Testimonials
“I could use my sewing machine at a very basic level but hadn’t ever really learnt how to use it properly. I learnt about cleaning it, how often to change a needle… how it actually works! I feel a lot more confident to take on some more adventurous projects now that I have realised how easy it is to do things like darts and gathering! Although there were people of varying abilities the course tutor was really good at splitting out her time to help each of us – even though we all had completely different sewing machines!” Laura November 2015
