• 5/5 from Ada Szymanska, attended Sep 2026: I just picked up a sewing machine from my mum and gave it a go. I had some some trousers that needed hemming but i didn't know where to start. As its just one thing i wanted to learn i found these private classes and decided to give them a go. Within the hour i got everything i wanted on hot to hem trousers, plus all the wee tips about the machine, needles and threads. Jillian was brilliant, will definitely be coming back
• 5/5 from Linda Murray, attended Sep 2026: Excellent introduction by Aileen as to how to operate my sewing machine. Friendly, loads of helpful hints, compared the shop machine to mine at home so that I know where everything is. Lovely to listen to as well. Thank you
• 5/5 from Michelle Watters, attended Sep 2026: Gillian was amazing, explained all aspects of the machine brilliantly, I am definitely coming away with a new found confidence. Would absolutely recommend this workshop
• 4/5 from Geoffrey, attended Sep 2026: Attended a sewing machine lesson. Main reason was for trouser shortening. I already had a bit of knowledge about use of a sewing machine and brought with me trousers I had shortened. Was given tips to tidy up my work and make the job easier.
• 5/5 from Kayleigh Mills, attended Aug 2026: I had such a good time learning how to use a sewing machine with Gillian. I haven't touched a machine in about 15 years. I've got the notion to take up quilting but don't have a specific project in mind yet, but that was no issue. We learned how to thread a bobbin, the machine, different stitches, how to turn corners. The lesson was hands on so perfect for those who learn by doing. Really could not recommend a class with Gillian enough, she is a credit to Hobbycraft Boucher.
• 5/5 from Trish Foreman, attended Aug 2026: Gillian was absolutely brilliant! Patient, fun and knew how to teach. She encouraged me to practice again and again to get the hang of the basics. Can't wait to try at home!
• 5/5 from Debbie Wallace, attended Apr 2026: I really enjoyed my lesson greatly. My teacher Gillian was extremely knowledgeable with many years of experience in both fashion design and teaching. I got through a lot more in the hour than I expected because she was such a good teacher. Many people can do but not everyone can teach. I will definitely be going for more lessons when I come across something I need more help with. I highly recommend Gillian.

The instructor was friendly and knowledgable and tailored the session to my needs
• 4/5 from Sarah McCormick, attended May 2023: It was very beneficial and I learnt how to thread the sewing machine and bobbin which was my goal for that class. Advice given was useful to me.
