Really patient, helpful teacher. Was brilliant at giving us all individual attention. I came out with greater confidence. I'm looking forward to working on my crochet and I'll probably go back further along the line for more help!

Julie John Apr 2024


Eden explained all the basics during my sewing lesson. Sewing machines hold no fear for me now! Thank you Eden.

Janice Hiorns Apr 2024


The lesson was very good, Eden taught us well.
She went through all the lesson with great patience and went through the steps that we could understand.
Good value. I was pleased with what I had achieved.

Rebecca Hales Apr 2024

The kids did enjoy it, but I felt it was very rushed and not well planned. I had to ask for water to clean the brushes. The paint didn’t print very well (it was too watery) and the workshop host didn’t explain things very well. It almost felt like she didn’t want to be there.
For the price it about covered the materials otherwise I’d have complained.

Helen Sweeney Apr 2024


My daughter had a great time making flowers and wands with Eden who was fantastic

Lisa Apr 2024

The only trouble the time went to quick.

We did the beginners crochet lessons for a 12th birthday. It was a great introduction and we all came away knowing the basics of how to crochet. The materials given were very generous.

Truthful and honest help, so really appreciated it!
Thank you!

Megan Mar 2024


Teacher was lovely and venue had good space to work.
Material was provided. Loved the wool and colours. Been to class before and this was good to refine skills for my project. Was a lot of fun and finally got to grips with a magic circle which she taught as extra for some of us who wanted to. Very happy as I completed my first project

Edith was fantastic, really helpful and very supportive of my efforts I will return to do another beginners class as I feel I am still a beginner but next time will be able to bring a bit of understanding.

Sue Hughes Mar 2024


The occasion was one that I wanted to learn to crochet
The teacher was amazing, patient knowledgeable and really inspiring
Good materials to work with
Shame there were no bags left
I learnt to cast on and to do a couple of different stitches as well as the technique to start a new row. Good value for money.
The instructors excellent people skills in teaching us.
I shall return again.

Mary Hacker Mar 2024


Everything about this class was good. Eden was very patient and explained things very well.

Jacky Mar 2024


Crochet beginners, Eden the tutor gave clear demonstrations she was very patient and approachable, a group of 4 so plenty of time to help everyone and very informative, learnt basic stitches also advised about the different yarns. A relaxed atmosphere didn't notice people using the store Great value for money. Would definitely recommend.
Thankyou Eden

Rumyana Dimitrova Mar 2024


Really enjoyable and friendly! Lovely teacher, I would definitely attend another course! Thank you very much!

Hannah Laban Mar 2024


The colleague that did my class was a great help with showing how to get started with my machine. Although my exact machine wasn't available to use, she was knowledgeable on all the machines available in the store and was able to talk me through each aspect my machine had.

Kylie Parker Jones Feb 2024


My 9 year old daughter and I found this very helpful. Learning the basics of using a machine for my daughter and a little refresher for myself. Would highly recommend. The teacher was lovely very informative

Michelle Higbey Feb 2024


We booked a sewing workshop to go over how the sewing machine works and understanding patterns.
Eden the teacher was brilliant! She was really friendly and very knowledgeable.
She answered all of our questions and showed us examples which really helped us understand how things work.
I would recommend

Desna Brooks Feb 2024


Attended the beginners crochet class today at Cheltenham Hobbycraft. The instructor Eden was lovely, initially showing us from making a slip knot to start a chain to us all making a square of double & treble crochet. Eden took time with each person as needed to support the individual learning.

Catherine Feb 2024


Daughter and I attended the beginners crochet workshop. It was a relaxed experience with a small group of friendly classmates. Eden was just lovely. She recognised what we needed to make the event work for us and was very knowledgeable. Nice to be able to pick our own yarn.

Francesca Higgins Feb 2024


Eden was fantastic! What a fabulous teacher to help begin my journey to crocheting. I attended with my husbands aunt (71) and we both had a brilliant time and have come away with a new skill. The lesson was relaxed and comfortable which made it a great environment to learn. Eden was so knowledgeable and great with sharing her knowledge and passion. Really enjoyed it and will be booking again for the Granny Square!

Serena Menell Feb 2024


Eden was really friendly, very patient and a great teacher. We picked up the basics of crochet and came away with the materials we need to continue.

Amy Feb 2024


My two children really enjoyed this activity and I got to sit and relax while the fantastic teacher really engaged them with the activity and helped them when required. The teacher was very friendly, kind and patient.

Carrie Goodwin Feb 2024


Very Good.
Chris was the best teacher we have experienced and we have done a fair few activities now.

Claire Feb 2024


Chris at the Cheltenham store was great. We booked a private class for 7 girls aged 6-7 and they did a flower wand class. All the girls had a great time and came away with a great wand. Would recommend.

Anonymised ClassBento student Feb 2024


Eden was very pleasant and helpful.
Enjoyed the class and a good start to my crochet journey

Vikki Matthews Feb 2024


Great introduction to crochet with Eden today. I can confirm Eden has the patience of a Saint. I've been working at my rows this evening. Enjoying the flow!

Textiles class review by Vikki Matthews - Gloucester

Julia Sanderson Feb 2024


Eden was lovely, kind and patient. She had good knowledge of the store stock and how to grow my new hobby.
Thoroughly enjoyed and would recommend.

Rose Hyde Jan 2024


Lovely class with a lovely teacher. Small group so there were group instructions but then a lot of individual attention where different group members were working on different things. Really pleased to have crocheted a little square. Lots of tips from the teacher for further instruction. I would book again!

Ellen Yeates Jan 2024


A fantastic one-one crochet session. My teacher was kind and patient. She explained the instructions very carefully. With it being a one-one I could go at my own pace and ask specific questions. We were able to cover changing yarn, increasing and decreasing stitches, magic ring and working in the round. It was an extra treat to take away two balls of yarn and a crochet hook. I now have lots of techniques to revisit and practice. Excellent value for money, I really enjoyed it. Thank you.

Issy Jan 2024


Lovely teacher, who helped myself and my daughter learn crochet.

Lots to learn, but we really enjoyed it. A really relaxing session too, would highly recommend.

Louise James Jan 2024


Really useful beginner class and helpful tips from Eden , got much further than with YouTube

Pottery class review by Laura - Gloucester

Jessica Dec 2023


I took my 5 year old nephew a few weeks ago to make baubles and he really enjoyed it so decided to sign up to the clay figure one with him. When we walked into the shop he said he hoped it was Eden again and it was ( this was so lovely to hear as he has additional needs). Eden was so patient with him and made the activity really fun. He really enjoyed himself again and can’t wait to go back- thank you!

Terry Willett Dec 2023


It was a small class which was good as you were given individual attention. The teacher was very patient as I couldn’t seem to pick up the technique straight away and something that will need to be worked on. The hands on approach much better than being shown a tutorial and you are being watched every step and you are guided in the right direction. Practice will make things easier and I was given a website to visit for extra help. It was a good introduction to crochet. Came away with 2 balls of wool, a crochet hook and the piece of crochet done during the class. Would recommend anyone interested in starting to crochet to book a session.

Textiles class review by Terry Willett - Gloucester

Yasmin Wilson Dec 2023


Great fun and lovely teacher. Such a great deal as well- being able to make three crafts

Susan Nairne Dec 2023


A sweet class making Christmas Decorations. Eden was kind patient and encouraging with the children.
It is a shame it's only half an hour as small children can't be hurried .
Thank You Hobbycraft.

Kelly May Nov 2023


We had a really great time at the craft class thank you. We were actually the only class booked in and were so greatful it was still on for us. Helen was wonderful showing us what to do and my son had a fab time and is really proud of his models. Thank you.

Kim Young Nov 2023


I attended the Christmas decoration class with my 2 daughters, aged 8 and 6. The teacher (Eden at Cheltenham Hobbycraft) was wonderful with the children. The teacher was super helpful, gave some inspiration and supported the children when it was needed. She praised them for their efforts and this really boosted their confidence. The materials were all great and it has made me buy more so we can replicate the craft at home!

Bryndis Moffat Nov 2023


I took my two daughters to a Christmas decoration class and they absolutely loved it, the teacher (I think her name was Edith? She had blue hair) was so lovely and gave plenty of ideas and was very encouraging with my two daughters on their decorations, she kept reminding us we didn’t need to hurry and just made the experience really fun, I would definitely book again!

Abigail Taylor Nov 2023


Lovely hour spent with Chris, we didn’t manage to finish in the hour but he gave clear guidance on what to do next.

Alex was very knowledgeable and explained a great deal regarding the Cricut options and their versatility. I would recommend this workshop to anyone.

Jodie Ironside Nov 2023


The teacher Eden was excellent she explained things really well and was patient when I asked for some extra help. She was really nice to talk to and I feel the class really helped start me on my crocheting journey

Anonymised ClassBento student Nov 2023


A patient, fun & engaging instructor.
It was ok being at an open table in the shop apart from other customers asking where items are located.
Primary colours used for demo/workshop.
It was a good introduction to the craft, the session did feel rushed towards the end and the items didn’t fully dry to then transport home.
Ceramic marbling, similar to hydro dipping - liked how no 2 items are the same.
I purchased the paints and have now dipped all the ceramic decs I’ve been buying over the years!

Stephanie Grindle Nov 2023


The teacher was great and even experimented using the paint on different materials. Got a lot of baubles to take home that all look lovely.

Jill Hetherington Nov 2023


The teacher was excellent and the session was very good value as I came away with wool and a crochet hook which almost covered the cost of the workshop. I would definitely recommend this workshop to anyone who wants to begin to learn to crochet

Sue Moore Nov 2023


An excellent workshop. With it being 121 I was able to ask questions and get answers straight away. Knowing that Alex had the same machine as me was also a bonus as she knew all the hints and tips. She also helped me with the accessories I needed to purchase. A lovely hour, thank you.

Tanzia Noel Freeman Nov 2023


Explained very well, good interaction. Worth paying for classes, Thanks Eden.

Fantastic workshop with a fab workshop leader, Eden. She was fantastic with the children and was so enthusiastic

Sally Essery Oct 2023


Really good class for my 3 year old. Teacher was great and materials used were good. My 3 year old loves his bat, pumpkin and ghost making. Definitely recommended.

Yasmin Wilson Oct 2023


Helen was so lovely. Really great teacher and also super laidback which was fab as my 3 year old had a couple of strops and wanted to go rogue with her bat design.

Kelly May Oct 2023


This was a great class, thank you. Eden, the teacher, was really lovely and was great in showing the children what to do, she gave them really positive feedback on their creations. A lovely class and we’ve already booked again for a Christmas one.

Carla Draper Oct 2023


My 8-year-old daughter really enjoyed this workshop! The teacher was lovely and made sure to check all the kids understood what to do. The only reason for 4 stars and not 5 was I felt it was a tiny bit rushed, 40mins woulds be a better length in my opinion. But, really great value for money and I'd definitely recommend.

Claire Booth Oct 2023


I took my 3 children to the Halloween haunted house class and they loved it! For a full hour they were engrossed in the activity, and Eden was super helpful and fun! My kids loved her!

Very friendly class, informative tutor, first time of learning basic crochet stitches. Would definitely recommend.

Elizabeth Cooke Oct 2023


The tutor was very patient with the five of u and explained everything clearly. She mad sure we all understood how to do the stitches and checked our progress frequently. The store was clean and tidy with all of the other members of staff being polite and helpful. I will definitely be doing another workshop there.

Susan Oct 2023


I knew nothing much about crochet although I knit and found this a great introduction with a patient teacher and good materials provided.
I feel motivated to keep at it now!

Mel Curtis Oct 2023


Tracey-Jane was so lovely, we clicked immediately.
Venue was fine, we may of struggled if more than 2 of us.
Loved the materials and Tracey showed us many different ways to use them.
We learnt how to make an autumn wreath, it was a great hour!
I will definitely be looking at other classes and booking.
It was good value for money (between £20/£30 is about right) and I know have a lovely wreath on my door

Joanne Aug 2023


Eden was lovely, friendly and patient. She explained the materials and equipment and went through the basics of crochet ensuring I was comfortable and understood.
Eden took the time after the session to take me through all the materials, equipment and accessories available in store as well as to recommend resources online for getting started.

Pip Claridge Aug 2023


I really enjoyed my workshop. Tracy (teacher) was knowledgeable, patient and encouraging. Yarn and a crochet hook were provided, which I hadn't expected, so that was a bonus and I took them home with me afterwards. I learned chain stitch plus single, double and treble crochet, and have managed to remember how to do it! I thought the class was really good value for money, and am looking forward to developing my new found skills. Thank you Tracy :)

What a lovely session! My daughter was the only person that came, and Eden made her feel welcome and relaxed within minutes.
The task was clearly explained and my daughter’s creativity was encouraged and praised by Eden. We now have a lovely beady wind chime to take home :-)
We even booked to do the next clay session the same afternoon!
Thank you

Emily Brown Aug 2023


Our teacher, Helen, was amazing she really helped my daughter with her textiles GCSE, she was very nice and friendly and helped us think of ideas, although the showing machine had issues that couldn’t be fixed by anyone other than the bin she tried her best to help us and was great at teaching thank you so so much

Enthusiastic teacher. Good range of resources. Great project, kept them busy for ages with lots of room for the children's own creativity.

Rebecca Tasie Aug 2023


Tracy was brilliant. She knew what she was talking about and crocheted along with me so I could see what she was doing. I feel a lot more confident now about crocheting alone. Also, I was really impressed that I got 2 balls of yarn and 2 hooks that I wasn’t expecting to get.

Great teacher and fully engaged with my grand children. Only issue was waiting for the paint to dry - maybe have a hair dryer handy next time ? Grandchildren fully enjoyed it though, and so that's a success in my book.

Penny Harvey Aug 2023


Friendly, very patient and helpful teacher, I will need lots more practice but I’m confident I now have the basic idea. Teaching area was a little cramped as it was on the shop floor, perhaps a separate teaching area would be more comfortable. Generous craft supplies provided with the course, plenty of yarn to practice with

Hannah Brown Aug 2023


Teacher lovely but a bit flustered & couldn’t really help when people couldn’t understand what to do. It would have been better to use a larger needle & wool do you could see the stitches clearer. I wouldn’t recommend.

Emma Turner Aug 2023


Tracey was very good at showing us step by step how to do chain stitch, double and triple crochet. She was happy to go round and deal with individual questions patiently and with a very helpful manner.
The course was good value for money and all the materials were supplied.

This workshop was amazing from start to finish! The instructor Eden was lovely, so patient with me.

I was also give yarn and a crochet hook to take away. I'm definitley going to do more workshops with hobbycraft.

I have always taken my daughter to hobby craft work shops and recommended them to family and friends, even with the increase in price. However this time I was a little disappointed as although the signs were of good quality there was not a lot of choice of things to design the sign with. We also only had one pack of pens to share between everyone. Although the staff member was very lovely and took an interest in all the children present. The whole thing just had an air of disorganisation.

She explained things in a way my daughter would understand which was nice to see. However it felt like the class was a little short. Overall a really good experience and we love coming to the hobby craft in house workshops. Thanks

Eden was absolutely great. Really enjoyed the whole session. Just having two customers was excellent.

Alice Wise Nov 2022


Teacher was great ( Melissa), explained well, gave help when needed and was very patient as we were a private session who talk lots. Table was quite small for 6 but we made do- 2 power outlets would have maybe been a problem if we didn't know each other. Loved materials and the amount given, workshop gave great ideas. Amazing value!
Loved that there were example baubles for inspiration.
Would definitely book again!

The lady taking the class only knew today, even though we booked this class months ago. We finished within the hour. Not good value for money.

Sandra Smith Nov 2022


Lovely teacher with lots of knowledge. Perfect size group and lots of help available. Had a lovely crafty evening

Lynn Hearfield Nov 2022


The teacher was very patient and explained things well. I enjoyed learning about marbling ceramic baubles, and feel confident about using these skills in the future.

Lyndsey Butler Nov 2022


Our tutor Chris was excellent! He made our experience fun and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The kit was great value for money and has left us with more of the product to use at home. Only wish there were single colour paints to top up with in store.
Absolutely loved the art we made. Overall a great afternoon!

This was a brilliant session. The teacher (Tracy) was very flexible to my needs and helped me a great deal by patiently showing me techniques and tips and tricks. I gained a great deal of information and really enjoyed myself.

Dottie Moore Nov 2022


I had very informative hour with Alex, the tutor, and I definetly improved my knowledge of Cricut Design Space. I also found looking at all the products Cricut sell within the store was useful and as a result I'm considering extending my use of my Cricut Maker to make other crafts.
Alex was very knowledgable and friendly and it was great to spend some time with her chatting about Cricut.

Eden took a 1-2-1 sewing class for me, I benefitted a lot from her knowledge, and together we worked out the order of work needed to complete a dress pattern that I am making currently. She was really helpful and supportive, it was a great session. The facilities are brilliant at Cheltenham hobbycraft.

Becki Albrighton Oct 2022


Today we attended our first craft workshop at Hobbycraft Cheltenham with my 5 & 7 year olds. From arrival the teacher was calm and engaging. She skilfully taught the techniques, encouraging independent creativity along the way.
This session has inspired us to do further clay modelling at home.
A superb course which was great value for money. We shall be looking to book subsequent similar sessions in future and recommending to our friends. My daughter is now sharing her masterpieces with anyone who visits. Thank you Hobbycraft.

Such a wonderful time! Unfortunately the pumpkins had been damaged during delivery but Chris emailed us in advance with a great alternative! We made clay bats and ghosts and my little girl loved it So much so, we then had to buy some more clay on the way home to carry on the creations at home! So great, Chris was wonderful too and so encouraging and kind!

Just had a lesson with Tracy she showed me around my sewing machine, as I hadn't used it for some years. She was really knowledge, and has helped me with choices on thread, zips and interfacing. She was really helpful and encouraging. The facilities are excelent in the Cheltenham branch, and they stock a good selection of fabrics etc.

Good value for money and good materials provided. Glad the shop wasn't busy though as we were on the shop floor and in the public eye, with customers asking the tutor questions through the class. Tracey was very accommodating and patient and we did cover a lot. Not sure what to do with it now, as no information on what projects a beginner could do or how to read patterns.

A great workshop for kids. Lots of clay provided and ideas of what to make.

Sophie Chambers Aug 2022


My children had a great time. I'm not sure if the teacher was nervous but they didn't really interact with us or the children. They did a model of their own but didn't explain how to do it so we ended up following the paper instructions. It was value for money as my children made a few models out of 1 packet of clay. This is the second Hobbycraft workshop we have done and would love to come back for another.

Eden at Hobbycraft Cheltenham was great at showing me how to thread the sewing machine and how to make basic stitches, just what I wanted. She also showed me around the haberdashery, talked me through the machines they stock and gave me lots of great tips on how to get started! I have been inspired

Kids' Jubilee Me Workshop review by Laura  - Gloucester

Gillian Clark May 2022


The instructor was very pleasant and knowledgeable. She went through the Cricut techniques quite fast, but covered the points I asked about and was happy to go over certain points again. I should probably have done more myself rather than just watching, as it's easier to learn that way. But generally it was very useful and I will do further workshops with you.

Sandie Baker Apr 2022


This workshop was a birthday gift from my family and a lovely surprise! I thoroughly enjoyed every moment and the time went too quickly. Ben was an excellent tutor and I was lucky to be the only particpant so benefited totally from his expertise. The chairs were a little low and the table on the small side, but I managed okay. I was surprised by the amount and quality of the resources provided and am looking forward to practicing my new skill. Thank you

Little one enjoyed the craft and great value for money.

However, it was a shame no one else attended the same session. Would have preferred Hobbycraft to have offered a cancellation before attending and to have rebook on a busier session. Will book again but will phone ahead to check there will be others attending.

Kids' Bonnet Making Workshop review by Lucy Lyons - Gloucester

Barry Lambert Apr 2022


I really enjopyed the session and got a great deal from it. I have been using machines like this for over 20 years in schools but software and drivers esepcially have rendered most of the machines unusable. So time to have a look at these. Have spent a lot of time reading about them, good and bad reviews, wathcing you tube and looking at them in store but nothing beats having a 1:1 look at them. They look to be very versatile machines and we will be buying one of the bigger machnies this school year and possible some of the smaller vinyl cutters next year.

Jo Kitching Apr 2022


Great materials but some items wouldn’t stick to hat. It needed a glue gun which you had but there was no socket. I ended up having to take bits home to glue on.

Hema Bongirwar Mar 2022


Enjoyed a lot , it’s good to learn some new art & I would like to explore more new art. Teacher & teaching was perfect & guality of products provided we’re also good . I would love to do advance level class.

Julie Turvey Mar 2022


Eden was great. She was very personable and was skilled at the craft. She went above and beyond to help develop my skills. A great starter pack too.

Jackie Lyons Feb 2022


The teacher was very nice and helped with ideas I think maybe there could of been a few more materials and maybe £3 for the class

Jessica Prinsloo Feb 2022


The lady was lovely,but unfortunately the app was not working and we could not connect to the machine at all

She did answer some questions and showed and told me about cricut products, however, questions I had have been left unanswered.

Mrs Cornwell Feb 2022


I met Tracey at Cheltenham hobbycraft today for a tutorial on my new machine. She was amazing and took me through everything my machine could do. The hour went by very quickly and I enjoyed it very much. She showed me every part of the machine and what it could do. I am so pleased I did thisI thought it was exceptional value for moneyshould you charge more for this tutorial

Faye Boothroyd Feb 2022


Excellent, would highly recommend this introduction to the Cricut joy machine. Really worthwhile and useful.

Paul Baker Jan 2022


Teacher was very pleasant, helpful and knowledgeable. Easy to follow instructions helped with my learning.

Chris Bannister Jan 2022


On the plus side I was the only attendee which gave me more one to one time and discussion with Ben. The down side of this was that There were no discussions or exchange of ideas with a group of people. Had I been informed that I was the only one, I might have deferred to a later date with more people.
Ben was really helpful, provided good environment and useful ideas. I was really pleased with my first attempt at paint pouring and the equipment provided/supplied was excellent. Thanks to Ben.

Enjoyed the Course which was thoroughly worth the money.
Definitely highly recommend. I was lucky as I had a one to one with Emily and we had fun chatting.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course and felt it was excellent value for money. The kit provided was great with plenty of left over clay etc to craft more decorations at home.

Jane Phillips Nov 2021


I was a little disappointed with the brush lettering workshop.
Emily who ran the class was very nice , but was not experienced as she had only done the lettering herself once before.
It was just simply copying letters on a piece of paper , not very interesting and was very hard to make the lettering pens do the thin strokes . I felt they were too soft and would have been better with proper thick/thin calligraphy pens .
To conclude it was poor value for money . And something I could have easily done at home myself.

Having been to a couple of workshops I felt that this one was average. We had some clay, star cutters, 2 stamps and tools but not much else. There were no suggestions for designs and so we ended up searching the internet for inspiration. As we were limited in materials most of us left early to carry on at home using stamps, paints, foliage etc that we had. We needed some creative help and more materials to use at the workshop.

Anita Perkins Nov 2021

3 ClassBento workshops attended • 2 reviews


Teacher was good but perhaps a bit more explanation and guidance from her on what to do or some ideas given would have been more helpful and better. We were all beginners and some did not know what to do. Venue was good and so were materials. Perhaps some red berries to add a bit of colour would have been better in the frosted Christmas wreath, as a bit plain being just green and white. The class was good value for money. I learnt how to make a wreath and would do it again.

Julie Glyde Nov 2021


Good hour wreath making! Great contents to work with, interesting to see how different you can make them with same contents! Little but small table to work around but otherwise would happily do another!

Treachery was friendly, happy, helpful.

Venue was adequate, could have done with being private as our teacher was constantly being interrupted by customers.

Material was adequate for the project

If more time was allocated fir the project and facilities was was one hands were available, it would have been a fair price to pay.

How to pick your hand off from glue… maybe gloves could be provided

Adrienne Willcox Nov 2021


Thank goodness for Tracy! She fixed my skill gap in no time at all and I learned several extra useful tips.

Loved the brush lettering course . Emily was very good at showing the method needed to use the brushes. I was very pleased with the kit that was provided and will be spending a lot of time practicing. Thank you Emily

Rebecca Powell Oct 2021


I went to a sewing machine workshop at Cheltenham Hobbycraft. Tracy was the teacher’s name and she was absolutely fantastic. I’m a complete beginner to sewing, Tracy had to show me everything about how to use the machine and how to set it up. We went through all of the different stitches and I learnt so much. She was so patient, so kind and really just very happy to help me. I couldn’t recommend this class enough!

Annette Cole Aug 2021


My 1 on 1 tuition was great the young lady teaching me was very patient as I’ve never used a cricut machine before it was very daunting to start with and she gave me the confidence to use the cricut machine there was lots of space and so much materials to try out different projects , great value for money ,I will be booking my self in for more tuition with other projects I was so pleased with the whole experience.

Natalie Jones Aug 2021


I thoroughly enjoyed my session today. Tracy was very knowledgeable and patient as I am a complete beginner. Thread and fabric was provided and Tracy made sure that all of the functions of my new sewing machine were explained and explored fully. I feel I have the confidence to explore my sewing machine now at home and feel really inspired to start making beautiful things!

Charlie Horsey Aug 2021


Hobby craft Cheltenham is a large well stocked store. The staff are all very friendly. Some technical IT issues ( I do IT myself) meant that I wasn’t able to complete the 1:1 session but the 3 staff I dealt with did absolutely everything they could possibly do - we managed about 15 mins of the hour session but they have invited me back to re-do the session next week. I will definitely book more sessions the staff were knowledgeable, chatty and I will recommend the sessions to friends who have ‘ cricut’ machines.

Carla Cardozo Aug 2021


My daughter loved it, the teacher was so calm and patiently teach her.
I loved the materials but I could do a tip that will be great to have a apron.
