Great introduction to sewing. Small group size and Karen is a great teacher. Patient, common sense approach and funny 🙂 had a great 3 weeks and am now confident using a machine for basic hems, seams and making a few bags. Would definitely recommend the course as a gift or as a treat for yourself, to learn something new and be creative. Thanks Karen!

Excellent course, starts with naming the parts of a sewing machine and how to thread it followed by practise sewing and then making 3 simple, useful items. Gives you the confidence to use a machine. Would recommend.

I have just completed the beginners sewing course & have loved every minute of it. We were a small group of 4 & it was so nice getting to know each other. Karen was so kind & patient whilst teaching us & the sessions were so calm it was almost meditative. As good as any spa day, I bloody loved it & will be going back.
