Such a great class - the place is lovely and spacious, the teacher is knowledgeable and helpful, the content and organisation of the class fitted my needs perfectly, all for a reasonable price. In the morning, we got acquainted with alterations techniques and in the afternoon we all got to work on our own clothes, with a lot of help and guidance from Barley. Highly recommended!

Really great course with Barley - this has improved my confidence massively and I feel I have learnt lots of professional tips for altering my own clothes. The best part is that I can now wear two pairs of trousers that have been gathering dust in my wardrobe for years! Thank you Barley!
