Such a lovely time spent with Martha and my fellow beginners. Lots of new skills learned in a stress-free environment. I was sorry when the 10 weeks came to an end. If you reading this review, wondering whether learning to sew is your thing, I would say just do it, you will surprise yourself.
Great course, lots of 1:1 time, lovely sociable atmosphere - highlight to my week! Martha is brilliant at what she does, is patient and encouraging and supports a relaxed but productive atmosphere. Mimi
