Recent reviews of Sewing Course: Make Your Own Tote Bag

  • 4/5 from Sue Gold, attended Sep 2026: Excellent class. We made our own Tote bag from scratch using a sewing machine. Great tutor who showed us how to use a sewing machine, different stitches to use, and gave us tips on how to get great results. First time I had used a machine and tutor gave clear instructions. Ideal for beginners and those returning to use a machine. Great fun.

Handmade Fever started off with me being interested in making traditional soap! After learning to make natural handmade soap and trying it on myself and my children, I was amazed by the results! In particular, when I used the soap on my 3-year-old little boy who suffered from eczema, I noticed that the eczema disappeared! I had used all the prescribed creams and bath liquids from my GP and my local pharmacy, but they only worked for a bit, and as soon as I stopped using those products, the eczema seemed to come back with a vengeance! This is when I realized that the issue was the products that used chemicals, whether prescribed or not, and for my son who had sensitive skin, it was causing eczema. From then on, over the years, I started working on all products that I and my family could use that were all natural… from handmade perfume, deodorant, shampoo bars, and even hair conditioners and was amazed at the results. I then started making everything as I grew to love craft again! Being a teacher for 22 years, I had stopped working on my craft skills, but it came back after making soaps. And now I make everything from natural skincare, silver jewelry, knitted bags, embroidery, beaded jewelry, candles, designing t-shirts with rhinestones and even own my own Natural Skincare brand! I have a cafe and shop combined that sells everything in crafts and Handmade items and hence the name Handmade Fever and a workshop at the rear crafting all day! We are a 10 min walk away from Oakleigh Park Station (served by Great Northern trains directly into London King's Cross and Moorgate) and 15 minute walk from New Barnet Train Station. There is a Car Park at the back of the shop and parking there is FREE! :) Hope you can come to one of my workshops!
