• 5/5 from Oi-Lam Chan, attended Nov 2025: I definately enjoyed the class the second time around. I came with my friends to the class. It was a small and intimate class which made the interacting with everyone easier and just a feeling of closeness. Patricia was amazing as usual and was patent in guiding you if you neede the extra help on your design. I would definately recommend this class to anyone. You wont regret it!
• 5/5 from Ivy Mach, attended Apr 2025: Paty and her family were absolutely lovely and welcoming. I’m a complete beginner so I was really slow and didn’t end up finishing mine, but Paty kindly allowed us to stay back an extra hour to work on it. She made us try a few different techniques and came around to each person to give tips and advice. I can honestly say I’m more confident in the basics now and am looking forward to attempt some embroidery in my own time. Thanks, Paty and family!

• 5/5 from Svetlana Volochina, attended Jan 2023: The teacher was a lovely young lady and very friendly. She has great experience and a lovely choice of different yarns to choose from. Also, she offered some nice coffee and other refreshments. It was a new experience for me and I work rather slowly, so could not complete my project in the allocated time. Overall I enjoyed my time at her friendly place.
• 4/5 from Olivia Cochrane, attended Jan 2023: This was a wonderful introduction to punch needle embroidery. I went in as a total beginner and left with a completed project, feeling incredibly confident and inspired to go forward and tackle punch needle embroidery! I was lucky to be in a small class with two other participants, which meant that Patricia (Paty) was able to spend time with each of us and provide one-on-one assistance. Paty is a lovely instructor - she's funny, kind and has tonnes of experience and insight. It was inspiring to see all her projects on the wall and hear her tips and tricks. My only critique is that I would have liked to have been provided more information on where to source the equipment and materials, as well as further stitching techniques. All in all, it was such a unique and intimate experience - nothing like your typical workshop!

• 5/5 from Kaye Wong, attended Dec 2021: Great workshop, enthusiastic and knowledgable, friendly instructor. Great variety of materials, enjoyable, relaxing workshop k
• 5/5 from Alexia Frank, attended Dec 2021: Teacher was lovely and passionate which really shone through. The venue was very cute, although was very hot on the day we were there, but deffo could have been worse. Was a nice breeze from the window. Was great interacting with others in the class. We came about 10 mins late so I’m not sure whether we missed a bit of Info, But would have liked some clarification on how to finish the loop for framing. Is it supposed to stay in the loop? How do you finish at the back? Is it supposed to be reframed? Being a complete novice to punch needling I was missing a bit of info and the questions arise in my mind after the class is over
• 5/5 from Fabio Hanashiro, attended Nov 2021: The class was amazing and relaxing. Paty is such a creative person and so talented. For sure, I will join more classes in the future. Its so good the feeling to bring our craft we created in class to home. Thanks Paty, you were amazing.
• 5/5 from James Fennell, attended Nov 2021: Amazing punch needle class in a perfect venue, great value for money and so much fun! Paty was really clear in her instructions and kept the class informative but with a really welcoming, relaxed vibe. The materials provided were really great quality and there was such a huge variety of yarns to choose from. We were given a great introduction and brief back story of the process, and plenty of materials to use both as templates and inspiration (including samples of the teachers beautiful work)! The venue staff were really welcoming and helpful. The coffee and food from the cafe were delicious and all vegan/ gluten free (highly recommend the savoury tart). The location is great too, barely a 5 minute walk from Brunswick station.
• 5/5 from Aline Riche, attended Nov 2021: This class was really great and I highly recommend it. Paty is a great teacher and made the atmosphere very warm and friendly.

• 5/5 from Andreia Tsujii, attended Nov 2021: Paty was very attentive and guided each one of us with care. I enjoyed every bit of the class, from the explanation, to choosing the design and the practical part we had SO MANY colours to choose, and she also provided some design ideas. The space was nice and bright, the owners of Gloria cafe are lovely humans beings and will definitely be coming back for their carrot cake next time. Can’t wait to come back and learn other techniques!
