  • 5/5 from Mary-Anne Armstrong, attended Dec 2023: Great workshop with Becky. She was very good humoured, informative and very helpful to all of us. She brought along some nice snacks too! I would highly recommend her workshop and have told all my friends. A really nice day with a lovely group of people. I took home some beautiful indigo dyed table napkins which look professional and I can’t wait to use them
  • 5/5 from Jennelle Dearden, attended Dec 2023: Becky was fabulous. She was well organised and had lots of different fabrics and methods for us to try. The time flew by and I know everyone was very happy with their creations. Lovely morning tea was a bonus.
