Mollie reviewed: Introduction to your Overlocker

"A very useful morning (plus some of the afternoon!) in Catherine's studio. Catherine is very experienced and knowledgeable about stretch fabric and overlockers, which she shared with the small group. I had never used an overlocker before and am impressed with what it can do, if a little daunted by it all! However, Catherine has given me the confidence to persevere with my machine, which I may not have, had I not attended this workshop. Thank you."

Chris Roberts reviewed: Fab Fitting - Measuring Up

"Clearly explained with good handouts. Taken through all the measurements you need and when to add ease. Help with patterns that you are or want to make. That was an eye opener to see how a lady who is normally a size 14 needed a size 20 in some areas. Can’t wait to measure up my patterns."

Ellen Cottam reviewed: Sewing for the Terrified 2-day Intensive

"I took the plunge after researching beginners sewing classes near me and arrived for my 'sewing for the Terrified'. I was warmly welcomed by Catherine and with her enthusiasm and patience she soon had me sewing without being terrified! I thoroughly enjoyed my day as Catherine's teaching class is very well thought out coupled with handouts and homework o). Catherine has extensive knowledge and she is very generous with it. Due to my fantastic experience I have since booked onto a couple more classes with Catherine. I highly recommend Catherine's classes!"

Sandra Lee reviewed: Sewing for the Terrified 2-day Intensive

"Before I attended Catherine's classes, I had little idea of how to use my sewing machine properly or how to sew even simple items well. Now, when I wear something I made, I actually get the occasional compliment!"
