Class was fun and process was simplified by Leisa. Made sure there was enough support to help each of the participants along the way. Would highly recommend.

Tahlia Stoll Mar 2024


Teacher was patient and encouraging, provided tips and tricks and as a self taught crocheter, she gave me easier alternatives. She went above and beyond

Excellent teacher, Leisa explained the steps clearly and with patience :) everything that we needed was supplied and Leisa gave us a little welcome pack to take home, which was unexpected but very kind. Highly recommend if you’re wanting to learn how to crochet

Bev Aitken Sep 2023


Teacher was great,I learnt heaps of good tips and was shown how to do a granny square. I can't wait for the next class. Thankyou.

Selina Nivelle Aug 2023


The teacher was very patient and helpful. I learn how to make a granny square and can now do one myself. The class was well worth doing.

Joelle Roussety Jul 2023


Leisa was great, very knowledgeable about crochet. I liked the way she showed us on the video screen first and then went through the group. The group had different skill sets, some had done some crochet and wanted to learn about granny squares, others were new to crochet but did knitting and others were totally new. Leisa also had an assistant who was amazing at showing easy ways to remember things. Totally enjoyed my experience.

Leisa was a brilliant teacher, so friendly, approachable & patient. Great value for money with supplies provided & of course Leisa’s time & knowledge. The venue was perfect. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to learn crochet in warm & supportive environment. Thank you will be returning

I absolutely loved this class. I’ve come away being able to make Granny Squares and already have 3 new projects on the go as I can’t choose which colour to use 1st.
Leisa was fun, easy to follow and explained everything clearly, correcting mistakes even before I spotted them myself.
I’ve already signed up for Leisa’s next class.

I was fortunate enough to have an accidental private lesson and Leisa was a patient, clear and thorough teacher. The venue was light and bright and a pleasure to learn in, as well as being easy to find. I really enjoyed learning the beginnings of the granny square! Thank you, Leisa.

A very interesting class! This was my first time learning to crochet and the teacher was very patient in helping and encouraging me step by step and she was very well prepared with crochet tools! A very rewarding class!

Deborah Chan Apr 2023


My daughter really enjoyed the class and learnt lots! And I did too! Thank you so much!

Deanna Duggan Mar 2023


I have tried for years to learn crochet from books and youtube tutorials, but I have never been able to follow along properly. Leisa was awesome. She showed me how to make a granny square, how to read a pattern and got me comfortable with multiple different stitches. She helped me with my current project and answered all of my issues I couldn't get my head around which made me see what I was doing wrong and why things weren't turning out the way I thought they should. We also started a third project to develop some other techniques, which I am so happy with so far, and how to make a magic ring. Definitely worth the investment.

Chelsea La'brooy Mar 2023


The class was so lovely! Leisa was friendly and patient, the personalised materials she provided were so cute and practical and it was very exciting to learn something new and also have materials left over to keep practicing!

My class was very educational. Our teacher very patient and taught us all the skills I needed to continue. This was the first time I have crocheted, and are working on my square with a lot of confidence. Look forward to learning cornet to corner when my skills are better. This class I would recommend to anybody who has never crocheted and will be crocheting by the end of the two hours. Deirdre Hoffs

Vangelina Barrow Mar 2023


The teacher was great… patient and knowledgeable. I had fun and I’m already planning my next class!

Leona Hayes Mar 2023


The teacher was a layback and calm person. She was so patient and was willing to show how to do something several times without making you feel inadequate. Her lessons were very informative and helpful. The materials were of very high quality and we got to keep everything we used. The venue could have been better and she is going to change venues. On the whole it was a great experience and I would like to do more advanced classes with her.

Angela Andrich Feb 2023


I really enjoyed this class. It was a small size and the teacher was very friendly and encouraging. Because it is only a two hour class, it is really just a stepping stone to make you feel more confident about following up your interest (or not) in crochet. The goodie bag with your wool, hook etc has been very thoughtfully put together, an nice touch. I would definitely recommend.

Milo Robinson Feb 2023


Great tips to continue learning to crochet. My teacher was informative and friendly and I had a great time.

Jess Watson Nov 2022


Leisa was very patient and actually taught me how to crochet. The class was a good small group which meant she could help each person individually. I never thought I would be able to crochet, now I cannot stop. Thank you so much Leisa!

I really enjoyed this crochet workshop. Naturally we were unable to finish or really start the blanket in the session, but I learned a great trick to tie the magic (slip) knot and a cool method to add a colour.
Materials supplied have been well utilised and I'm sure I will finish my blanket (eventually).
THe teacher was really friendly and knowledgable and very patient with beginning crafters.
The venue was excellent, pretty easy to find, clean, warm and welcoming.

Jolie Li Aug 2022


Leisa is very patient in demonstrating the little details in crochet. This is a such friendly beginner class. This is the place if you are interest in Crochet and not knowing the level of your ability.
The learning process is quite individualised and tailored to all levels!
Highly recommended!

Lynnie Kennedy Jul 2022


I booked a workshop for Leisa to teach my 6 granddaughters ages 8-15 to crochet.
It was fantastic - Leisa was relaxed, patient and fun. All of us left workshop knowing how to crochet a granny square. Leisa’s ability to give each student individual attention while still teaching the class was impressive.
Plus a welcoming bag of goodies with everything we needed for the class (including lollies!) was very generous!
Thanks Leisa - we will be back !

Leisa is a wonderful teacher, so patient and knows her craft well, enthusiastically sharing her skills with the class. Such a great atmosphere, venue is fantastic easily accessible with off street parking. Everything supplied with an assortment of crochet supplies and other goodies in a small show bag. Couldn’t ask for a better class. Love learning from Leisa will come back to do her other classes

Warm, light and comfortable venue.
Allow extra time if you have never been to Berwick before as the traffic is hit and miss.
The class teacher was friendly and helpful with a sense of humour.
Great materials, a lot of thought had gone into what was provided.
Would happily go to another class.

Leisa was amazing. She was very patient with my attempts to crochet. I am uncoordinated and she was able to get me started on the basic stitches. The venue was comfortable and items provided were well worth the price of the class. I enjoyed the in-person experience. Thanks Leisa.
