Has a great class with Sam in June making my first ever cushion cover. It was a lovely small class of 4 students. I used Sam’s sewing machine but she provided material, threads etc. Sam is a great teacher & guided us superbly step by step to make sure we learnt about machines, stitches, cutting/putting material together, zips, types of thread, colours, fabrics etc. I thoroughly enjoyed it, learnt a lot & will be signing up for the pyjama class soon as well as purchasing my own sewing machine. Totally recommend The Stitch Club for beginners & beyond beginners! Thanks Sam :-)

Sam’s a great teacher - very accommodating and knowledgeable. Had a lovely day spent sewing and chatting to the other clients. Very relaxing environment. Would highly recommend!

Thoroughly enjoyed taking part in this workshop. Learnt a lot about the sewing machine, fabrics and threads. Sam is friendly and an excellent demonstrator who encouraged us and made us to take part in the workshop. I am more confident with my sewing machine now and look forward to attending dress making classes with the Pinner stitch club
