A zip cushion made in three hours from scratch. Amazing experience! You choose the required materials ,design and sewing machine to make it .
Steph - 25 October 2020
I had a one to one class with Rachel on making a zipped cushion.......one word FABULOUS! I hadn’t used a sewing machine since leaving school and was a little nervous but Rachel was brilliant at explaining things and she was very patient. I spent the best 3 hours doing something for myself that I throughly enjoyed, haven’t done that for a long time. Thank you Rachel I will be back soon, Steph x

This was a brilliant class. Rachel is an excellent teacher and very good at building confidence. We all succeeded in making beautiful piped cusions with well fitted zips and left feeling very happy

Lovely, friendly and patient teacher and nice small group. It might have helped if I had remembered my glasses (!) but I was delighted with my finished cushion nonetheless. I am looking forward to using my new skills and would also love to do another class.
Deon - 11 May 2018
I absolutely loved this class. The instructor was so informative and patient. I also learned some great tips on how to use my personal sewing machine better which was an extra bonus. My husband was incredibly proud of my final product! I will certainly book more classes.
