Recent reviews of Sewing Workshop - Tote Bag

  • 5/5 from Katy Rogers, attended Nov 2025: Fantastic workshop, walked in never using more than a needle and thread in my life and by the end had used a sowing machine to make a totebag! Great for beginners and Precous is very good at explaining everything and very patient with the group, a great teacher and really warm and friendly. 10/10 had a great afternoon and met some lovely people.
  • 4/5 from Darina Hudson, attended Oct 2025: Really enjoyed the class. However, I thought I was booking onto a"how to use your machine" class. My fault, should have read the small print. Having said that Precious, the teacher, was patient and knowledgeable. She was helpful at every stage and allowed plenty of time to complete the Tote Bag. I was delighted with the results and honestly did learn a lot in the allotted time. Whilst refreshments were provided there was no coffee - smallproblemi k ow, but I don't drink tea and would have loved a coffee.
