Louise Tether Apr 2024


So pleased I signed up to this workshop. I was worried I wouldn't understand what I was supposed to do, but came away with knowing how to do the double and treble stitches confidently. Ended up challenging myself to crochet the beginners' cushion.

The course was very inexpensive and I walked away with my own tote bag/wool and crocket needle! Definitely will consider doing another one. Our teacher was the best. Went at our pace and always happy to help if we got a bit muddled!

Jenny was so kind and helpful to my 10 year old daughter. We booked a 1:1 workshop to try out a machine before we committed to buying it. My daughter is a complete beginner and Jenny helped build her confidence whilst showing her how to set the machine up and get started with the basics. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to find out more about sewing. We will definitely be back for future 1:1 workshops and we bought the machine!

Joanna Isaac Apr 2024


Jo was a great teacher and managed to teach 3 people all working at different paces. I left feeling very happy with what I had accomplished.

Kalpana Karna Apr 2024


Jo, at Hobbycraft Wimbledon, was very helpful. I was able to learn and make a granny square in the lesson.
The instructions that came with the course are very clear and easy to follow.

Florence Apr 2024


My teacher (Jenny) is a great teacher. She teach very well. I have a brilliant class

Linda Elizabeth Hall Lawton Apr 2024


My teacher Jacqui Kelly was/is amazing at teaching, my Brain takes time to process & she was amazing! As she took her time with me, explained over & over again, she drew me diagrams to explain the instructions if I was struggling, she printed off the instructions so they were larger print & spaced apart so I could read & digress it better, VERY encouraging all the time, I also had access to wass app group too, if I get frustrated saying it’s taking ages to understand, she’d say I’d rather you understand slowly, than you rush ahead

Aiyswaryaa Saseekaran Apr 2024


Jacqui was very patient and easy going. The lesson was taught at a great pace and made me feel confident by the end of the session.

Teacher was friendly and helpful. Good materials, great value for money. Loved the metallic beads.

Jenny Blake Apr 2024


I booked this session because I wanted to get back into sewing after a looooong aversion, but was struggling to get back to gips with my machine. Jenny at the Wimbledon branch was so helpful and tailored the class exactly to what I needed, reminding me of the basics and giving me advice on setting up my own machine and ideas for fixing issues I was having. She also pointed my in the right direction for materials I'd need. Happy to say that I was able to go home and complete my first project on my own machine. Super value for money and loved that Jenny was able to offer specific, tailored advice. Thank you!

Faith Pacifico Komarek Apr 2024


Jaqui was fantastic. Approachable, enjoyable with very clear instructions. The venue was good, although a private space might be nice. Our table was setup in the shop. The class was well worth the money and a great way to start my crochet journey.

Julie Parish Apr 2024


I’ve tried teaching myself crochet with no success, but having completed this course I feel more confident.
The class was a nice size(4people) and we all had time with the tutor and all managed to crochet at the end of the session.

Sioned Steventon Apr 2024


Jaqui was an amazing teacher. Very clear with her instructions and great at getting me out of a pickle! I picked it up pretty quickly and fell confident enough to try it by myself now. Would highly recommend!

Linda Clark Apr 2024


I found the class was just right amount 4 people and tutor.
The Tutor was a lovely person very helpful all through the lesson.

The store was not too busy so you can listen and not be distracted with customers around you.
I would say very good value for money and would recommend to other people.

Anonymised ClassBento student Apr 2024


The two ladies running the class (Jackie and Karen, I think) were so lovely and put everyone at ease, encouraging the children throughout and demonstrating how to make the clay figures in a fun yet easy to follow manner. So much fun was had, thank you! We look forward to booking more classes again, hopefully with the same delightful duo! ️

Jacqueline Apr 2024


Jacqui was a great teacher, very kind and patient with us all. I think everyone of us got the hang of the class and went away feeling like we’d learned the beginnings of crochet and would like to learn more. I’d highly recommend taking this class is you’re a beginner.

The teacher Jackie was lovely and interacted with the children beautifully. All materials were provided and she patiently showed how to create the clay animals. Great value for money. Not our first visit and definitely not the last.

Leah Gibbs Apr 2024


It was so good, I really enjoyed going and I have booked to do the granny square one. I have come away knowing how to crochet :)
Thank you so much

Frances Hawkins Apr 2024


Loved it - kids had a great time and the teacher was fab! Would definitely recommend

Daria Kermani Apr 2024


Thanks for running these workshops, but apparently they are very time restricted they wanted our kids to leave after half an hour while they still need to finish their works :(

Aaliyah Apr 2024


Sharon was amazing. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed making canvases. We will definitely be back to do another workshop.

Christine Holdbrook Apr 2024


It was a good workshop, my son enjoyed it but after a while got bored. The lady Karen was nice and quite attentive. However maybe making one for us to see physically will be great and also everyone having a picture of what we are making will be better as there was only one between 5 children. Also the workshop needs to be an hour. Half an hour isn't enough time especially when you have younger ones things take more time. We would book another workshop to see what that's like as I feel for the workshops are good value for money.

Belinda Rios Apr 2024


Great value for money and a lovely choice of image. Useful tips from Sharon - thank you!

Richard Phillips Apr 2024


My 6 year old enjoyed creating the stamps but most of all enjoyed painting them and then stamping the canvas. Group size of 6 was perfect - just enough attention from the teacher.

Louisa Smith Apr 2024

Really enjoyed this class for beginners on brush lettering.
Teacher was very encouraging and made the class fun. Will definitely book another class to try something new!

Ruth Mar 2024


I wanted to relearn how to crochet, and Jacqui who was my teacher was amazing and very patient with me. We class I was in was in a small classroom at the back and it was the perfect room for a small workshop. Within the beginners workshop they provided me with all the materials I needed, so didn't have to worry about bringing anything. I received 2 yarns of wool, guidance notes and a crochet needle.

As it was the beginners class I learned how to hold the crochet, how to start, and three different type of stitches. I would say it was good value for money and I would do it again. I really liked the Intimacy of the classroom.

Courtney Bowman Mar 2024


had such a great class with jacqui let me ask lots of questions and was so helpful when beginning to crochet

Gill Thompson Mar 2024


Brilliant class. I started not knowing what to do and ended up being able to do some of crochet basics. Jacqui is such a patient teacher. I can’t recommend this class enough. Great fun. I’m going to book the how to crochet a granny square class next. Thank you

I will definitely be going back to the store to purchase a sewing machine (19s)

Michael Burlinson Mar 2024


The teacher was very good at explain everything I needed to know. She was very patient and I didn’t feel rushed at any time. I learnt how to set up my machine and how to do basic stitches which was what I want to learn from this class. Very good value and I would recommend it.

Jane Goodison Mar 2024


Jo is lovely, patient and calming
She helped me to read and unscramble, the two patterns that were confusing me, then helped with choosing different yarn for one of my projects.
I’ve come away with more confidence, ready to tackle my crochet

Sjoera Snijder-Sahuleka Mar 2024


Last Saturday, I had my 1-2-1 knitting workshop with Chloe, teaching me the basics of knitting. Chloe is very good at explaining how to get started and was very patient with me, whilst I had to re-cast my needles. I left feeling extremely pleased by what I learned and achieved within just one hour. I can highly recommend Chloe for a knitting workshop Thank you so much Chloe

Anousha Vasanthakumaran Mar 2024


Great teacher. She explained things very well and I was a complete beginner. The value of the class was also great. I brought my friend too. I feel a lot more confident knitting and will book another class to learn more styles of stitches. Thanks Hobbycraft Wimbledon!

Beginners guide to crotchet workshop
Jacqui was soo lovely, friendly, helpful and extremely knowledgeable
I liked the material provided but it would have been even better if we could pick our yarn colours and to use light colour yarn as it is easier to see the stitches.
The class was very good value for money.
I liked the class was small, consisting of only 4 people so Jacqui could divide her time between us and really assist us when we needed help.

Textiles class review by Angela - London

Uma Mar 2024


Jacqui was fabulous! She gave great instructions. Very clear and precise. Jacqui also spent time with each person giving 1 to 1 help.

We really enjoyed our time learning to crochet and most of it was down to Jacqui’s personality and experience as a teacher.

Cinzia Causer Mar 2024


Fantastic session with Annie. Couldn’t have asked for a more informative and friendly person.

I booked my 3 grandchildren onto this course for the end of the half term and they loved it. Even though they are different ages (8, 5 & 3) The simple idea was so engaging that they all couldn’t wait to display their rainbows once they went home.
The woman who ran the class, Karen, was very welcoming and kind.
I would most definitely book another class after the enjoyment they had put of this one.
Good value for money.

Ella Jenkins Feb 2024


Amazing class. Honestly sad for it to end. Jacqui was fab in every way and I’d honestly have paid the money just to have a matter with her once a week

Kanishka Panchal Feb 2024


This class was all I needed. Such a wholesome experience. Jackie was so patient and lovely. Cannot wait to put up my art on wall. The venue was easy to reach. The class was not too large, just the right number of people. Also, the kit to take home is just great.

Megan Caldwell Feb 2024


Class was a great introduction to granny squares, we got all the material provided and got to take wool home to finish off more which was great!
The teacher was very knowledgeable and had a clear passion for crochet, it was great to get an in person demonstration :)

Linda Larkin Feb 2024


Wow. I have always wanted to do this Granny Square course and I wasn’t disappointed. Jacqui, our tutor, was amazing. She was so helpful, patient and encouraging and she made the course fun. She was always so positive and this enabled me to push myself. I have learnt so much about crocheting and yarns and now feel able to create so many things with confidence.

The venue was great, all the staff were friendly and I was made to feel extremely welcome. The materials were fabulous too and most definitely the course was value for money.

I thoroughly enjoyed the last six weeks and would highly recommend it.

I did change the design a bit this time, but again enjoyed my Friday mornings with Jacqui and the other ladies in the group. Jacqui’s is so generous sharing her knowledge and holds the space beautifully. I can highly recommend this course at Hobbycraft Wimbledon with Jacqui!

My first time booking a private class with Artisan Jacqui at Hobbycraft Wimbledon. I had a wonderful time learning how to best crochet the border of my blanket. Jacqui is, besides very knowledgable, just a wonderful person to be around. This definitely wasn’t my last private session with her! Thank you

Anonymised ClassBento student Feb 2024


Lovely small group of 4. I think the teacher would have struggled with more. Wood have been nice to chose own thread and better printed Instructions would be good

Staff are always so lovely in this store, the workshop was so much fun, led by instructors who gave clear instructions which my 7 year old could easily follow.

We have stopped booking classes at Croydon now, due to rude and unkind staff members. Wimbledon is a little more of a drive for us but well worth it to avoid the Croydon store staff!

Absolutely excellent Jacqui was so enthusiastic and brilliant with the children my daughter absolutely loved it

Anonymised ClassBento student Dec 2023


My daughter really enjoyed this class and wants to do another one. I think it would be quite difficult to complete the class within 30 minutes though especially with young children. We were there for nearly an hour. I thought the teacher was lovely and incredibly enthusiastic but I didn't think it was professional of a man (assume manager) to walk past making a comment that the class had overrun.

Jacqui was a great tutor. She calmly took us through the steps, the explanations were clear, we could work at our own pace within the class structure. The group size was perfect for a beginners class too.
We were shown the basics of starting, chain stitch, changing colour, double crochet and finishing/tying off.
1.5 hrs flew by, but we covered it all.
Goody bag with supplies, a project pattern and instructions of what we learnt.
Great fun!
I would highly recommend this workshop.

The teacher was fun and kind. She had prepared samples for us to use to help us get started. The wool we were given to work with was very soft.

I throughly enjoyed the class and Anna was very patient and she explained things clearly.

Yasmin Dec 2023


We had the most friendliest teacher, honestly so lovely, made great conversation with my son and you could tell she genuinely wanted him to enjoy it.
For only £8 I was expecting an in and out job, but was pleasantly surprised and will definitely book more classes.

Lara Dec 2023


My daughters weren't able to attend ad they were ill so the staff made them up a lovely bag with of the instructions to do at home which I thought was so nice

Sylvia Jeffers Dec 2023


Good value for money. Teacher supportive and encouraging. Nice to do in small group and can take away material

Lindsay Murray Dec 2023


The class was small and the teacher Jo was really patient! Wool and a hook were provided.

Another really great clas taught by Jo. There were 4 of us in total of mssively varying age ranges and skills! Venue was comfortable - warm without being too hot and we were comfortably seated around a table at the back of the store.

As usual got a great pack of 2 balls of wool, a crochet hook and printed guide to what we were going to do all in a HobbyCraft tote bag. We learned how to cast on and create the first 4-5 rows of a granny square and how to change wool on each row (or stay with the same colour).

Considering materials provided and what we lreared I thought it was very good value for
money - best thing was Jo's patience in being able to deal with us all being at different stages!

Thinking about signing up for the 6 week granny square course next but I see to have missed the one starting in January!

Jed Willcox Dec 2023


Really helpful, very fun and came away being able to crochet a couple of different stitches which was great. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to get into crocheting l

Jo was really great. Very good teaching techniques and very patient even though I was late

Cathryn Rees Dec 2023


Jacqui was a wonderful teacher, showing me what to do with patience and kindness. The samples she gave us to start with were clearly crafted with love and I felt so confident leaving the class that I continued to crochet on the bus home, which having never crocheted before is a testament to her skill as a teacher.

Lauren Murphy Nov 2023


This course is absolutely excellent. The way the pattern is structured really helps you learn lots of skills in a phased way and the way the lovely Jacqui teaches the course helps you learn much better how to parse crochet patterns, giving you the skills to make much more than just the blanket. This is so much more than just a ‘let’s make a blanket’ course, it is a really great way to turn beginner crocheters into confident crochet addicts!

Gillian Thomas Nov 2023


Teacher was great very helpful and informative, really knew her stuff.
I learned a few very helpful tricks and feel a lot more confident in using my machine.

I've just come back from a wreath making workshop at Wimbledon and I would definitely recommend it.

I came away with a lovely wreath, Thank you, Karen

The venue was ok but it would have been nice to have the option of a glass of water or a cup of tea and available toilets.

The teacher was good, she was patient and went over the same points many times.

We were given plenty of materials to continue our work at home.

Janette Pyke Nov 2023


What a super class! Jo has endless patience and even changed the class to allow us to make the most of our time. We didn’t know how to do a basic crochet stitch but still got onto granny squares thanks so J perseverance. We had a wonderful time and will most definitely be back! Thank you so much Jo!

Margaret Sibley Nov 2023


Sharon was very helpful and happy to help out with any issues. Nice size class (4). Very impressed with the materials given and the finished star wreath.
Would definitely book another class.
Thanks.

Lynda Pawley Nov 2023


Star Wreath. Sharon our teacher was excellent she explained and demonstrated very clearly and was most helpful with ideas. The wreath is very tasteful but could have done with red berries not black and I am not sure about the hessian ribbon. I am replacing it with red! A very enjoyable class and look forward to booking further classes.

I cannot recommend Chloe highly enough. She’s an excellent and highly skilled knitting teacher.
Chloe gave me very clear instructions about knitting the different stitches and how to follow a pattern.
She demonstrated and explained how to cast on and off, how to pick up dropped stitches and how to go back and correct stitches on lower rows.
Chloe’s a very encouraging and re-assuring teacher, I have really enjoyed learning to knit with her and I highly recommend her classes.

Angela Parke Nov 2023


Friendly helpful teacher. Good selection of ink colours. Smaller baubles came out nicely marbled, but pattern on larger baubles was quite faint and only reached bottom third.

Deborah Nov 2023


Jenny was welcoming, encouraging and she delivered a straightforward and excellent class for me. I came to this 1 to 1 a little trepidatous as I was frightened of my rarely used overlocker. I wanted to use it but didn't have the confidence to as it had stopped working, got stuck (my error & inexperience) and I had unthreaded it (wrong). Jenny, sorted that out with me, highlighted the main things to look out for during the session, highlighted those elements in the instruction manual too (with my permission) Really helpful and she was a delight to learn from - she also said take it home and use it and I am going to - my trepidation has diminished. Thank you

Carine Nov 2023


Teacher was Amazing with great tips. Really patient and friendly. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants a gorgeous wreath on their front door!

Jacquetta Nov 2023


I enjoyed this class. Teacher Jackie was warm, friendly and patient. Her approach was designed to build confidence as we progressed. The equipment was presented in a tote bag and it felt like unwrapping a present. I have already signed up for another course

Susan Bianchi Nov 2023


Originally there wasn’t enough resources to complete the wreath, only two glue guns and two pairs of scissors for three people having to share resource meant an hour was not long enough.

Jacqui was really friendly. A very experienced crocheter that went at a pace we could follow with regular moments of checking in and advising on how to improve

I only took the class 3 days ago and have already learned 2 new stitches on my own thanks to the confidence Jacqui gave me on the essentials.

If you’ve been wanting to start crochet but don’t feel you can learn solo, please do consider taking this class! I will definitely be back to learn granny squares

Fiona Anthonypillai Nov 2023


Chloe was there to teach us. She was clear in her instructions, patient, offered us advise and created a very relaxed environment for us. The area was quiet and there was sufficient space to undertake the craft session, although the seats were a little low. All materials were provided and we took home the excess we did not use. It was a fun and enjoyable session with a good friend and we have something that we are proud of now! The session was priced appropriately.

I am thinking of enrolling for another class already :-)

Joy Oct 2023


I loved this course and am sad it is over! Jacqui is an exceptionally gifted, patient, and kind teacher, and the participants in the class were all lovely. I learned a lot and am well on my way to having a complete, totally unique blanket.

The structure of the course was excellent: learning a new square with new stitches, techniques, and elements of pattern reading each week- a very thoughtful progression and way of building and reinforcing new skills.

It was great to be able to choose our own yarn colours, and the inclusion of the materials makes this course great value for money.

I would happily participate in similarly structured and priced courses- perhaps a hexi-cardigan class or something else that involves more complex stitches and pattern reading. I've probably had enough of Granny Squares for the moment, but there is still SO much to learn and a "beginner plus" class would be wonderful.

Lesley Beavitt Oct 2023


Teacher was lovely. Others on the class were good it was a very enjoyable morning and I felt that I had learnt the basics of crochet I hope to do another class soon.

Brilliant Intro to Crochet class taught by Jo at Wimbledon Hobbycraft who managed to teach a fab course despite us all arriving at different times due to traffic issues.

We learned casting on, simple chains, double and treble crochet and half treble. We were provided with a crochet hook, two nicely wrapped balls of wool (I got mustard and grey which are favourite colours) and a cotton bag.

I thought it was great value for money and feel confident enough that I bought more balls of wool the way out so I can try and crochet a small blanket before moving onto the granny squares course!

I have achieved much more than expected and I really enjoyed my self :) thanks Jenny

A one to one class was just what I needed. Having previously attended a one off beginner's class - where I actually learnt to crochet :-) there were a few things I either forgot or never quite grasped. Jackie went through everything with me and answered all my questions. Jackie is an amazing teacher and this a great session if you are struggling as a beginner. However, it would also be good for crocheters of any level.

Jenny's knowledge of dressmaking is excellent, she explains how the sewing machine works, for example how to sew in a straight line and sew around in a circle I could go on, Jenny is a wonderful teacher, and I cannot wait to put what I have learned into practice.

Jan Sep 2023


Enjoyed the course very much. Jacqui was an excellent teacher who made sure everyone was in track and intervening with encouragement, praise and humour. Think 90 mins just about enough and would like a follow up 90 mins course for next steps. Good value for money.

Hannah Coleman Sep 2023

Really great class. Perfect for absolute beginners and people like me who’ve had a go and messed up and then given up!

Jacque was a great teacher, really good rapport with everyone and reassuring when we all messed up at some point. She also had us ‘start from the middle’ so had some swatches ready for us to crochet into and it showed she had clearly given a lot of thought time and effort into setting us up for success.

The materials were lovely too, autumnal and great quality.

Will definitely book for the more advanced ones when I’ve practiced some more

Olivia Evans Sep 2023


My 13 year old daughter and I loved this class with Jacqui! We'd previously tried to learn the very basics via YouTube and, sitting with Jacqui, were able to make sense of it all and see where we were going wrong. Very useful and great fun! We came away having learned to crochet a foundation chain, double stitch, treble stitch and half treble stitch, as well as how to tie off/start when switching yarns. We've both come home and crocheted a full scarf in the couple of days since the class - we're hooked!
Jacqui was very clear to follow, very patient and friendly - we'd both love to do another class with her to learn more crochet techniques. We'll be back!

Maggie Sep 2023


The teacher was amazing and so patient with me. We were chatting throughout the workshop! I went in with no idea on how to make a granny square and had made another one by the end of the day, after my workshop (I'm a visual learner). The kit provided was also lovely. Definitely recommend to those with basic knowledge of crocheting.

A very useful introduction to crochet. There is no substitute for hands-on learning with live, in-person support. Wonderful to leave with the ability and materials to complete a project- or several.

I'd familiarised myself with some basics prior to the class by watching YouTube videos and making a few attempts at home. This was really helpful, but not essential as everything is covered in the class.

I appreciated the opportunity to ask about things I found confusing or difficult. It was a huge help to be able to physically pass my work to the teacher for help in figuring out where things went awry and to get tips for fixing my specific mistakes.

Jacqui was an amazing, helpful and thoughtful teacher. She was incredibly encouraging and made me feel very confident even though it was my first time at crochet. My favourite part was that it was clear a lot of thought had been put into the "how" of teaching, with foundation rows prepared for us to start on and get a rhythm before doing the tougher work of making our own foundation rows. I'm looking forward to trying another crochet course with Jacqui in the future!

thank you so much Jo Tilly loved the class and your a lovely teacher!

Excellent teacher. I was convinced I couldn’t crochet as I’d tried to teach myself and do an online course previously. Jackie was brilliant and very patient and I now think I’ve finally mastered it and got the bug. Would definitely recommend!

Would definitely recommend getting your lesson for the glowforge before purchasing one.

Alice Walker Aug 2023


I loved my class with Jackie! She was so calm, patient - and lots of fun.

We were in a private room, so it was really easy to focus. We got two lovely balls of wool, a crochet needle and instructions to refer to once we get home. Jackie also referred us to good YouTubers to watch after the class and invited us back if we had any issues with our crochet projects.

Thank you!

Karen Kingdom Aug 2023


I really enjoyed this class Jacquie was a great teacher, both the other person on the course and I had accidentally booked a class above our skill level but she adapted it for us and we both walked out knowing how to crochet Jacquie was very helpful and knowledgeable, I’ll definitely be booking more courses

Hi, I would like to appreciate Ms Jo for the patience and motivation she gave me to learn the basics of crochet. She patiently answered all my queries. Only concern was that 90 mins wasn't sufficient and could learn only one type of stitch would like to receive information on further such classes wherein beginners like me are guided in a phased manner cheers, Hema

It was great, the kids enjoyed it, Sharon was very sweet and patient with the kids who were all of very different ages.

Tara Thirukkumaranathan Jul 2023


Simple enough for kids yet effective and worth the money. Great fine motor skills threading beads and nice to be involved in an activity with others rather than attempting it at home. I'd recommend trying out a class.

It wasn't strictly rainbow making as you were able to choose any colours you liked from the selection of beads available. My 6yo enjoyed taking ownership of his colours of beads.

Teacher Sharon gave a good balance of guiding but also letting children take ownership of their own creation.

Georgia Benson Jul 2023


Jaqui was very friendly, engaging and helpful. The group was small and was situated at the back of the shop so felt secluded which was nice. I thoroughly enjoyed the session and would recommend attending a class with Jaqui - she’s a great teacher! One criticism though was that the chairs were very low and meant you had to slouch/lean to reach the table

Joanna Finch Jul 2023


A perfect start to a new hobby. Jacqui was expert and very patient. I will definitely be returning for the next level class. Thank you.

The one to one session allowed for me to ask questions and receive clear answers. Jacki was very good and answered all my questions clearly and ensured that I was happy with the answers Jackie gave me lots of practical help and let me know why I was doing it in the way she’d explained. Although it wasn’t a classroom/separate room the area at the back of the store didn’t feel as if we were in the store. Will definitely be booking another one and recommending to others.

My second lesson at Hobbycraft Wimbledon (I arrived with all the gear and no idea) but once again Jenny helped me get stuck right in, this time learning how to read a pattern.

Thank you for your time and I look forward to seeing you again very soon!

Very knowledgeable, friendly and encouraging workshop teacher. I got to make 2 different colour combination pours using paints and canvases from our kits. As the canvases take 24-36 hours to dry and I arrived by public transport I opted to collect the from store a couple of days later. However if you travelled by car it would be possible to transport them in a shallow box. I was pleasantly surprised that the kit which I was given to keep was worth as much as the cost of the class. The teacher also took us round store to show us where refill items were.

Al Bisnar Jun 2023


I recommend this workshop to anyone who would like to try on using cricut machine before committing on purchasing it. Annie, the workshop tutor, was very patient in showing me how to engrave a plastic sheet. The workshop space was well equipped and all the materials were provided. However, the internet connection was not the fastest and slow in uploading my own images into the cricut program. But overall, I enjoyed the workshop and would consider coming back when I have a different project in mind.

I went home and started practicing on my machine right away.

She gave clear instructions and identified a couple of bad habits I had got into - such as not keeping the needle down when I needed to readjust my fabric. Would highly recommend this for beginners and the self taught. I will definitely be back for another session on following a pattern or putting in zips

Sonia May 2023


Jacqui was so lovely to work with. She really helped me get to grips with how to do crochet. I’m looking forward to continuing to develop and practice the skills I learnt from Jacqui on the course today. I do highly recommend beginners to attend this course if you are looking to learn a new skill. The in-person training/learning is so much better compared to watching online videos/instructions and confusing yourself. I look forward to attending more crochet classes at Hobbycraft as and when they are up and running. Thanks Jacqui! :)

It was an overall good experience. Only learned the chain and double. Had a quick brush on the treble. Thought the workshop could be a bit longer as to accommodate the speed of the learners which were mostly real beginners. We spent nearly 50 minutes only to get people done with a chain of 11 loops. Material provided was nice.

Absolutely lovely teacher who went above and beyond for my girls.
The craft looked difficult (clay bunnies) but even my 5 year old could follow every step. Brilliant.

The teacher was really helpful and inspired my daughter to think of new creative ideas for her creations.

Jennifer Moffett Mar 2023


The teacher, Jacqui, was very hands on with us and so patient. She practically held our hands as we learned the different stitches. It's much easier to learn a skill in person, and Jacqui ensured that we placed our hands exactly the correct way in order to crochet successfully, and become more proficient. Having had little practice with crocheting, and even less confidence, I feel that I am on my way to being able to create beautiful stitchery.

Carene Kealy Mar 2023


This was a beginners crochet lesson, something I had never tried before. It was also my first time in Hobbycraft store.
Our tutor Jacqui was very welcoming and a brilliant teacher, very patient and easy to understand . All the staff in store were very friendly and encouraging . As I had arrived early I had a good look around the store and I was amazed at the quality and quantity of different craft materials.
Jacqui guided us through the initial steps of crochet and helpfully explained when we went wrong.
I now need to practice and I would definitely book again.
I will be recommending to friends and colleagues.

This was a really enjoyable class. I have done a bit of crochet before, but never really got to grips with it. Jacquie is a great teacher, really good fun, very patient and has really helped and inspired me. I bought some wool and now want to see what other classes there are. This is the second class I have done and it is really good fun.
The only negative comment I have to make is about the parking. There is a 2 hour parking limit outside Hobbycraft. By the time you arrive at the class, do the class and get ready to leave, there is virtually no time to look around and buy anything. There were loads of things I wanted - I could have spent loads, but just didn't have the time

Preeya Gandhi Feb 2023


Amazing teacher Jackie, she was very patient with us. So glad with what was included in the box. Only thing is the venue was a bit cold.

Lourdes Fuentes Feb 2023


Jacqui was absolutely amazing going beyond the call of duty! I booked two hours, one to learn how to use the sewing maching and one to do a 'wrap' as my 7 year old daughter was obsessed with making a 'dress' for her birthday, but I wasn't expecting much in one hour To my suprise, Jacqui started by asking my daughter to draw her ideal dress and from that drawing Jacqui used the two hours to help me make the dress whilst showing me how to use the machine. I can't believe we accomplished so much in two hours and best of all, my daughter's smile and happinnes for having the dress she wanted to wear on her birthday was priceless. Thank you Jacqui, for sure we'll be back!

Kendall Hextrum Feb 2023


everything about the course was perfect, the instructor explained everything slowly and was easy to understand. I am definitely interested in future classes.

Catherine McLean Feb 2023


Really great class with Jacqui this morning. She was so reassuring and totally happy for us to ask the same question over and over again! She created a really friendly atmosphere from the moment we arrived and so we all felt relaxed with each other. The venue is nice and warm - important in the winter - and it's useful to have all the equipment there in the shop either for her to show (like different weights of yarn) or for us to buy (although absolutely NO hard sell which is classy).

We learned to make the initial slipknot, crochet our base chain and then do double and triple crochet.

It was excellent value for money and the length was perfect. Any longer and we would have lost focus more than we already did.

It was great to be told what could be available next, which includes the weekly crochet club.

Neil Lawson Feb 2023


I loved this workshop.

I learned a lot, not just crocheret skills but also my own shortcomings (my concentration levels are certainly finite I need plenty of time to let things sink in)

Jacqui was a star! Warm and friendly; bags of enthusiasm and empathy and humour; brilliant when it comes to explaining things. And she was so incredibly patient too, especially with a clot like me!

At the end of the workshop, Jacqui kindly took us round the relevant materials section of the store. She offered plenty of hints and tips when making our choices, which I valued greatly.

Brilliant value for money, the best £20 I've spent in a long time. I felt incredibly enthused, and grateful that Jacqui offered us plenty of pointers for future learning: books, online videos and the like.

I heartily recommend this workshop!

I look forward to seeing what other classes San has to offer - I can definitely recommend this class. It was good fun, I felt I had learned something and what we did was achievable in the time

Thank you for the workshop. I had booked the workshop because the circuit maker was something I was considering for my daughters' Christmas. My children were excited to try out the circuit machine and the enjoyed the machine, but the excitement worn out quickly. They told me that they did not feel the machine was for them. Perhaps a little more guidance and have them do more with the machine and/or the software would have had a different outcome. I know that time is always to be an issue when it comes to workshop and trying out new things, so it's easier to skip that part and do a lot on their behalf. Having said that they were quite please with what they managed to achieve. I am glad I booked the workshop before buying the machine blindly.

The class was brilliant, my Mum and I went for my birthday treat and there was only the two of us so we had a private lesson which was fantastic. Jacqui took time to explain the process and methods and was very skilled and knowledgeable. Her enthusiasm was infectious and it made it a lot of messy fun. It was also great having Cathy there to help. It was so interesting to see how different the results were from using different colours and methods. We both absolutely loved it and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone. Great value for money too.

What a wonderful morning at HobbyCraft Wimbledon with workshop leader Jacqui! We were given a box with our materials and Jacqui guided us along the way, creating these gorgeous Eucalyptus Gold Hoop Christmas Wreaths. Jacqui's was very friendly, creating and holding space for our small group of 5. She is very knowledgable too, she gave us different tips on how to create our wreaths and options on how to enhance them after we finished. Highly recommmend a workshop with Jacqui and HobbyCraft in general. What a treat they are so close to home now.

The change of character half way was great for getting my three year old to pay attention again (as her attention tends to wander around half an hour in)

Kids absolutely loved it - simple to follow instructions, the instructor was on hand to help at all times and they spiders will be briliant for our halloween party. Although some of them look more like seafood that arachnids. ;-)

I really enjoyed this class and was lucky enough to have a 1-1 session which meant I had the opportunity to ask questions where necessary in order to enable me to learn. I learnt some simple techniques that I can apply outside of the class that will give me wonderful landscapes. Really recommend and enjoyed the class!

As always, Sharon was beyond brilliant in the Pipe Cleaner Spiders Workshop. She is kind, friendly and very patient.
This is our third Workshop, and the second time with Sharon, and just like the first time, nothing was too much trouble.
My daughter loves these workshops, and this time we brought her friend, who loved it too

If you are ever in the need of booking a workshop, (sewing, crochet You name it.) then I urge you to do so at Hobbycraft Wimbledon because you will find yourself in the care of the lovely Jacqui. How do I even begin to explain Jacqui? She's everything good in July, a mix of laughter, unhinged talent and all that sparkle.
I've done many workshops with her, she helped me with a costume that was quite complicated considering the fact that I had never touched a sewing machine before. I thought she would turn me away, that she'd say there was no way for me to do this. Yet, she didn't. She believed in me right from the start because she saw how much I cared for that project. She truly is the best teacher you could ever hope to find, she's patient, funny, absolutely wondrous. I do have a hobbycraft near where I live and yet I chose to go to the one in Wimbledon even though it was an hour away from me simply because she was there. Jacqui was the one who helped me get my first sewing machine ever, a while ago, she's been so lovely the first time that I knew that if I ever needed help for anything, I would come back to her. She was so invested in my project, always a phonecall away if something was wrong, I think I had the best introduction to sewing that one can ever hope to get. Thanks to her, I'm way much more confident with my sewing, something I didn't think it possible considering the fact that I barely started a couple of months ago, but here we are. Not only did I have an amazing teacher, I also got a friend and I'll forever be grateful for that.

The teacher was engaged and engaging. The venue was relaxed and so many goodies to contemplate. I learned the basics and a few options to explore. My only slight issue was the yarn as it tended to shred very easily. A lovely way to spend the afternoon and much more helpful than YouTube.

Jo Salter Oct 2022


Thank you Jo, that was the furthest I’ve got with crochet and I’m itching to get home and practise. Jo was gentle and patient and gave each of us time to work with her. Materials were useful and chunky yarn made life easier

We made Halloween spiders- the activity was well prepared and materials were good. We each got to make 3 spiders. Sharon from the Wimbledon branch was so lovely with my 2.5 year old and made us feel very welcome! It was great value for money, my daughter loved it and asked at bedtime if we could go again tomorrow. Thank you!

This was a little too tricky for my 3.5 year old. In future perhaps a couple of simple modifications could be on offer to make it easier / quicker for those of less ability - for example, bigger paint brushes or one or two decorations that might be easier to stick on. But we had a really lovely time! Sharon the teacher was really kind and helpful and supportive and created a lovely atmosphere despite the difference in age of the children attending!

I had a great experience at this class and would recommend it to anyone who is interested in starting crochet. The time flew past and I left feeling confident to practice on my own. I was reassured that I can come into store and ask staff any questions I have in the future. We went though basic and techniques and had the opportunity to look at patterns and learn how to read them. I only have positive feedback, thanks to the team at Hobbycraft Wimbledon!

I really enjoyed this workshop. I hadn't appreciated what brush lettering entailed until taking this class, but it's essentially learning a type of writing using brush pens. :)

Jacqui was a fantastic host - welcoming, experienced & shared loads of great ideas. The Wimbledon store is amazing - one could spend hours there!

The pack received was great with lovely materials included to take home & practise with. The workshop itself is maybe a little short - I'd suggest 90 minutes or 2 hours to fully practise and master the skill of brush lettering.

Fabulous experience! Our space was perfectly set up, craft boxes waiting (with all the materials one could have wanted), kasia was absolutely brilliant, I’ll definitely be back for more.

Just wanted to say your staff at Wimbledon hobby craft are an absolute credit to the company. Jackie is absolutely incredible in her sawing lesson she’s given my daughter.

Catherine was great, made us very welcomed.
I haven’t touched a sewing machine in around 40 years and it was so great to have this refresher. I came home and dug out my old machine and knew straight away what was missing. Found the missing bits and found that my machine works. I thought it was broken beyond repair. Very excited and want to crack on and rekindle my desire to sew
Venue was bright and airy
Thank you Catherine
Would really recommend this session

The workshop was very easy to find in the store the children really enjoyed following the arrows on the floor to find the workshop they couldn’t wait to get involved! We will definitely be coming back for some different workshops!

The teacher was patient calm and happy to see me. The teacher was really happy to help, was patient, enthusiastic and welcoming and willing to help me understand the cricut joy. Materials Supplied were the ones that I liked. I was asked what I liked which is kind and helpful. The experience was definitely value for money. I learnt how to use the pen and put the pen into the machine. I learnt how to use the vinyl. I learnt how to use some of the functions like the weld and the slice.

Highly recommend Annie and Hobbycraft for workshops as well as the peaceful atmosphere and environmental.

Fantastic introductory class. Jacqui is an amazingly motivating, kind and supportive teacher. Suggestions for further learning/support were excellent and I left feeling hopeful that my skills would (eventually) improve to the point of usefulness! The venue was bright, clean and welcoming and I consider the class good value for money. My only suggestion would be for equipment packs to include smaller crochet hooks (or an option to choose sizes) rather than having to purchase separately.

Thank you.

Fun little activity. Teacher was friendly and good with the children (5 in total). Workshop lasted half the stated session time I was expecting, so about 30 mins instead of an hour. Think they could have done more for the £5 fee. They basically did two clay imprints and then made a dinosaur.

Signed up to this after doing the ‘Get to Know Your Sewing Machine’ workshop and I’m so glad I did! I’m a complete sewing beginner and after a quick explanation of my project, the brilliant Jacqui guided me through what I needed to do step by step. We jumped straight into it and by the end of the session, I had a mini version of the first part of my project which absolutely blew me away as I was not expecting to achieve so much in such a short amount of time. Jacqui gave me simple and easy to understand instructions / explanations, guided me through different techniques, showed me the best way to use different tools and gave me plenty of tips and tricks as well. Not only did I learn a lot but it was fun too as Jacqui is absolutely delightful. I now have enough confidence to go away and get started on my project and I will definitely be booking in again as I progress.

This was an absolutely fantastic introduction to my machine. I’m a complete beginner who hadn’t even touched a sewing machine before this workshop and by the end it, I was able to fully set my machine up and was sewing my first stitches. Jacqui was absolutely brilliant, she was extremely informative and patient, answered all my questions in an easy to understand way and made the session a lot of fun too! I will definitely be booking in for the One to One session with her!

Definitely will be booking the wedding session with Karina.

Attended the Macrame Workshop today taught by the lovely Annie. I really enjoyed this class and got the hang of it pretty quickly. I found the instructions and demo very helpful and clear. Annie gave pointers for the class and macrame in general which I found very useful. I am already hooked and look forward to repeating today’s wall hanging with various colours and then on to additional projects. I would 100 percent recommend this class as a macramé taster.

We had a warm welcome. Had a few friends (6-7 year olds) do it together and they were a little excited but the teacher was excellent and talked to them. They all came away really happy with their canvas. It looked even better when dry.

Was a nice first time experience with the kids at Hobby craft.
I didn’t feel too welcomed upon
Arrival, no one asked for my name or anything and just told me to sit down. Had to wait to be handed paints and brushes as others were being seen to for much longer than we were and I had two smaller children than the other two parents.
I understand there is only one person and sometimes we have to wait but I felt as though at the beginning we were just left to ourself to do what we want kind of vibe. It wasn’t as interactive as I was hoping. But was a nice experience for me with my kids.

I was delighted with my sewing class. The instructor was a calm and patient woman and showed, explained and guided me through the different stitches carefully. The material provided was beyond my expectations and I am now equipped and able to continue to practice this new skill at home. 5*

Sharon was amazing! She had great Q1qthoroughly enjoyed the activity. It was great value for money considering the hats alone are £5! Can not wait to do more activities at the Wimbledon store. Hopefully Sharon will be doing them all!

What a lovely workshop I booked this for my 9 year old daughter and she really enjoyed it. The staff were so lovely and helpful and really made us feel welcomed. I was very impressed with the box we received with all the necessary to make our wreath, including a glue gun which made my daughter very happy. We have booked a few other workshops and I'm keen to do a few myself The knitting and crocheting ones, just wish these workshops were available at the weekends. I'm so so happy we have a Hobbycraft in the neighbourhood

Jaqui was super accommodating and informative:) i feel far more confident to begin sewing after my time with her

Theresa Weldring Mar 2022


Teacher was great! Knowledgeable, friendly and gave clear instructions.
Venue was ok.
The box with materials was very good. It had everything we needed and more. Great value for money.
Would be great to have more evening classes and if we could get special parking passes on the day to stay longer. I had no time to browse the shop. Also would love a longer class.

Sharon was friendly and helpful. The classroom was a very decent size. We will be back soon!

The crochet class was amazing! Jacqui is such a fun and easy going teacher but she makes sure you understand the skills you’re learning. Plus all the yarn and the pattern—incredible value for money! I’d definitely do the blanket course after attending this one.

This was a brilliant class and the tutor was outstanding. It was exceptionally good value and I think at long last my crochet book will now make sense. I would highly recommend it.

Liliana Fonseca Mar 2022


The lady that I meet was amazing, helpful and very relaxed. She provided the materials where I could show her what I could do. The lady showed me how to prepare the sewing machine, all the stitches I could use, the tension of the stitches, how to do a button hole and how to finish the stitches. I really recommend, it was fun and relaxing. I definitely will go back. Thank you to the lady that made my hour very pleasant.

Laura Narbett Mar 2022


Lovely, helpful teacher. I learnt lots of new things and have got a great new kit with lots for me to practice my new skills at home!

Siren Takle Mar 2022


I really enjoyed the class and I’m very happy with the new techniques I learned. Chloe was a great teacher and explained the different stitches in a clear and easy way, and was helpful with advice on techniques. The kit which came with the class was also good.

This is a great workshop for both beginners and improvers. New stitches are learned each week within a supportive group. Jacqui is a fantastic teacher who makes lessons fun and instils confidence. The venue away from the shop floor is good and the materials provided are excellent. Can’t recommend highly enough.

The children had a joyful time at pottery painting , they got to chose what one they painted & how they wish to paint it .

I booked my daughter and her friend onto the canvas painting workshop. I was blown away by the value for money. The canvas was supplied and all paints, brushes and palettes. The table was set up lovely and was a clean and clear space for the children to work. The lovely lady offered lots of hints and tips along the way and the staff at the store were welcoming, chatty and friendly. I’m looking forward to booking onto future courses and very pleased to have this store near us.

We loved this class. My boys aged 4 and 7 had a great time. They found the instructor Jacqui really entertaining and engaging. It was great to use the air dry clay as we haven’t used it before. We would love to see more classes.

Absolutely fantastic class. Our leader (Jacqui) was super friendly and easy going, the children felt very comfortable around her and she was really lovely, so nice to have such a friendly face on a Wednesday morning. The class is perfect for all ages (I enjoyed it just as much as the 3&6 year olds). Would love to have the class in term time too, maybe with it varying each week for different activities. Overall, couldn’t recommend the class enough. Such a reasonable price for a wonderful morning. Thanks!

Myself and my son Really enjoyed the pottery painting. I didn't know what to expect as it was only £2 but it was an absolute bargain. The lady Katherine was lovely very chatty with the children talking about their paintings, school, dinosaurs. She was really interactive even though parents were there to help she still offered help and praise for their paintings. Would really recommend.

Annie was adorable super kind super patient a lovely style of teaching and I hope to be in a class with her again soon!

I can’t add a review photograph as mine was terrible I am not made to create macramé LOL

But a hook on the wall to hang the macramé as you make it would be really helpful.

This was a really fun class. Annie was brilliant so patient and encouraging and shared her amazing skill. I felt I could now tackle a project on my own. The kit we were given was very generous and I appreciated the minimal use of plastic. The new store with it's classroom is a wonderful space. I will be back

Sara Alexis Feb 2022


A really enjoyable morning. Thanks to Jacqui for being so patient! A good introduction to crochet, I have definitely got to keep practicing but now at least have some idea of what I should be doing.

Rachel Pydiah Feb 2022

Welcomed with refreshments and a sealed box containing my crochet kit. A well presented room with comfortable seating. The tutor went at a slow pace, returning to each of us (4) regularly. We all did feel that it would have increased our ability if we'd had a little longer, however I believe we were all satisfied. I was happy to come away with a 1 inch starter of a piece of bunting but also with lots of advice. We did suggest that the craft kits could be presented without the packaging to help the environment. Very helpful and approachable staff. All around 5 out of 5 and I will try another course in the future.

Just attended a Beginners Crochet class at the fabulous new Hobbycraft in Tooting. The teacher, Jacqui, was superb: clear, helpful and very patient!
The kit was great too: five different balls of wool, a crochet needle, a darning needle, instruction card/pattern, all in a lovely cotton bag.
Would thoroughly recommend.
