“Thank you so much for all your support and patience. I’m so glad I came to the classes as I genuinely don’t think I could have learned and loved sewing without your help. I’m pretty sure I would’ve got frustrated with it and just never got anywhere near where I have. I’m definitely going to carry on now that I’ve learned so much, and will just keep building on what I have learnt so far.”

(Karen, Sheffield, 2017, Sewing Machine Skills: Evening Course)
