“I absolutely loved Charlotte’s sewing class! I hadn’t sewn since I was in intermediate, so I was a complete beginner. Charlotte was so helpful and patient and made the whole process really easy and enjoyable. I found it really helpful having consecutive lessons because each week I was able to build more skills.
I enjoyed it so much that I’ve now bought my own sewing machine and feel confident enough to give things a go at home.
I loved that the classes were relaxed and social! I’d definitely recommend Charlotte’s class to anyone wanting to give sewing a go”. - Hannah
Testimonials:
“It was great to get back into sewing, have something to take home, and give my brain a bit of a workout! I loved working alongside others, and the bubbles and treats were such a nice touch - a really fun way to spend an evening!” - Beki
