Ruth reviewed: Beginner sewing workshop

"I loved this course. Holly was great. Really friendly and incredibly knowledgable. She gave me lots of confidence to start using my sewing machine again. Thanks!"

Jane Bailey reviewed: An introduction to free motion embroidery

"Holly was very friendly and had a wealth of knowledge. Having tried free motion sewing before and not doing very well once at home on my own, it was wonderful to do Holly`s little methods (pumpkin) and gaining confidence. Feel ready now to start projects I have been wanting to sew. Thank you Holly."

steve mullett reviewed: Beginner Sewing Basics - Kit

"Unfortunately the beginners sewing basics kit rates as the worst value for money purchase i can ever recall ! I was shocked to see how little my £40 got me but couldn't find a return method on the craft courses website.I received 5 scraps of material - the largest 12" x 12",the 'booklet' is 2 sheets of A4 printer paper folded in half,there is a 8" x 6" paper template for practise,and a paper 10" x 7" paper 'road' for practise and that's it.Probably £1 - 2 pounds worth of kit and the secret youtube videos - i watched sewing road which was a guide on using the sewing road and it was 2.30 long.I didn't bother with the other 2 videos TBH.Disappointed with this poor value kit and if i can return it ASAP that would be great ! To compare and contrast i also ordered a reversible tote bag kit from a different maker which was £20 and clearly i can see the quality of the material,the instructional booklet etc was a on totally different level of quality and value for money.My advice to potential purchasers of the beginners sewing basics kit - don't waste your money !"

"Hi Steve - very sorry to read that. I will arrange a refund and be in contact with craft courses. Holly"

Sarah reviewed: Children's Summer Dress workshop

"My session with Holly was both instructive and encouraging. Hollys' calm patient approach to teaching me, a beginner, was exceptional especially when I managed to cut out a wrong piece. I managed to produce a lovely dress which has inspired me to continue with my machine. Highly recommend."

Holly Edwards Textiles responded:

"Thankyou so much Sarah ?"

Yesenia tanner reviewed: Beginner sewing workshop

"I had a beginner lesson with holly on her free motion embroidery, it's was brilliant! She went though everything so thoroughly and explained every step making sure I understood ( which in itself deserves a medal). It was the kick start I needed to become confident with a machine again! I will definitely be booking another course with holly once everything re opens again for me and my sister !"

Holly Edwards Textiles responded:

"Thankyou so much! See you soon xx"

Alison Matthews reviewed: Beginner sewing workshop

"What can I say! Holly has the patience of a saint. I arrived at her workshop with my 6 year old sewing machine that I had , frankly, become scared of! Holly calmly took my daughter and i through all the basics and we ended our lesson managing to appliqué. She definitely ignited a love of sewing in me and will always be grateful for that. I’ve gone on to do other classes with Holly and can’t wait to book in for some more."

Holly Edwards Textiles responded:

"Thankyou so much Alison ?"

Stephanie Hyde reviewed: Beginner Sewing Workshop via ZOOM + kit

"Cannot recommend Holly and this course enough. I was a total novice and had never done anything on a machine before. Holly made it seem so easy and explained everything really well. I asked a million questions and nothing was too much trouble, even with interruptions on my part (I was also breastfeeding a 5 month old baby at the time!). Absolutely 100% recommend to anyone and everyone! Her products are amazing too!!"

Holly Edwards Textiles responded:

"Thankyou so much Steph ?"

Sarah Laidler reviewed: An introduction to Free Motion Embroidery via ZOOM + kit

"Holly is such an amazing patient teacher. I learnt so much & was given information to use after the lesson ended. The teaching was done in a relaxed manner & at my own pace. I would recommend Holly to others & look forward in doing more courses with her in the future."

Holly Edwards Textiles responded:

"Thankyou as always Sarah ?"

Marion Robinson reviewed: Beginner Sewing Workshop via ZOOM + kit

"This is an excellent beginners course, Holly is so patient and explains everything really clearly and makes sure you understand. The kit she sends beforehand arrives in plenty of time, the resourses are fab. You learn so much in the 2 hours. I cannot recommend this course highly enough and look forward to doing more courses with Holly."

Holly Edwards Textiles responded:

"Thankyou so much!! ?"

Rachel reviewed: Beginner Sewing Workshop via ZOOM + kit

"Myself and My 12 year old daughter did this course. We both thoroughly enjoyed it and Holly was so lovely and patient with us both."

Holly Edwards Textiles responded:

"Thanks so much Rachel! x"

Deborah reviewed: Beginner Sewing Workshop via ZOOM + kit

"Holly was so patient and explained things every time I asked, my short term memory problems makes learning a real challenge but Holly was wonderful! Anything I needed included wasn’t a problem either. I have had two lessons one face to face before lockdown and one this year over FaceTime. I recommend Holly every time for craft and sewing."

Holly Edwards Textiles responded:

"Thankyou so much - very kind of you to say ?"
