• 5/5 from Kayne Hedley, attended Jul 2025: If anyone asks me anything about sewing or sewing machines I will tell them.... book yourself in at HobbyCraft and you will learn everything you want to know! I had an hour with Annette who I can only describe as a sewing wizard mastermind who just had an incredible amount of knowledge and experience in sewing. Annette explained everything to me, a beginner with ease and patience. She wrote everything down for me and was able to make it really enjoyable at the same time. I had absolutely no confidence before but after my hour with Annette, I went home and showed my mum how to do a button hole! I will definitely go back again once I've tried some of the techniques myself. This is a fantastic present idea for people. A masterclass in sewing is really enjoyable.

• 5/5 from Lindsay Westwood, attended Aug 2021: It was really good to have one to one tuition because as a novice sewer I learned a great deal more about the clever things my sewing machine can do when used correctly. I now have the impetus to have a go at making something with a little more confidence. The lady (sorry, can’t remember her name)who showed me how to use the various settings answered all of my questions and gave me some useful tips and advice.
• 5/5 from Lynne Gouldsmith, attended Aug 2021: Many thanks to Annette at Truro Hobbycraft for such a great 1:1 class yesterday. She showed me everything I needed to know to use my new sewing machine and saved me hours of time, plodding through the manual. It was a great way of learning, to first watch what Annette did, and then to try it for myself. Annette also de-mystified a sewing pattern for me! I now feel confident to be able to start sewing and hopefully progress on from bunting to something more complicated! The class was excellent value for money and was very informative. Thank you Annette!
