• 5/5 from Jill Dillon, attended Jan 2026: Kieran has done two 1-to-1 sewing lessons with my 10-year-old daughter, which were a gift from her grandma after she received a sewing machine from Hobbycraft for Christmas. Kieran was so lovely, patient, and very informative (I even learned a few things myself!). After just one lesson, my daughter was able to set up her machine confidently and made a scrunchie. In the second lesson, he helped her start her own embroidered cushion. I would highly recommend Kieran to anyone looking for sewing help or lessons. Thankyou.

He obviously knows his stuff and I'm sure we'll be coming back to ask more questions!
• 4/5 from Donata Pellizzari, attended Nov 2025: It was for my 9 yo daughter, so 1 hour was enough for her attntion span. She got to ;earn the loading, basic functions andstitches and helped making a pillow case with her fabric so she was quite pleased. I booked her this session becasue she is interested in woring with a sewing machine but we don't have one so it's a good way to "study" the situation and we were given good advice on the machine for beginners.
