Real women, real transformations

Elaine's Story

Stepped out in my first homemade dress at the weekend. Not perfect by any stretch but so proud of what I achieved and dying to get moving on something else now. Thanks for all your guidance and inspiration. I definitely would never have had the confidence to give it a go without your two classes.

Marie's Story

I was always afraid of cutting out and never knew which way to lay the material - what needed to be parallel to what and & how to cut out the notches - but Jen made it so easy and gave us lots of tips and tricks to make it less confusing. 

She is a brilliant teacher and gives notes so  you can look back after. Thanks to Jen,  I'm not afraid of cutting out  anymore :)

Jennifer is so patient. She explains everything so clearly and is happy to go over steps as many times as you need. She really meets you where you are at with sewing, which really helps with your confidence. I can now turn on my sewing machine and all that stands in my way is which new project to start first. Jennifer delivers her lessons with patience, she built not only my skills but my confidence, and that’s priceless.

I did the very first class to learn how to use a sewing machine and I was hooked, really really enjoyed the class and even better I can now take up my own hems just from that one lesson. I’m saving a fortune and not turned off buying trousers that are too long. The class was a perfect pace, Jennifer is a fantastic teacher and explain everything so well. The videos are so handy to look back on as well. I would highly recommend and look forward to booked another class soon.

Rachel

After my 1:1 with Jennifer I was able to work with silk on my sewing machine for the first time. Jennifer had empowered me with the skills to understand how to work with different materials, and gave me the encouragement to build on my basic skills to try more complex projects.

Layla

I I Ioved the step-by-step pace of the workshop and the fact we had time to practice what we'd learnt.

Natana

Great teaching, very easy to follow, exactly what I was looking for!

Paula

It's been so helpful and no question felt too silly. Jennifer was great and I really enjoyed feeling that I could actually make the machine work!
