  • 5/5 from Jayne Scotland, attended Apr 2022: My daughter and two friends did class and had a fantastic time. Teacher was lovely and all learned to use sewing machine and made fabulous cushion covers (cushions included). Great selection of materials. Finished the class by 2.30 but got to use scraps to make bits and pieces. Great class, perhaps plan 2 makes in future to fill time paid for. All girls would definitely come again.
  • 5/5 from Olive Ashby, attended Apr 2022: My daughter loved this. She went alone and was really delighted. The staff were so friendly.
  • 5/5 from Lesley Watson, attended Apr 2022: My Daughter attended the beginners class and came home with a beautiful cushion. Beth was lovely, so organised and thoughtful (my daughters words) The room was an Aladdins cave of fabric and all manner of interesting things for a budding seamstress. Lovely snacks and drinks provided - would highly recommend.
  • 5/5 from Nathalie Thureau, attended Jul 2021: Both our kids had a great time and are now asking when the next class will be. They both learned how to thread the machine, wind a bobbin, change the stitch and make straight seams. They learned how to pin a pattern, cut and pin the fabric before sewing. They were happy with the choice of fabrics and both found a print they liked. Everything was demonstrated and well explained and help provided when necessary. Both left the class with a completed cushion and eager to practice their new skills at home.
