“I really enjoyed my private sewing class with Claire. She was very patient, as I’m a total beginner. I will definitely go back for more lessons. I highly recommend anyone wanting to begin their sewing journey start with a lesson from Claire.”
“I am an absolute beginner. I needed to make something for a Mary Poppins inspired number I am going to perform. I shower Claire my ideas and we decided on what would be the easiest for me: a basic bodice pattern. Making the pattern took like an entire hour. At first I had no idea what I was doing and was just following instruction, tracing lines where Clare was telling me to. Once all the proportions were marked and I started connecting the points, it finally made sense when I saw the shape of the garment coming together.
After that, Claire wanted to continue with the pattern for the sleeves but I really wanted to use a sewing machine for the first time so she taught me the basics. We copied the pattern so I could take it home and practice on my own.
It was a good class and I’m excited for more. The only thing I can say is I wish we’d gone through the pattern making faster, since it was done following instructions from the book so I feel like that part could’ve taken less time.”
“The sewing session with Claire was interesting and I accomplished my goals. As a new starter, I learnt how to operate the sewing machine. Claire was welcoming, friendly and patient and explained key concepts in sewing and was comprehensive. Thank you Claire.”
“Massive thumbs up! Joyful way to spend an afternoon learning new skills, reconfirming and expressing some creativity in a friendly snd encouraging space. Awesome location. Total spirit lifter, thank you!”
