Recent reviews of One-to-one Sewing Workshop

• 3/5 from Huong Lan Lee, attended Nov 2025: The teacher was nice. I was impressed that she arrived on the dot when it was about to start. I learnt the very basics of sewing. And she told how to hem my dress. 1 hour wasn't long enough to actually hem the dress. She helped cut my dress to length and there wasn't time to complete the rest which was a bit disappointing. I think the process was a bit slow unfortunately otherwise we would've been able to complete the hemming of the dress. She was rummaging through her bag a few times and sometimes couldn't find the tools needed. I definitely recommend being more prepared next time with all the equipment on hand! A handy tip to save time. We were interrupted by a customer for a few minutes which was really bad because it was eating into my time to learn which I paid for. I personally would've politely suggested to the customer to ask another colleague to help her out. Overall not too bad experience. I liked the teacher but a few things could be improved most certainly!
• 5/5 from Lauren, attended Sep 2025: My teacher was very friendly and helpful- I could ask all my questions and not feel silly. Her instructions were clear and I had time to practise as well. I left feeling confident about starting to use my sewing machine and am excited about starting my first project.

• 5/5 from Catriona, attended Aug 2024: I had bought a new sewing machine and wasn't getting on very well with it. The session was great and I had the chance to talk through the basics of the whole machine and check my understanding of the controls. It was value for money and I would highly recommend. Venue was fine apart from customers letting their kids run around the shop! A sign to other customers saying that there was a teaching session happening might help awkward interruptions.
• 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Jun 2024: I was gifted a 1-2-1 sewing session for my birthday, I have a sewing machine but I didn't know how to use it. Sophie, my tracher, was amazing, she was ready, waiting for me with a sewing machine and materials, so no time was wasted setting up. She listen to what I was looking for with the session and adjusted to my requirements, she was extremely flexible and pleasant. Very knowledgeable and advised of what equipment is essential and what can wait untill I improve. All I can say is a massive thank you to Sophie for an amazing experience. I will definitely do it again and I would definitely recommend

• 5/5 from Ky Bailey, attended Feb 2024: Sophie was the teacher. Very nice lady, really clear with instructions and patient. Would have preferred a more secluded venue as we were on the shop floor which was distracting and it was a little bit annoying as the machine kept jamming. Overall though it was good value for money and would definitely recommend.

• 5/5 from Nicola Manuel, attended Apr 2023: Sophie was friendly and put me at ease. She apologised for the training space and lack of set up like some of the other sites, also for being interrupted (it was clear there was a lack of support on the floor for customers to go to so would ask if the staff member they can see). She was clear on the set up of the machine, what could be used and differences to be aware of with material or thread and stitches. I felt supported when using the machine and on working through issues.

• 5/5 from Alana Moore, attended Jun 2022: I booked the workshop for my 12 year old daughter to learn how to use the new sewing machine she got for her birthday. Charlotte had actually helped me choose the sewing machine initially when i'd come into the store, so I was really pleased to learn she ran workshops. As expected, Charlotte was brilliant with my daughter and made the workshop fun. She was really informative and guided my daughter through the set up, until she felt confident doing it by herself, and then spent time letting her use the machine with some practice fabric. My daughter left feeling really confident, came straight home and hasn't stopped sewing since! I wouldn't hesitate to book another workshop with Charlotte in the future!
• 5/5 from Tania Beretta, attended Apr 2022: Charlotte was very informative and helpful. I learned a lot and will definitely book another session.
• 5/5 from Nicole Rich, attended Jan 2022: Farnborough is very well organised but could do with more space Charlotte was really good and more than happy to assist with any questions or change of direction on what we were talking about. Definately booking with her again! Maybe more space for where the workshop is help
• 5/5 from Sam Archibald, attended Jan 2022: Katie was lovely, she was welcoming, knowledgeable and made me feel absolutely at ease. I was able to start at the point I wanted to and learn. Katie reassured me the whole time and we had a laugh. I would definitely recommend one of these sessions and once I have been and had a play, I will be booking another one to learn more skills. Thank you so much I feel liberated and confident to use my sewing machine now.
• 5/5 from Sashi Kissun-Gray, attended Jan 2022: I booked the one to one sewing workshop for my 12 year old daughter. We bought her a sewing machine for Christmas. She wanted to learn how to thread the machine and how to sew materials together. She was taught how to do this by her tutor Sophia, who was very good with her and she had excellent knowledge of how the machine works. My daughter really enjoyed the lesson and feels confident to sew on her own. I would recommend the workshop, as it was organised and they provided a great service. Mrs. K-Gray
