• 5/5 from Tiffany, attended Jul 2026: Really enjoyed the class! It was definitely harder than I expected as a first-time sewer (some of the sewing machine steps were a bit confusing lol), but Jeni was so supportive and patient the whole way through. The four hours flew by, and I was satisfied with how my pouch turned out. Highly recommend the class. Hopefully Jeni opens her own studio one day!

• 5/5 from Rhiannon Evans, attended Jun 2026: Jeni is a very engaging teacher, with lots of experience and patience!
• 4/5 from Isabel Goodall, attended Jun 2026: Jenni had a wealth of knowledge to share about all things sewing! This was a great beginner’s class for those just starting out or wanting some pointers to continue to self-teach at home. Unfortunately we were a bit slow to start, which also meant we were slow to finish - the class ended up being 4+ hours instead of 3. Nevertheless, our purses were cute as.
• 5/5 from Caitlyn Smith, attended May 2026: Teacher was great, nice small class and we all ended up with a completed zip pouch! Lots of fun!
• 5/5 from Casey Fairhurst, attended May 2026: What a fun class - Jeni was fantastic. I went into this class not knowing how to even thread a machine and couldn't believe I walked away with something that I made!
• 5/5 from Joelle, attended May 2026: Jenny was amazing, really patient. She is enthusiastic and very talented. I recommend this class for absolute beginners who want to learn how to use a sewing machine.
• 5/5 from Vanessa Cruz de Silva, attended May 2026: Highly recommend! Jeni is a wonderful teacher, as patient & kind as she is experienced. Still can't believe we each made such well-finished, professional-looking projects in just one afternoon having walked into her studio with pretty much zero sewing experience! Not only did Jeni cover the basics, but she also addressed with ease common mishaps which inevitably arise for beginners. In additiona she enthusiastically answered all questions specifically tailored to our individual creative goals. Such an excellent way to spend an afternoon!
• 5/5 from Rob Grundy, attended May 2026: Really excellent and chilled out teacher. Knew her stuff and made it fun. Thanks for a great day.
• 5/5 from Trish Brown, attended May 2026: This sewing class was such a fantastic experience. The instructor Jeni, was patient, knowledgeable, and made every step easy to understand, even for a complete beginner. The class was well organized, with a perfect balance of demonstrations and hands-on practice. By the end of the course, I had completed a project I was genuinely proud of and felt much more confident using a sewing machine. The materials and workspace were great, and the small class size allowed for plenty of individual attention. Whether you’re brand new to sewing or looking to improve your skills, I would highly recommend this class to anyone interested in learning a fun and practical new skill. Thanks Jeni for a great day!
• 5/5 from Magda Grzelka, attended May 2026: As someone who’s never touched a sewing machine, I learnt a lot! Absolutely not confident to take on solo projects but could follow instructions and produced a cute pouch! Great intro to sewing, small class size really helped to get enough attention. We overran by 1hr, bring snacks!
• 5/5 from Cristina Zannoni, attended May 2026: Jenny was fantastic! I'm so proud that I was able to make a little pouch and have learnt so much more about the sewing machine
• 5/5 from Jane, attended Apr 2026: Me including my 7 friends attended a beginner sewing workshop with Jeni and highly recommend it. She’s very patient, explains everything clearly, and makes you feel comfortable even with no experience. I left feeling confident using a sewing machine and really enjoyed the session.
• 5/5 from Ada Ligueran, attended Apr 2026: Jeni is very patient with us, easy to get along and knowledgeable
• 5/5 from Mary McCaffrey, attended Mar 2026: It was a Great Class, Fabulous Tutor and Amazing End Result. I would Highly Recommend.
• 5/5 from Charlie Chapple, attended Mar 2026: Teacher was incredibly knowledgeable and took her time helping each student. Very pleased to walk away from class with new skills and a cute little bag. Very excited to see what classes are upcoming!
• 5/5 from Andie Kardos, attended Mar 2026: Jenny was an excellent teacher and we had a wonderful time. We left with all the skills we had hoped for and a bag that felt almost professional in quality with a zip, hidden seams and lining. The class was also small and intimate so we had plenty of opportunity to ask questions. Strongly recommended and can't wait to take another class!
• 5/5 from Tracy Johnson, attended Feb 2026: I attended this class as I was given a gift card. It was a really good basic beginner class, learning the basics of the machine, going over how to thread the machine and take care of it. We were able to try out different fabrics and stitches. Can't believe we also finished making a pouch with a zipper! Felt like quite an achievement since I have never sewn before. Recommend this class to anyone who would like to jump in and give sewing a go.
• 5/5 from Brenda Hughes, attended Feb 2026: Jenny was a great teacher with lots of help and hands on practice. I really enjoyed the opportunity to practice what was being taught on the spot.
• 5/5 from Rose Ferguson, attended Jan 2026: I thoroughly enjoyed the class with Jenny. I was able to quickly learn some essential skills such as threading the machine, winding the bobbin, and different types of stitches. Jenny was patient and explained/demonstrated things very clearly, and happily answered questions and helped us as we tried to independently practice the skills we were learning. Within the 3 hours we were all able to finish a lined and zippered pouch. It would be great if the space had a little more room for a few more machines, however even with only 4 machines between 7 students the class still flowed well and everyone had a chance to practice and finish their pouch project.
• 5/5 from Carmel Laver, attended Jan 2026: Such a fun creative class, and Jeni was very knowledgeable and patient :) we went over time but there was no rush to leave before finishing our pouch.
