- 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Mar 2025: The class was for upcycling jeans into a tote bag, it was a lot of fun! The teachers were very friendly, helpful and enthusiastic. I really enjoyed getting creative with my bag.
- 5/5 from Amanda J Smith, attended Mar 2025: Great fun! Sasha and Kieran were both informative and fun to be around. The group all interacted well, making for a great day making ourselves totes. Everyone’s tote bags were different, showing great personalities! Thanks for a great day!
- 5/5 from Krystal Dowling, attended Feb 2025: Class was great! We ended up with a lovely bag and Saskia was so lovely - she was very patient and kind and made everything easy and enjoyable. I learnt a lot about using The sewing machine and ended up very happy with the final product - she was also great at adjusting the class for various knowledge levels and did everything to support us making the bag we want and personalise it. I'd recommend everyone to go and it's great value - free coffee, all materials provided, and we spent 4 hours there getting everything perfect. I would recommend it for anyone wanting to learn a bit more about sewing, making an upcycled bag, or have a great weekend activity.
- 5/5 from Ingrid Tam, attended Jan 2025: It was easy to follow the instructions and the teachers were very helpful
