• 5/5 from Isabelle Bradley, attended Jan 2026: I had a one-to-one sewing lesson at Hobbycraft and couldn’t be happier with the experience. My tutor was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely helpful from start to finish. She explained everything so clearly, tailored the lesson exactly to what I needed, and made me feel completely at ease asking questions (even the silly ones!). I came away feeling confident, inspired, and excited to keep sewing—something I honestly didn’t expect in just one session. You can really tell she knows her stuff and loves teaching. Such a brilliant experience overall, I’d highly recommend the one-to-one lessons to anyone thinking about it.

• 5/5 from Alison Whitehead-Shah, attended Mar 2025: Fabulous session, was money very well spent. We had recently bought a sewing machine for my daughter but she didn't know her way around it. She surprised me with her confidence during the lesson, she took onboard what she was learning really well and has now started to use her machine with much enthusiasm. Teacher was wonderful, obviously very knowledgeable and very kind and patient. My daughter learnt her way around the machine, how to set it up, sew stitches and did some practising. Venue was great and we were even offered water, which was very kind. We will not hesitate to return for another session with Sioux if my daughter feels she needs it. Super happy that our sewing - with some confidence - is underway!
• 4/5 from Carol, attended Jan 2025: Set myself a project of doing patchwork with a sewing machine instead of by hand. Teacher was very helpful and approachable. The venue was a bit cold and there was a problem with the first machine, but the second one worked well. It had been kept in warmer surroundings! Liked the helpfulness of the teacher the most.
• 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Oct 2024: I have always wanted to learn to sew and needed someone to show me the basics before I take the plunge and buy a sewing machine. Sioux was so lovely and such a good teacher. She taught me how to wind a bobbin, thread the machine, how to use different feet, make a button hole and sew by myself. I can 100% recommend a 1-to-1 session with a Hobbycraft teacher. It was an amazing experience.
• 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Oct 2024: The 1:1 session was very good. My host was very helpful and gave clear explanations.

• 5/5 from Anita Lakes, attended Aug 2024: I had a sewing lesson with Sue. She was friendly and knowledgeable. I feel inspired and confident enough to start using my new sewing machine and its various attachments. The booking system was by far the easiest most customer focused, quickest response I have ever used. Well done Hobbycraft. I will be booking more workshops.
• 5/5 from Kamal Singh, attended Aug 2024: I booked a One to One sewing class at Watford's Hobbycraft store. I wanted to know how to find my way around modern sewing machines as I have using my Mum's Singer machine which is 60 years old. My teacher was a lovely lady called Sioux who explained how to set up the bobbin, thread the needle, what the different stitches are, when to use them and especially how to make buttonholes. After showing me, I was able to have a go myself on a sample piece of material. The lesson was extremely helpful and exactly what I needed. Thank you Hobbycraft.
• 5/5 from Dilrukshi Abeysekara, attended Jul 2024: I would like to say that, I am very happy to be a member of Hobby Craft. Thank you very much "Sue" who conducted the session by demonstrating how to use the Sewing machine properly. I learnt many tips. She was a friendly person and got to know that she has many other craft skills as she shared here knowledge about doll making. She helped me with finding accessories I was searching and provide best services at the pay point.

• 4/5 from Michelle Martin, attended Mar 2024: My teacher was good, patient and gave me opportunities to make my own mistakes. She provided helpful advice regarding my intended first project. I think that the class should be extended for a further half hour; this would then leave sufficient time to practice stitching. Additionally using actual material would be good to exemplify tension.

• 5/5 from Clare Hallett, attended Jan 2024: The teacher Sioux was friendly and made me feel relaxed from the start. She was obviously very knowledgeable and experienced.
