"This was a really good course - the tutor was very knowledgeable, well prepped, patient, friendly and had a huge amount of fabrics to choose from. She has a background in art teaching, and it shows.
The lunch provided - freshly cooked warm salads and home-made cake - deserves a special 5* all of its own!
I'd say it's probably best aimed at people who've already got some experience with textiles/sewing machines. With my very limited skill set, I found it quite an ambitious project for 5.5 hours, and didn't come close to finishing in time unfortunately. Others in the group did make some beautiful bags though.

"I took this course last year and it was a very welcome source of inspiration during a lockdown. The written instructions were clear and easy to follow, with good tips for getting over the hurdle of a blank page and filling the sketchbooks. I made several books using the different techniques taught. I was really pleased and enjoyed the course, which was excellent value."
"I did this course last year and thoroughly enjoyed it. While a video is enjoyable I really valued the written and illustrated format because you could refer back to it and go through things again if needed so it was more relaxing than a video where you have to keep up with the demonstrations. I made several of the folded sketchbooks, simple concertinas and more complex ones with ingenious folding. I also did stitched and elasticated ones so got a dozen different books as a result and am still enjoying filling them all up."
"I was very disappointed with this on-line course which I had assumed would be presented in video format and not written instructions as was the case. I would not have purchased the course if that fact had been disclosed from the outset. Not a lot of money tolosebutstill very disappointing."
