Really great session - the team and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Leah was extremely patient with us as we are all beginners, and by the end of the session we had got the hang of it!
A great way to finish the calendar year and unwind - thank you!

It was lovely to attend this online class on the weekend as the teacher was friendly and gave us the useful tips of how to make the earrings steps by steps. I was very happy with the final products.

Leah is incredibly patient. As an absolute beginner, I have no idea what I’m doing. But she inspires you and gives you confidence that you can do this! Very clear, concise, thorough instructions. Very well presented. Ten gold stars!

I had the best time learning cross stitch from Leah She was very clear and answered all my questions! Much recommended for anyone who wants a mindful activity and connection with their creative side Thanks for the opportunity Leah! Your Cross stitch kit was the first step I took into cross stitch and while I’m still learning I can definitely say that cross stitch has enriched my life! Imogen

Loved the class! Our instructor was great at explaining, her pace was just right, and the setup worked and was well prepared. The kit was great too - loved the wren and appreciated the chocolate :).

Excellent. Had a fantastic afternoon learning how to make earrings with Leah. She is a very good teacher. She has got her technical system well set up and made it easy to follow her lesson. Would love to attend more online craft lesson of similar nature.

I loved this class, Leah was a great instructor. I thought 2 hours was a while but it flew by. I knew nothing about cross stitch when i started but 2 hours later I am confident and ready to start my projects. Leah had lots of patience and provided tips and tricks to make it easier. I am happy to recommend this class.

I really enjoyed this class and I would recommend it to everyone who is looking to learn the basics about cross-stitching and have fun while doing it. The cross-stitch kits are all super cute and fun, so it was hard to pick only one. The teacher is very enthusiastic, friendly and she makes sure that you learn during the class. This is an excellent opportunity to learn a new hobby from home.

I’m a complete beginner when it comes to sewing, ie I know nothing! Nothing. BUT I am SO GLAD I did this course, because in 2 hours I went from knowing nothing to actually understanding how to sew a button, mend a seam and sew a hem! Best 2 hours I’ve ever spent! Leah is a gem. She was flexible, patient and clear with her instructions. She was willing to go back over things I didn’t grasp straight away, and with her help I actually did. Honestly never in my life would I have thought I could sew, but thanks to her I reckon I now can. She managed the online instructing well (which, let’s face it, the transition from face to face to digital isn’t always easy), I was able to see clearly what she was doing and follow on.
I highly recommend Leah as a teacher and would highly recommend any class with her.
I can’t wait to continue my sewing escapades and do more courses with her!
Thank you Leah. :)

Really creative and fun workshop, I highly recommend! Would make a great Hens Party or Baby Shower idea too

Bianca Murcutt • Jul 2021

Fantastic morning! Leah gave clear simple instructions, was super encouraging and gave great advice and help when needed. So happy with the earrings I made!

Bridget Aitkenhead • Jun 2021

Really enjoyed this class - a great class to take if you’ve never attempted cross stitch before! Leah did a great job at explaining things, and was very patient. Definitely keen to keep at it now I understand the basics.

Erin Wells • May 2021

The class was great - not just an earring making class but a lesson in experimenting with design. There were so many options, and being able to paint the etchings allowed for each design to be further customised. A very worth while course.

Our teacher was lovely and knowledgeable. Everything was catered for, we had all the equipment we needed. Would definitely recommend.
