An overall fantastic experience all round! This is a great environment to learn a new skill and have fun doing it.
I attended the beginner sewing course and am stoked with the professionalism, quality and value I received. I was supplied a machine and all the things I needed to make the project. The tutoring was very in depth and I look forward to further lessons! 10/10 would recommend!

Completed the beginner techniques course on Tuesday evenings. Absolutely loved it. So much useful information. I felt more confident and comfortable trying new techniques. Really appreciated the opportunity to practice and to borrow a machine. Great teaching technique, and detailed notes. Loved it and am coming back for more. Thanks so much. Regards, Fiona

I recently attended Maria's skirt block class, and I can’t recommend it highly enough! It’s perfect for anyone wanting to truly understand how patterns come together and learn how to adapt them to their own body and measurements.
I had put off taking this class for a while because my measurements were fluctuating, and I didn’t want to end up with a block that wouldn’t fit me in the future. But I’m so glad I finally did it. I walked away with the confidence and skills to adjust my block as my body changes over time.
I’ve never been the most precise sewist, but Maria showed me just how much difference even 1 cm in length or dart placement can make. Everything I’ve made since has felt better fitted and so much more premium.
I also send to Maria anyone that asks me about where to get sewing jobs done. Everyone has been over the moon about the garments she has made for them. Including recreating a pattern from some existing and quite complicated garments.
