I was completely new to sewing before the class, but by the end, I felt much more confident and no longer felt like a complete beginner. I have chosen the 1:1 session.Fiona, the instructor, was absolutely brilliant. She was friendly, patient, very supportive, and made the class enjoyable.

I left the workshop feeling confident and excited to continue sewing. I would definitely recommend this workshop to anyone who likes to sewing.

• 5/5 from Michael Clark, attended Oct 2026: Kate was absolutely wonderful. She was incredibly knowledgeable, with an exceptional amount of experience, and explained everything in such an easy, relaxed, and approachable way. As someone with little to no sewing experience, I was particularly impressed by how she made what initially felt like quite complicated—or even completely unfamiliar—terminology and techniques feel straightforward and manageable. Her expertise really stood out, but she never made me feel out of my depth; she was friendly, patient, and encouraging throughout. I would definitely recommend Kate’s sewing class and would happily book with her again.

Iv never use the machine I took, and Alison hadn't used it before it's electric and complicated but also good.

I left feeling like I have the confidence to keep going and trying with small projects.
