Recent reviews of Crochet Basics Class

  • 5/5 from Rosalie Schutz, attended Aug 2026: Melissa is a wonderful teacher! She was so lovely, patient, and kind, especially since I was completely new to crochet. She gave me helpful tips that made a real difference and showed me different ways to hold the crochet hook and yarn so I could find what felt most comfortable. I had such a wonderful time this morning and learned the basics to get started to crochet. I will definitely be booking another class with Melissa and I’ll be bringing a friend along next time! Thank you so much for a fantastic morning Melissa! I’m looking forward to seeing you again soon!

  • 5/5 from Antonia Gapes, attended Mar 2026: I was fortunate that I had Melissa’s one on one. I have no previous experience and can now go and practice chain stitch and getting to 3 rows working on how I hold my hands for the all important tension! Thanks Melissa.
  • 5/5 from Asri Pratitis, attended Jan 2026: The crochet class is so amazing. Melissa, as the instructor, patiently explained and demonstrated how to start crocheting. As a beginner who has never touched/known anything about crochet, I feel comfortable asking questions and practicing after her explanation. The place where the class was held was also good and convenient. Overall, I love the class, and will come back next time for the next level in crocheting.

Welcome to Blu Budgie Designs!
Here, you'll discover more than just a new hobby—you'll find a welcoming space to have fun, unlock your creativity, and learn a timeless skill.
My name is Melissa, and creativity has been woven into the fabric of my life since I was a young girl. For over 20 years, I've been immersed in the world of dressmaking, finding immense joy in creating something beautiful and unique with my own hands. Now, I'm thrilled to share that passion with you.
My journey isn't just one of a lifelong creator; I am also a qualified teacher with years of experience in both primary and high school classrooms. This unique blend of skills means I know how to create lessons that are not only inspiring and fun but are structured to help you succeed, no matter your age or skill level.
I started Blu Budgie Designs because I believe the art of sewing is a precious skill that is fading from our communities. It deserves to be revived and passed on to future generations.
I can't wait to create with you!
