• 5/5 from Vanessa Shinya, attended Sep 2026: Great session with Marsha. We learned the basics of setting up & using the sewing machine. A great teacher & amazing company overall. Such a pleasure to meet you Marsha. Thank you so much for the session.

• 5/5 from Tina Chan, attended Jun 2026: I really enjoyed my sewing workshop with Marianne! She is so lovely, patient and thorough. She was a great teacher. I had never used a sewing machine before but she gave me the full basic run through and when I got home I was confident enough to do alterations on some cotton PJs (just making shorter). I would definitely recommend coming in with specific questions and things you want to find out in mind as the session is quite short. Marianne is super knowledgeable and experienced and I really felt as though she could answer any question I might have! - would highly recommend.

I felt more confident about using my sewing machine after the workshop.

• 5/5 from Leanne Gorham, attended Aug 2024: We had booked for a sewing workshop as my daughter has discovered a love for it. We focused on learning how to set up, and use a sewing machine (as we only had a child’s one at home) as well as practice stitching patterns to link all skills learnt together. Marsha was amazing and patient with my daughter, even helped to build her confidence by the end of the session, so much that when we got home she couldn’t wait to show the family what she had learnt with Marsha. The class was definitely worth the money spent, and we will be booking another one to cover more skills as time goes on. I highly recommend this workshop.

She also explained us the following steps to take for my daughter to be able to sew her own clothes. It was a very nice and useful experience. My daughter loved it. Thank you very much Marsha!

• 5/5 from Sirma Maxwell, attended May 2024: I was welcomed by staff and showed where I would have the workshop. It’s was an amazing workshop I learnt so much due to how informative marsha was. Marsha was so patient with me, we laugh too which is something I love when learning. She showed me all the great things I had no idea about which I could do with my new sawing machine. So I would highly recommend people take the workshop. I can’t wait to try out my new found knowledge and try them all out. Thank you hobbycraft Greenwich

• 5/5 from Rodney West, attended Apr 2024: Marsha is extremely knowledgeable, even though she said it was the 1st time using my type of sawing machine (Uten).

• 4/5 from Aisling Maguire, attended Mar 2023: Sylvy provided a good overview of Hobbycrafts machines. Lost one star as wouldve been good to have the prefered machine, Singer, however Sylvy explained the similarities and differences in the machine I used well. Thanks Sylvy.
• 5/5 from Amal McHrafi, attended Feb 2023: Marsha is a very good instructor and a lovely positive person. Just wished I could have stayed more and learn more with her. She made the course very simple and enjoyable. Thank you Amal
• 5/5 from Steven Liu, attended Jan 2023: Marsha was a terrific teacher. I needed to get a handle on how to use a machine I picked up, have never sewed a stitch in my life. Marsha went through it all thoroughly and then had me have a go too. There are vids of how to get it set up, but it doesn't go over every nuance, I'm sure I would have missed some things if I'd only relied on that. Bottom line, if you have zero experience this is a great way to get started.
• 5/5 from Amalia Macanlalay, attended Jun 2022: Really nice and helpful! I learnt a lot of things and Marsha was lovely. I will definitely come back!
