the day I was ‘adding one to cart.’ Wholeheartedly recommend.

Had a fantastic time being taught by Kerry in Foundation Class. Taught in small groups and the pacing was spot on. As stated, I brought my own sewing machine and now feel fully confident using this machine to make my own projects after direction under Kerrys tutilage. Begining with the basics, such as learning how spool and thread the machine, we were also taught about the different settings on the machines and practiced stitches before sewing a pillow cushion cover. Felt so accomplished and would definetely sign uo for the follow up intermediate and garments making classes.

Such a wonderful beginner class! Kerry our teacher went at a great easy pace, so kind, helpful and patient. The cushion cover is a great first project. I liked the way we watched step by step what we were doing first, then had a go, with lots of help on hand if needed.
