I had a fantastic day at Stitches and Cream today, I actually made a tunic top with the help of Helen, who is an excellent teacher, very patient with a warm and friendly approach, amazing knowledge and pattern cutting experience, having previously worked in a fashion house in London with a top designer. Also Jane and Sandra, very welcoming and friendly ensuring all their customers are well hydrated and comfortable throughout the workshop. Great that you can use their sewing machine, they also provide everything you need like scissors, pins, chalk, cutting mats etc, so no need to take anything other than your fabric. Thank you all very much.

I attended Helen's course in London to copy a top and came away with a pattern that I know I will make again and again. Helen is a relaxed and patient teacher and the small numbers attending the class mean she has the time to spend with each of the students. With a variety of garments chosen to copy, we also got to learn different techniques from each of the projects. The booklet Helen provides with the class is extremely useful and I've since applied the techniques learnt to more complex projects. I very much enjoyed the day and had the classes not moved to Cornwall I'd be enrolling for more in a heart beat!
