Recent reviews of Granny Squares Crochet Workshop
- 5/5 from Lynne Innes, attended Jun 2026: Interesting class and the teacher was very patient / knowledgeable
- 5/5 from Syba Sunny, attended Mar 2026: Really fabulous class! The garden studio was so cute and cosy (and warm!). The teacher was the epitome of polite, professional and patient. I messed up so many times and she never made me feel bad. I booked this class as a sort of self-care and I came out feeling so good. Thank you so much!
- 5/5 from Sairah Khalid, attended Feb 2026: A wonderful class. I came away being able to make a granny square being a complete beginner to crochet. Nelly is a great teacher, very patient. She took her time to teach us all the steps and made sure we were comfortable before moving onto the next step. She also provided drinks and snacks which I thought was a lovely touch. Great fun, I would definitely recommend this class!
- 5/5 from Lisa Smith, attended Feb 2026: Myself and my daughter attended the granny squares crochet class on Sunday 1st February 2026. We were both beginners with no crochet experience. We were welcomed very warmly into nellys home and taken to a beautiful studio in her garden, all kitted out and ready for our class. We were offered pastries and drinks on arrival along with two other ladies. From the start the class was calm and very informative. Nelly was very patient and attentive throughout the 2 and a half hour class and I was very impressed at her knowledge and skills. By the end of the class I can honestly say myself and my daughter can crochet! I would definitely recommend this class to beginners or above. Thankyou very much for a really enjoyable experience.
- 5/5 from Tanzeela Khalid, attended Feb 2026: A fantastic workshop! Would definitely recommend!!! Nelly was a great teacher. She was very knowledgeable and friendly throughout. Even when I kept making errors, she clearly showed me how to fix them. The teaching steps were very clear and easy to follow, and the resources available were great. I would definitely attend another workshop again!
Your teacher
Hi! I've been sewing, cooking, and crafting for decades. I just love being creative and teaching others to do the same, so much so that I qualified as a textiles and food teacher over 15 years ago and have been teaching ever since. I'm also qualified in couture hand sewing techniques, bridal wear, pattern cutting, and soft furnishings. My embroidery kit business, Nelly Makes, was born through my love for embroidery. Embroidery, to me, is my time to unwind and recenter, and I figured other people could do with having the same experience. Since opening the business, my work has been featured in Cosmopolitan magazine, Homestyle magazine, Buzzfeed, Kirstie's Handmade Christmas, and also Love Embroidery Magazine. I've taught more crafting and cooking classes than I can remember, so you're in good hands with me!
