TESTIMONIALS

"The information is really useful to be able to go back on too, as I start off on my own dressmaking journey."

"Without this course, I wouldn't have felt confident enough to book onto the Fundamentals of Dressmaking - I think I would have been worried about not knowing enough basics to effectively participate in an in person course."

"Its explained simply what everything does and taken away some of the mystery"

'I have had a great week, I have used all of the feet that came with my machine, now feel much more relaxed about buttonholes, made my first corded buttonhole, had a go at a rolled hem (needs practice) , did my first blind hem. As I have more than one sewing machine I have written the letter of the foot and the machine on my hand outs so I can easily identify which is which, I plan in time to do the same with my other machine. I am learning so much and feel really enthusiastic about finding out more!"
