TESTIMONIALS

The best thing I learned today was sewing with stretch fabrics, lace and elastic. Everything was great, excellent tutor, good fun, I will come again.

Jo Kemp - Knickers workshop

Helen provided very clear instructions, no question was silly and I felt at ease with coming back to sewing after a long time. I learned how to sew with elastic and delicate lace on a regular sewing machine. My last sewing lessons were at school, but I felt more comfortable here and learnt what I wanted at my own speed. Very helpful, thankyou!
