It was a great class - very relaxed and informal, and our teacher was patient and really helpful. I have much more confidence with my machine now and would recommend to anyone who is a beginner or those who want a refresher.

A great class, learnt all the basics of sewing and how to use the machine. Only a small group so plenty of chance to ask questions. I really enjoyed it and came away with a cushion that I’m very proud of, will be back for more!

Esme was kind and helpful. I liked the venue - warm room, coffee, tea and snacks. I had a great time overall and made a pillow:) All the materials are provided which is also great. Totally recommend!

An excellent, helpful and friendly beginners course [I am at the how to wind my bobbin stage. Informal, but focused on helping us to move forward from whatever position we were in as sewers. I certainly felt I would take another class in the future. Five people, enough to make it enjoyable socially, and small enough to enable Esme [a very serious professional sewer] to get round to help on an individual basis where needed. I really enjoyed it
