"Really enjoyable course. Knowledgeable and very helpful tutor Looking forward to another similar course "
"Had a great time experimenting with fabric dyeing and layering fabrics for free motion sewing. Holly was very welcoming and knowledgeable, guiding those with less experience. Everything was provided so it was great to turn up and enjoy the day. "
"Excellent day spent learning a new skill. Holly was a fabulous course leader, taking time to make sure that everyone felt comfortable selecting materials and threading up the machines. It was a completely new workshop for me and I would definitely be encouraged to try more."
