• 5/5 from Ngoc Deyer, attended May 2026: SOSU was the best venue for this workshop, and Naomi the best teacher. Friendly, patient, and knowledgeable, she looked after us all and I came away excited to keep playing and learning. It was great to bring our own machines, and I appreciated the personalised, hands-on time. Such a fun afternoon, I highly recommend it.
• 5/5 from Tracy Polldore, attended Mar 2026: This is an excellent class for those who are overwhelmed by their overlocker. We were taught how to thread the overlocker and Naomi spent time with each student which was very helpful. We also learnt how to change the width and length of stitches. A great introduction to overlockers.

Zoe was very generous with her time in working with the group and individually when required. Her teaching style is fun and informative. Great tips for when making garments. Came away with samples of my work and a renewed confidence in using my own machine.
