  • 5/5 from Shireen Aga, attended Oct 2024: A great course, you come away with a step by step booklet and pattern for you to make your own skirts at home. The group was small so I think everyone had the support they needed. Lots of very useful hints and tips too! Loved it!
  • 5/5 from Nancy Burgess, attended Mar 2024: This course was so much fun, and so friendly. I found the fabulous Kate to be a wonderful teacher: so precise, helpful and encouraging. I have gone from hapless novice to confident sewer within a few short weeks. I would highly recommend Make Mee courses to anyone who wants to start sewing lovely things for themselves.
  • 5/5 from Renee O'Drobinak, attended Mar 2023: Really enjoyed the course - it was a very relaxed and friendly vibe throughout. Our instructor, Kate, was knowledgeable and lovely.
  • 5/5 from Chloe Kazantzis, attended Mar 2023: I've found the tutor Kate on beginners dressmaking how to make a skirt to be so lovely and helpful. Emailing with Tracey has been easy to get in touch and ask questions, let them know if I am unable to make a session. I can thoroughly recommend and really enjoying my class, it's fast paced but they also take steps slowly
  • 5/5 from Kim, attended Jul 2022: So much fun, great set by step instruction, friendly environment, would highly recommend!
