Beginners pin cushion workshop

I attended the class with very little knowledge, having been given a sewing machine as an early birthday present. Julia was very welcoming and put me at ease immediately, sewing can be very scary for a beginner! During the lesson we were shown the basic functions of a sewing machine and how to make a… Read more “Beginners pin cushion workshop”

Maxine

Beginners envelope cushion class

I felt totally supported throughout the class and completed my cushion cover within the allotted time. It was fun. I have learnt several new skills and my old skills have been re-awakened! I would recommend anyone to come and try a class with Julia

Diana

Beginners pin cushion class

I had limited knowledge and skills before attending my taster lesson. Julia’s great, she is so passionate about sewing!! The class was small and attentive just what I wanted. She showed us some great ideas and I learned lots of skills and was really pleased with the end result. I would highly recommend Julia’s classes!!… Read more “Beginners pin cushion class”

Mel

Dressmaking class

I was terrified by the look of a pattern but Julia demystified it and helped me read the pattern. I cut my pattern and then my fabric for my first ever dress, by the end of the session my dress was well on its way and I cannot wait to progress with it next time!

Mel

Debbie

Bunting class

From the moment I arrived at Julia’s house she made me feel at ease and welcome within minutes. My course was to create my very own Bunting. Its been rather a long time since I sat at a sewing machine in a lesson environment and the memories of my old school needlework teacher were not… Read more “Bunting class”

Dressmaking class

I really enjoyed the class. Made a lovely skirt for my daughter. Julia was a great tutor and created a friendly and supportive environment.

Sally

Little girls reversible dress class

I really loved attending Julia’s classes. Julia is knowledgeable and patient, even with a beginner like me and a real pleasure to be taught by. I found the class an inspiration and I went away wanting to make the little girls dress all over again! This has given me the buzz to try some new… Read more “Little girls reversible dress class”

Becky

Drawcord bag

I made a drawcord bag (for my son’s PE kit) and thoroughly enjoyed it. Had absolutely no experience at all so Julia took me through the basics of machining, and I had the hang of it in no time. Lots of personal attention (and even homemade biscuits and coffee at the break) and I came… Read more “Drawcord bag”

Cathryn

Such a quick and easy make!

Instructions are really easy to follow and makes such beautiful garments!! Thank you for this pattern! ♥

I ordered this around the holidays so shipping was a little precarious

Julia was communicative and prompt throughout the process, even sending me an email update on New Years Day. The item arrived in wonderful condition and is now a lovely seat cover. Would absolutely order again!

Thank you so much Julia

I appreciate that you were willing to send to the US as well as answering my endless stream of questions. Couldn’t be happier! Thanks again!

Always top quality beautiful fabrics with very smooth customer service

This is one of the very best places to get fabrics online in the UK. Thanks again

Release your handmade. Get in touch.
