• 5/5 from Hannah Flack, attended Sep 2026: Very good session. I am a complete beginner and have never touched a sewing machine before. Lisa explained everything and different types of sewing machines. I will definitely be booking another one when I have bought my own machine.

• 5/5 from Naomi Hui, attended Jul 2026: Lisa is such a great teacher. She is very patient, approachable and the content delivered is exactly what I needed as a beginner. She is very encouraging and am ready to get myself a sewing machine to continue to challenge myself.
• 5/5 from Libby Coke, attended Jul 2026: Had a wonderful one to one session with Lisa on making the most of my sewing machine. Having used different sewing machines intermittently over the last 45 years, I now have a machine of my own that I wanted to use to it's full potential. Lisa was incredibly patient, reining me back in when I was getting too far ahead of myself. She is very knowledgeable and is happy to share that knowledge. I would highly recommend this course, especially if you are a beginner to using a sewing machine but also advanced sewing machine users would find this useful if they have digital machines they are struggling to find their way around. Would also be a great gift for youngsters showing an interest in sewing. Thank you Hobbycraft and special thanks to Lisa.

• 5/5 from Jodie Philp, attended May 2024: One to one sewing machine workshop, but I loved the fact I could take a friend for An additional £5. Lisa was our teacher, she was friendly, super helpful and enthusiastic! Hobbycraft Chelmsford has a great vibe, the workshop area, although very public was bright, large enough and we weren’t disturbed! The machine I own was available to practise on but my friend bought her own which Lisa was more than happy with and got us both set up straight away! There were scraps of material for us to use to familiarise ourselves with our machines (both complete beginners) but Lisa also gave us some templates to take home and practise with and a little project. After today’s introduction to my machine, I now feel I can start doing simple projects with the support of Hobbycraft online videos and popping into store if needed. This is my second workshop and I would not hesitate to book one in again. Lisa was patient, personable and listened to what we needed from the session.
