“I HAD A ONE TO ONE CLASS WITH RACHEL ON MAKING A ZIPPED CUSHION.......ONE WORD FABULOUS! I HADN’T USED A SEWING MACHINE SINCE LEAVING SCHOOL AND WAS A LITTLE NERVOUS BUT RACHEL WAS BRILLIANT AT EXPLAINING THINGS AND SHE WAS VERY PATIENT. I SPENT THE BEST 3 HOURS DOING SOMETHING FOR MYSELF THAT I THROUGHLY ENJOYED, HAVEN’T DONE THAT FOR A LONG TIME. THANK YOU RACHEL I WILL BE BACK SOON, STEPH X ”

“I’VE JUST FINISHED THIS COURSE AND AM NOW REALLY INSPIRED AND MOTIVATED!! RACHEL IS PATIENT, UNDERSTANDING OF ALL OF YOUR FEARS AND CONCERNS AND EXPLAINS THINGS IN SUCH A SIMPLE WAY THAT IT AUTOMATICALLY INSTILS CONFIDENCE. IT'S BEEN GREAT TO SPEND TIME WITH LIKE-MINDED PEOPLE WHO ALL WANT TO IGNITE THEIR PASSION FOR SEWING. THIS IS THE BEST THING I'VE DONE FOR MYSELF IN YEARS AND THERE'S NO OTHER PLACE I WOULD HAVE DONE IT - CRAFT MY DAY IS A REAL SAFE SPACE AND I'D RECOMMEND IT TO EVERYBODY.”

“I REALLY ENJOYED THESE CLASSES AND DEFINITELY LEARNT A LOT FROM THEM. WHAT I LIKED THE MOST IS THAT YOU HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO FINISH YOUR SKIRT WHICH MAKES THE PROCESS LESS STRESSFUL AND MORE FUN TO DO AND ALLOWS TIME TO CORRECT AND LEARN FROM THE MISTAKES THAT YOU WILL MAKE AS A BEGINNER. I WOULD DEFINITELY DO MORE CLASSES HERE. ”

“I REALLY ENJOYED MY SEWING CLASS RACHEL IS GREAT AT EXPLAINING EVERYTHING AND WILL HAPPILY RE EXPLAIN OR DEMONSTRATE WHEN YOU ARE NOT SURE. IT WAS ALSO GREAT BEING PART OF A SMALL GROUP AND SO YOU CAN LEARN FROM EACH OTHERS CHOICE OF DESIGN SUCH AS WANTING THE SKIRT A DIFFERENT LENGTH AND HOW TO ADAPT THE PATTERN. I FELT A GREAT SENSE OF ACHIEVEMENT TO MAKE SOMETHING THAT I CAN WEAR AND FITS ME PERFECTLY. LOOKING FORWARD TO ATTENDING ANOTHER CLASS IN THE FUTURE.”

“I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED THE COURSE AND CAN'T WAIT FOR THE WEATHER SO I CAN SHOW OFF MY SKIRT. RACHEL'S ENTHUSIASM IS CONTAGIOUS AND SHE HAS A LOVELY WAY OF ENCOURAGING YOU TO HAVE A GO, ENJOY AND NOT WORRY TOO MUCH. RACHEL SPENDS LOTS OF TIME WITH EACH PERSON SO THE PACE, ADVICE AND TIPS ARE TAILORED TO EACH PERSON. I WOULD REALLY RECOMMEND THIS COURSE TO ANYONE WHETHER YOU ARE A SEWING ZERO OR JUST LOOKING TO PICK UP SOME CONFIDENCE. I CAN'T WAIT TO NOW MOVE ON TO DRESSES!!”
