    I learned how to sew a dress. After creating 2 muslin samples, I completed the class with a presentable dress that fit well. The group was small enough to allow for very good individualized attention.

    Great class for beginners! I’m confident now to start sewing on my own thanks to this class. Daniel is a very good teacher!

    I really enjoyed this class. Sewing is a relatively new hobby to me, and I thought this class gave me the tools and techniques to understand what would be involved in making a dress, and then hopefully future projects.

    The instructors are friendly and helpful. They take the class at your individual pace and I think you get a lot for your month. There was only four in the class so was easy to get bespoke guidance. Some of us could have had a slightly harder pattern but would have been difficult to do in the time given.

    Amber was fantastic. Great class, even though it might be a bit frustrating for a total beginner. The school should invest in better sewing machines.
