  • How to find your way around a sewing machine

  • 5/5 from Lou Sison, attended Sep 2022: I had an amazing time in the class with Sandra as my teacher, as she was thorough and moved along a great pace, especially for myself who doesn’t have any sort of sewing experience. The venue was clean, brightly lit and an overall inviting space, which was the perfect environment for the class. Everything was supplied for us, with Sandra even bringing her own machines which was great because I wouldn’t even know where to start! My wife and I had so much fun and we were able to make a tote bag with great success. I honestly hope there will be another class because I will happily sign up for another one!
  • 5/5 from Karen Cokely, attended Sep 2022: To be able to sew is such a useful and satisfying skill to learn. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience of the small group dynamic, to the joy of creating my own unique Tote Bag to take home and use! Sandra is genuinely passionate about sewing. She taught and encouraged us to do each step ourselves with absolute confidence in our to ability to succeed. Definitely worth every minute and great value for money.
