Jeanette reviewed: Using a Sewing Machine for Beginners

"Donna is an amazing teacher, so knowledgeable and skillful. The workshop was a perfect introduction to machine sewing. I was a complete novice with zero confidence. Donna was very kind, patient and encouraging. The practice pieces were ideal for a beginner. I left with a much better understanding of the machine and a couple of items that I'm very impressed with. I will be booking again to develop my skills and confidence further. Thank you Donna"

"Thank you sew much jeanette for coming to me for a 1-1 sewing lesson. You are amazing, even though you were a little anxious your lines were straight and for that skill on your first lesson was a very good achievement. You are a lovely lady and I would love you to attend another class or 2 as you are a social butterfly and a bit of a giggle Looking forward to hearing from you Yours Donna Gx"

Would definitely recommend Donna to anybody looking for a new hobby or to gain some skills or improve on existing ones"

"I was very apprehensive as I had not used a sewing machine since my teens and my confidence is non existent re technology. I needn't have worried, Donna was very supportive, understanding and patient with me. A wonderful selection of fabrics were provided along with comfortable surroundings in which to relax and learn. Not only did I succeed in creating some wonderful items I gained the confidence to start a sewing project at home which has lain dormant for some time. thank you Donna."

"Donna is an amazing teacher, she's very patient and willing to show or talk you through any parts that you may have issue with. The course is well worth the time and money and will give you a good understanding of the basics of using a sewing machine and cutting a basic pattern.

"I had never used a machine before attending Donnas' course. Donna was extremely friendly and approachable and she gave very clear instructions on what to do and was extremely patient when dealing with a totally novice who could not even thread a normal needle She made the whole experience informative and fun. I was very proud of my finished item. And I am sure she will have no trouble in expanding her classes and making every single one an enjoyable experience for all who attend."
