Some recent reviews for our Sewing and Embroidery classes
Fiona Toose • Jun 2021
Sophie is an excellent teacher. I made a cushion cover in the one lesson that looks fabulous. I surprised myself! Under Sophie’s patient guidance I got to know my way around the sewing machine, feel comfortable with the process and enthusiastic to continue my sewing adventure!
Dani Morgan • Jun 2021
Excellent beginner class which was at a good pace for me. I had tried my new sewing machine on my own but I think it would have been more useful to just start here. I’m signing up for another class ASAP to keep my skills up
Kavita Lachmaiya • Jun 2021
Sophie was a wonderful instructor! She was patient and very knowledgeable. I walked out with a new pillow and life skill ☺️ I recommend this to anyone who wants to start sewing but is feeling unconfident and unsure where to start.
Klara Smythe • Apr 2021
Kantha Stitching Class for Beginners
yes, great value for money! On a more serious note, teacher was very helpful, informative & we all loved the finished articles she showed us - great inspo. Good selection of materials & supplies to choose from Haven't been to the Community Centre before so also enjoyed having a walk around

Kantha Stitching Class for Beginners
It was an amazing class, I really really loved it and am enthusiastic to continue with more projects using the kantha sewing technique. The teacher Grace was warm and friendly, a great communicator, very creative and helpful, and the time flew by too fast I could have stayed for hours more!

The teacher Grace was warm and friendly, a great communicator, very creative and helpful, and the time flew by too fast I could have stayed for hours more! There was a generous supply of materials provided to allow us to create interesting designs for ourselves, and to take some extra materials home to finish off our project. Sewing on to a canvas tote bag (provided) was excellent as it means we will have a finished and usable item at the end, rather than a random piece of "sampler". I'd definitely recommend this particular subject and any other technique classes that this teacher might offer in the future. A+ + more

Kantha Stitching Class for Beginners
Had a fantastic morning learning all the tips and tricks to Kantha stitching. Grace was a wonderful teacher with a bagful of the most interesting examples incuding coats, bags and scarves.
Vanessa Hollins • Mar 2021
Sophie was amazing! She was so kind and patient with me (a nervous beginner). I really enjoyed the course and I’m so happy with my cushion cover. Highly recommend.

Hand Embroidery Class for Absolute Beginners
I can’t speak highly enough about Narda and the class that she has designed. Narda is a patient and knowledgeable teacher who has mastered many crafts, which all play a part when she teaches this workshop. As an added bonus, afternoon tea was delicious!
Renee Kiely • Jan 2021
Sophie really took the time to listen to how I learnt, applied her knowledge to the punchneedle piece I'd brought with me and then explained not only the how but the why as well. She was patient, knowledgeable and friendly!
Anne Bradbury • Oct 2020
Hand Embroidery Class for Absolute Beginners
Spent a lovely afternoon with Narda learning the intricacies of embroidery. She embodies creativity. Everything clearly explained with additional notes and information to purchase supplies and books. Narda provided a lovely starter kit which has certainly motivated me to continue the minute I get home.

Narda was amazing! Loved her tutorial and her home! So cozy and beautiful ambience with books and Jazz music playing in the background.

Introduction to Embroidery Workshop
Three hours went by too quickly. I had lots of fun. Tamina knows her stuff and is a great teacher. Didn't have enough time to do my own little embroidery but got to take home stuff so I can do it at home. Highly recommended.

Either way, you’ll feel supported and inspired to keep building your sewing and embroidery skills, long after the class is over.
