WHAT PEOPLE SAY
SARAH
My husband and I booked a lesson with Carla to make one of her awesome book/tote bags. Having recently acquired a sewing machine we both wanted to get better at using it to fix clothes, hem curtains etc, and so this class seemed like a great way to learn the basics on a sewing machine. Carla was so welcoming and lovely, and a very good teacher. It was a really fun couple of hours and very good value. We would highly recommend!
RAND
I really enjoyed the Introduction to Sewing class. Carla was so helpful and friendly. As soon as the class was over, I booked the 4 week dress making course! I highly recommend.
HANNAH
Carla provides a very welcoming and relaxed environment to learn a new skill. She is so patient and passionate I have now attended two classes (intro to sewing and linen Lola dress) both have been fabulous and I’m definitely heading back for more. Thanks
