Recent reviews of One-to-one Sewing Workshop

• 5/5 from Barbara Jeffreys, attended Sep 2026: Very informative and relaxed atmosphere. Thank you so much I learnt how to operate my sewing machine and how to select the various stitches. Also how to change bobbins, needles, thread and feet.
• 5/5 from Layla Fullard, attended Sep 2026: Jen the woman who was teaching was very lovely and showed me a lot in the time allocated which was very helpful
• 5/5 from Zoe Fenwick, attended Aug 2026: Tasha was absolutely lovely, very knowledgeable, patient and friendly, she put me completely at ease and was very helpful. The workshop is on a table in the middle of the shop on the 1st floor- this was mostly fine but we did get interrupted several times by people asking for help- Tasha handled this very quickly and well and it didn't impact the time we had, but a more private space might be something to consider in the future. Overall I would definitely recommend, a great experience and I left feeling much more confident with my machine!

• 5/5 from Laura Clarke-Suttle, attended Apr 2026: Tasha was an excellent teacher: patient, incredibly knowledgeable, kind, fun to talk with and put me at ease. Tasha's explanation of some technical parts of the machine (thread tension, needle types) were clear, made lots of sense when explaining the issues with thread tension and helped demystify the machine. All of my questions were answered thoroughly and in a way that made using the sewing machine and planning projects seem achievable and most importantly, enjoyable. It was clear that Tasha was passionate about sewing and wanting to teach students to enjoy using their machine and create projects. I would highly recommend Tasha and this course to anyone wanting to learn more about their machine and sewing projects.

• 5/5 from Gill Grose, attended Aug 2025: Jen was brilliant, had the right machine set up and waiting for me. Her knowledge of the machine and sewing techniques was super, just like being back at school all those years ago in domestic science. Jen took me through everything at my place and made sure I was happy with everything before continuing to the next steps. Jan has given me the confidence to finally unbox my machine and get back into sewing. Fantastic time.
• 5/5 from Angie Crane, attended Jul 2025: I wanted to start sewing again after a 40 year gap, I couldn’t even remember how to thread the machine. The teacher was great, very informative and patient. I did enjoy the session so I may book another.

Thank you Michelle
• 5/5 from Samantha Krinickaite, attended Apr 2025: Jen was extremely helpful and patient and answered all of my questions.

I have had a sewing machine for some time now but have always been nervous using it but this was a great opportunity to talk about the different things I have found difficult and being able to have a go at the same time has given me so much confidence. Now I want to go home and set up the machine to start using it again.

• 5/5 from Tonya Laverick, attended Oct 2024: Tasha was very thorough explaining everything during my hobbie craft sewing machine session. I feel a lot more prepared and have more confidence in my ability to give it a try now. I was able to ask any questions i needed to and Tasha was very helpful at offering guidance and showing my techniques for different materials. I came away with a sewing chart to practice my stitching on the machine. All in all it was brilliant, highly recommend!!
• 5/5 from Linda Robinson, attended Sep 2024: Jen was really good and I learnt everything I needed and additional things as well. Jen as knowledgeable and patient sndcfin to work with. I would definitely book another course for new skills. Thanks Jen x

• 5/5 from Michelle Ingram, attended Jun 2024: I have recently bought a Singer Simple 3223. I am keen to learn how to use every aspect of the new machine, having had only 2 other Singers in 40 years, I needed to review my skills. The tutor, Tasha, was excellent. She was reassuring and knowledgable. The venue (Hull) was well set up in a cool quiet area. A Singer Simple 3223 and accessories were provided. The lesson covered threading, various foot use, specifically a rolled hem, all stitches available, stitch length, buttonhole, sewing on a button, tension. Great value for money and feel confident to use the machine to its potential.
• 5/5 from Unaludo Machacha, attended Jun 2024: I attended for a sewing class as a beginner beginner, i had never sewn before and this lesson was incredibly useful. I left feeling more confident knowing that i could sow myself at home. The teacher was also so kind, cheerful and patient with me. I certainly would recommend.
• 5/5 from Sarah Collins, attended Apr 2024: Absolutely brilliant the teacher was so informative and I learnt so much from obvious things I should have known to more technical things. The whole experience was amazing.Thank you
• 5/5 from Angela Abbott, attended Apr 2024: Very informative, materials supplied. Teacher very friendly and efficient. Easily accessible to get too. Thanks
• 5/5 from Jan Eyton, attended Mar 2024: Relatively new to sewing/dressmaking, I tried to make buttonholes by myself but got very stuck and jammed up my machine. I booked the one-to-one to learn how to make buttonholes (which I did with and without the buttonhole foot) and how to clean and maintain my machine. Tasha (the “original Tasha” at Hull - there are two) was lovely, friendly and helpful. She demonstrated and let me have a go, explaining everything clearly step by step. I would definitely book again for help on a project. The only issue was that the machine in store had an automatic buttonhole feature that mine doesn’t, so I’d like to have been allowed to take my own. I have learned enough that I’ll be able to do a buttonhole manually though.
• 5/5 from Grace Thompson, attended Mar 2024: I booked this class for my 13 year old daughter. Tasha was an excellent teacher, very patient and friendly and explained everything very clearly. Would definitely recommend this session if you have a new sewing machine and need some help getting started.
• 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Feb 2024: Learnt quite a lot, understand my machine a lot more, my daughter also found it very informative. Michelle was a lovely teacher. My daughter used the sample sheets to understand the different stitches
• 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Jan 2024: I throughly enjoyed my one to one sewing session with Jen. I have learnt so much in a short space of time and look forward to attending more classes. Thank you so much for all your help and support

• 5/5 from Harry Fawcett, attended Sep 2023: Very friendly, helpful and informative. 100% would recommend.

I enjoyed a fun session in which all of my questions were answered and I learned everything I wanted to and more.
• 5/5 from Suzanne Macleod, attended Aug 2023: Another really pleasant and useful workship with Jen at Hull. Today we learned how to prepare and insert a zip. It's all in the preparation. We also learned the 'Tailor's Knot' (Tailor's Tangle!) for simple hand stitching too. The tuition space in the Hull store is spacious and relaxing, and anything you need to buy is right there. We think very highly of this tuition, and highly recommend it to anyone learning how to sew with a machine. Thank you, Jen!
• 5/5 from Alison Pullan, attended Aug 2023: I bought a sewing machine a couple of months ago, intending to teach myself how to use it. However I couldn't work it out on my own. But after the session I now feel confident in getting started on some easy projects! The teacher was really good at showing me what to do and then letting me try myself
• 5/5 from Rose Popplewell, attended Aug 2023: Jen our ‘teacher’ was excellent- so friendly, kind and very good at explaining in a calm manner. The store was a good environment for the class and lots of options for crafts and art supplies. All staff we spoke to/ had contact with were really friendly. Learnt how to set the machine up, how to adjust the settings and had the opportunity to put my new learning to the test (I am an absolute beginner). Would recommend the lesson to any other new beginner.
• 5/5 from Suzanne Macleod, attended Jul 2023: Jen took me through the basics of sewing with my new Necchi Pro sewing machine - loading up the thread, selecting a stitch type and length, first few practice seams. She was patient, methodical, very clear, knowledgeable and relaxed. A very good introduction to machine sewing. Looking forward to the next steps.
