Here are some reviews from our past participants:

"Kavita was very knowledgeable and had lots of fabric for us to use as examples."

"Really lovely evening spent learning how to use my sewing machine. I now feel confident to make things! Really reasonable cost as well."

"I absolutely loved my session with Kavitha. She knew her stuff. I learned so much in such a short space of time. The other ladies there were friendly & supportive . I left the session feeling a lot more confident about how to use my machine & with a feeling of wanting to learn more about sewing."
