"Had a great day with Judi who helped our small group make a reversible tote bag, a zipped makeup bag and a zipped cosmetic bag. Very good instructions from Judi who was always on hand and patient to help each of us individually. An excellent venue with good sized tables for each person and plenty of tea and coffee and biscuits!! Judi made it all very friendly and informal and nothing was too much trouble for her in helping beginners!"
"I've just done another sewing course with Judi. I really enjoyed making my bags.
A lovely group of ladies. Looking forward to the next one. Highly recommend giving these courses a go. "
"Judi was very patient and helped us all to navigate our machines! We were all complete beginners and I hadn’t even switched on a machine before! By the end of the course I’d managed to make a little bag and a cushion cover! I’m going back next week to learn how to make a bag and put a zip in a bag! I’m definitely going to continue sewing and improving!! Thank you!! "
"I had a great day yesterday at The beginners sewing class.
Judi was brilliant.
Definitely would love to do another class and would highly recommend this class to anyone wanting to give sewing a go. "
"This was such a lovely afternoon and my confidence in using the sewing machine increased enormously! Judi’s quiet, calm manner was so reassuring. She is very knowledgeable and so patient. She also made it fun ! Thanks !"
"Really enjoyed this class . I forgot my material, Judi was so helpful and she supplied me with material . I made some shorts for my daughter, she is going to wear them on her holiday. "
"An excellent workshop with a wearable garment after a few hours! Judy is a very good and patient teacher. Each step was explained and demonstrated both to the group and individually in a way that gave confidence which led to success on the day and inspiration to ‘have a go at home’. Highly recommend."
"Such a lovely day with Judi and Ruth. Gently guided through the process of making a reversible tote bag with super quality material and in a great setting. Judi is patient with such a novice as me. Made a zipped bag and nearly completed a further large zip bag, I can continue at home. Friendly and fun small group, all spaced out. Lunch break with great facilities. Thankyou Judi and Ruth for such a special day, can't wait for the next course!"
"I was slightly nervous because I was such a novice that I had only fetched my sewing machine out of the box 2 days before the course but at least half the people on the course were as inexperienced as me.
The course was well paced and there was plenty of help and individual instruction. I was actually very proud of the bag and cushion cover that I had managed to produce by the end of the day. I'd be the first to admit I have no natural talent and they weren't perfect to anyone who knew what they were doing but they were pretty good for my first attempt. Now it's practice, practice, practice before I go to the second day."
"Super informative course with patient tutor and good facilities. Would recommend this course to anyone wanting to know how to use a sewing machine and have some great items to go home with at end of day. "
"I spent a very enjoyable morning making a cushion that I'm really proud of and is more professional-looking than I ever thought I'd be able to manage!
All thanks to Judi's expert tuition and top tips.
"
"Really enjoyable day, designed for everyone including those who have never used their machine before.
Really pleased with the products. Thanks Judi.

"This was a really enjoyable course to do. Judi is so experienced, knowledgeable and helpful and gave really clear instructions as we made our own sample blinds. I'll definitely be doing another course with Judi and would recommend this course 100%."
"Very well presented course with great instruction sheets to take home.
Judi is lovely and very approachable if you need to ask questions.
Would book another course. Great value as well."
"Judi gives clear precise instructions in a very friendly manner.She has a wealth of knowledge which she is keen to share.I had a fantastic day and learnt how to confidently make a Roman Blind.Thank you Judi."
"Such beautiful printed fabric and superb kit for a beginner to sew. I really enjoyed making this. Easy clear instructions and great finished product."
"Highly recommended! This course runs at your own pace, with a great tutor and you learn not to be so scared of your machine (or at least I did!). Really good value and you learn enough to get you started making simple things."
