Feedback: “As a complete beginner, I found this six-week sewing course to be a great introduction to sewing. With Sandy’s guidance I created a pair of trousers from start to finish, which I am very happy with. I now feel confident, to do basic garment alterations and repairs, as well as try some more challenging sewing projects. The course covered the essentials and hands-on learning made a big difference. I’d recommend this course to anyone starting out, or a bit out of practice, it’s well worth it and was very enjoyable" M. Cook
