• 5/5 from Lynne Davies, attended Sep 2026: Julie is an excellent teacher; patient, precise with her instructions and has expert knowledge. Julie was able to demonstrate techniques which gave me confidence and as a beginner, placed me at ease from the start; her teaching style is ‘spot on’.
• 5/5 from Grace Davies, attended Sep 2026: My teacher helped me through the session with an air of patience that calmed my anxiety. I was encouraged to keep trying and raise my confidence with working the machine.
• 5/5 from Michelle Pritchard, attended Aug 2026: I booked the one to one sewing workshop for my 14 year old daughter who desperately wants to use her sewing machine but was getting very frustrated as it was more luck than judgement if she would manage to set up the sewing machine properly and have a go at making something. My daughter was very nervous going for the session as she is very shy in unknown situations. Julie picked up on this and was lovely with her. She asked her what she wanted from the session and took her time explaining and showing what my daughter needed to learn. Julie gave her lots of tips and plenty of positive encouragement to build her confidence. My daughter came away from the session feeling like she now knows her way around a sewing machine and has the confidence to start making things. Thank you Julie!
