- 5/5 from Emilie Filou, attended Sep 2026: We absolutely loved Carla’s class. She was patient, kind, funny and we left feeling we’d learnt really useful skills. We also made two small projects, which felt really special. I definitely feel confident enough to buy a second hand sewing machine now.
- 5/5 from Catherine Spry, attended Jun 2024: Great workshop. Informative, fun and very relaxed atmosphere. Carla is a patient teacher! Would recommend if you are new to sewing.
- 5/5 from Kathryn, attended Apr 2024: This workshop was a perfect introduction to using a sewing machine and Carla was such a great tutor. 100% recommend.
- 5/5 from Mae Johnson, attended Apr 2024: Really great teacher! Would definitely recommend this workshop for complete beginners and semi confident beginners.
- 5/5 from Louise Bradley, attended Sep 2023: Great space, great teacher, well priced. A lovely way to spend a few hours and learn a new skill
- 5/5 from E Croxson, attended Aug 2023: My teacher Carla was superb, very friendly and supportive. I learnt more in my small group introduction to Sewing with my new advanced machine which I had bought but didn't know how it worked, so delighted now due to only 5 other learners, l now know how to use my new sewing machine. Learnt handy techniques in a relaxed way. 5.
