Recent reviews of One-to-one Sewing Workshop

• 3/5 from Nicky Taylor, attended Nov 2023: I was 10 mins late but it took another 15-20 mins to get started as the power lead couldn’t be found. I did expect to get those minutes back. Unfortunately the lady I was booked in for was sick, and I wish her well. Kat did her best, but the session was quite disjointed.
• 5/5 from Nicky, attended Oct 2023: Lovely and informative lesson with Donna. Made me completely at ease and she was very knowledgeable.
• 4/5 from Denise Pratt, attended Oct 2023: Donna was a very nice lady helped me a lot but I must say an hour wasn’t really enough time but £32 for two hours would be too expensive for me thank you

• 5/5 from Wendy Ricketts, attended Sep 2023: I went to Harlow Hobbycraft and had an hours tutorial with Donna about sewing machines. It was very enjoyable and Donna went through all the different machines and I discussed what I was looking for.

• 5/5 from Marjorie Offord, attended Aug 2023: My tutor was Donna, a very experienced crafter. I have recently bought a 32S Hobbycraft sewing machine and wanted to learn all about it. Donna talked me through and showed me every function of the machine from identifying all the parts and threading the cotton, to doing fancy stitches, buttonholes and inserting zips. She had given me so much confidence. I can’t wait to get started.

• 5/5 from Lisa West, attended May 2023: Donna was great, really knowledgeable and helpful. The Harlow store itself is under-going a re-design so the “demonstration/classroom” space was not set up sadly. Perhaps should have mentioned when booking to bring own fabric, cotton etc. Also if you want a “how to” on a particular model of sewing machine to ask for this information when booking, rather than on arrival as the confirmation email suggests. The experience was definitely good value – Donna’s worth every penny! I learnt a lot about all the different functions, fabrics and needle choices for the perfect finish. Thank you Donna, can highly recommend.

• 4/5 from Jane Dring, attended Jan 2022: My teacher was Donna and she was friendly and welcoming. The staff were surprised that I had been instructed by email Not to bring my own machine so had to find a machine the same as the one I own. I had prepared questions and Donna worked through all of them. I was not offered the chance to use the machine myself but I was able to watch Donna demonstrate how to select and use the different stitches, also how to maintain the machine.

• 5/5 from Lynda Baker, attended Nov 2021: Teacher (Donna in Harlow) was excellent. She started by asking what I wanted to get out of the session, then proceeded to go through everything I wanted to know. She had me practise everything several times until I felt comfortable. Left feeling much more knowledgeable and keen to start using my sewing machine in earnest.

• 5/5 from Linda Seaman, attended Aug 2021: Donna was absolutely brilliant! As a complete novice with a new sewing machine, I now have some basic sewing skills. Thank you Donna for your patience and excellent knowledge, I will be booking another session soon.
• 5/5 from Pam Mulholland, attended Aug 2021: Donna the trainer was very knowledgeable.

A sign telling other customers that a workshop is underway to say the trainer dealing with multiple customer interruptions.
