Hannah was so lovely and I came away with confidence that I can mend my clothes and try new techniques. So happy I went! Thank you ️

Hannah was a great teacher, enthusiastic and instructive. She had time for everyone and was happy to explain as much or as little as needed. I really appreciated all the fabrics and threads available for the class to use. The two hours flew by. I found the venue to be too noisy and distracting. I would have enjoyed some peace and calm.

Very friendly and helpful teacher and a great sized class of 8 of us. We covered several types of stitching and lots of fabric etc was available to use. Hannah also brought along a helpful example of some jeans that made the work come to life. After the workshop she sent some great links for extra ideas etc - thank you. Hoping to get her to a venue in around Brixton soon!

Hannah was very welcoming, knowledgeable and prepared. She provided all the materials we needed and showed us some brilliant examples of Sashiko and Boro. She was very good (and patient!) at explaining the stitches we needed. I came with my two boys and we all loved it. I would definitely attend another of her classes. Oh yes, the venue was great too - it was the Taproom, which was very jolly and we got to try their artisan beer afterwards, what's not to like?

The teacher was fantastic, I’ve been fascinated by sashiko and boro for a while but not particularly good at sewing - this class gave me confidence and the knowledge to go forth- wish it could have been an hour longer- but that’s not a complaint, just a wish! Thank you

This was an excellent, well run, organised workshop. Clear explanation of techniques, easy access to resources. Hannah was lovely and generated such positive enthusiasm.
A lovely group of ‘like minded’ people, gathered in a wonderful location.
What a joyful experience! I would definitely do other workshops.

This was a really enjoyable workshop with a great energy. Hannah was a wonderful teacher and by the end of the 2 hours I felt like I have enough skills to continue my project at home.

Had a fantastic time today learning sashiko and boro stitching - can't recommend this class enough! Hannah was very friendly and helpful when it came to explaining all the little details of the techniques. Looking forward to doing more Restoration London courses in the future

Lynne Shamwana • Feb 2022



Great workshop. Hannah provided all the materials and showed us the techniques. Very useful skill and an opportunity for creative mending.

I really enjoyed this class! Our teacher, Hannah was lovely – very friendly and great at guiding us through the process. We learnt both Sashiko and Boro stitching and how these could be applied to individual projects. The venue was cute; quite intimate, but with plenty of space to work, well lit and not far from where I live, which was a bonus!
I brought along a pair of old jeans to repair and was very happy with the progress made during the class. All the materials were well prepared and Hannah gave me some extra bits to take away to complete my project. Would definitely recommend!
