• 5/5 from Tabitha Ajao, attended Aug 2026: Alex was an amazing teacher! Was very nice and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and was very patient with me when I had some struggles. I really enjoyed learning how a sewing machine works. I was completely new to sewing and wanted help completing a costume that involved sewing a skirt onto a bodysuit…very advanced for a beginner and Alex was incredibly helpful, he took the time to explain the steps involved while also teaching me the basics of using a sewing machine. I would not have been able to complete this project without him!

• 5/5 from Kylie Davies, attended May 2026: My teacher today was a lovely young man called Alex. I had a small list of general sewing skills I wanted to improve for example, sew a curved edge, using bias binding on a curved edge, setting the tension on my machine and sewing a zip. Alex was brilliant! He told me he really enjoys teaching and he was very good at it. He explained things very well although I have a some sewing experience, I would say he would be excellent at teaching someone who was an absolute beginner. Thank you Alex!!

I’d would highly recommend the workshop.
• 5/5 from Melanie, attended Dec 2023: This was an excellent class! I learned so much in only a hour, like working my machine and troubleshooting possible issues I may come across as well as how to sew a zipper into a bag. The instructor was friendly and knowledgable. She really took her time with me to make sure I fully understood what I was doing and how to best use the machine depending on my project. I would definitely recommend this class for beginners!
• 5/5 from Jackie Marsden, attended Nov 2023: I had a fantastic one-to-one tutorial with Annie at Luton Hobbycraft on how to use a sewing machine. I also needed help to make a decision about which sewing machine to buy. As I am a complete beginner, I very much appreciated Annie’s friendly style and her pace of teaching. She was very patient with me and she covered all of the basics very comprehensively. I left feeling enthusiastic about getting started with using a sewing machine and with a very clear idea of which machine I will buy because Annie took the time to explain to me the specifications of several different ones. My objectives for attending this tutorial were completely met. I can highly recommend this tutorial to anyone who wants to start sewing. Thank you so much.

We discussed the benefits of different machines as well as some top tips on the basics for the machine we were working on.

This session was fantastic value for money.
• 5/5 from Emily Seccombe, attended Apr 2023: My 1:1 class was fantastic, even better than I'd expected from the other positive reviews. My teacher was lovely, great at picking up what to explain and what I already knew, answered all my questions and more, and was inspiring and encouraging. We practiced various stitches and hemming options on the machine, and talked through making clothes from patterns or your own garments, including advice on fabrics and tools. Thanks very much!

She went through all the steps of setting it up including threading the needle and bobbing etc. she also should be different stitches and gave me some great tips on my fist sewing project.
