Testimonial 

Firstly and most importantly I wanted to say how brilliant the 2 day beginners sewing course Diane ran last weekend was. Both my friend and I absolutely loved it (so much so that we booked straight onto the next stage course as this one finished) and thought Diane was an incredibly calm, kind, knowledgeable and patient teacher. As someone who has literally never used a sewing machine before it was particularly appreciated and I felt a real sense of pride to end up with three items that look really good. Both of us can't wait for the next course. - Jessica Taylor - June 2024 

The Beginners Sewing Course is brilliant! Very many thanks to Di for her excellent teaching, good humour and seemingly endless patience, and to Lizzy and the team for being on hand to guide with fabric choices and to iron out the myriad queries (pardon the pun!). I’ve finished the course not only newly comfortable with a sewing machine, thrilled to have made items that feel surprisingly well-made (!), but also confident enough to start making at home. Highly recommended for exceptional levels of learning and satisfaction each week!

Testimonials

Thank you so much for my necklace and earrings. My sons were quite bemused that a vendor knew me by name and your personal touch made us all feel good. So much nicer than the faceless Amazon or even the posh mens clothing stores that I frequented (virtually) over Christmas.

I love the necklace and earrings - you were right they do match and I will share your site with friends

Myself and my daughter came in to choose a pattern to get us back into sewing again. Lizzy was so helpful, talking us through all of the patterns she has and what fabrics would suit the pattern and our skill level. We are so exicited to get started and thats thanks to Lizzy's patience and help in the shop. We can't wait to come on one of your workshops.
