Sewing machine masterclass

Lea was brilliant! I was a little nervous having not used my machine for over 15 years! She was extremely patient but also encouraged me to attempt the more advanced tote bag (matching straps) . She helped me to understand the machine better - so I can hopefully correct when things go wrong! Thanks so much x

Yeah was a fantastic teacher. Having not used a machine for over 20 years she has given me the confidence to start using my machine again. Lots of really helpful advice, I would definitely recommend this class and will be booking another soon.

I really enjoyed this fun, relaxed class and picked up so many helpful tips. Although I had used a sewing machine before it was so helpful to cover the basics and benefit from Rachel’s wisdom. I came away feeling much more confident. Loved it and will be back for more!

I absolutely loved this class. Sarah is such a great teacher. You can tell she loves sewing and enjoys passing knowledge onto others. I picked up useful tips about my sewing machine and through making a bag, also learnt some new basic skills that will help me sew at home. I actually plan to book another session as Sarah was so helpful. Highly recommend!

I had a great experience with Janice, learning about my sewing machine and making a tote bag. The session went so quickly and I would repeat the experience again. Except that I may not have been a beginner as much as I thought (having made myself a dish carrier prior to coming). At least, I learned something about myself, lol... Highly recommend the experience ☆☆☆☆☆

Sewing machine masterclass (I think previously known as intro to sewing machine?) was a fantastic day. We all enjoyed ourselves. A demonstration, chance to practice on passport and fabric, and then the opportunity to make our own bag. Everyone had a great day and I love my bag! Thanks so much.

We had a wonderful time. We left feeling inspired and bursting with creativity. We were a small class of 3 people of completely differing abilities but Sarah managed all of us and our questions really well. Would recommend, and we want to come back!

This was a great intro to sewing machines, learned a lot and our instructor was so lovely!

I enjoyed my sewing class and was made to feel very comfortable. In fact, I have dusted down my old machine that has been in the shed for 15 years!. Thank you

I loved it! I was struggling for some time with my sewing machine but I learned a lot in this class and feel confident using my machine now

We had a fantastic time! We found the day really informative and it was so great to learn a new skill! The teacher was patient and extremely helpful! Highly recommend!

I bought my sewing machine over two years ago as I wanted to make some Christmas bunting, but all it did was sit in the closet. I finally decided that enough was enough and signed up for this workshop, and I am so glad I did! It was exactly what I needed to get moving. The workshop was so well paced, and Janice did a great job of guiding us along. It's perfect for anyone who wants to crack on with some sewing but is too nervous about it to get started. I left the studio full of energy and confidence, and the bunting is (at long last) nearly finished!

My sewing machine has been in a cupboard forever and Rachel helped me bring it back to life! I left the class feeling much better acquainted with my machine and inspired to use it again. Thank you so much Rachel!

Our teacher was lovely and created an environment that was warm and informative.

It was my first master class learning the basics how to use a sewing machine. I had a great time,Janice is a lovely lady who gave us lots of attention. I’ll definitely book a follow up class at the studio.☺️

Loved it ! What a great way to spend an afternoon. It was so relaxed sitting and going through my sewing machine’s and my capabilities with Rachel. She is a wonderful teacher. She’s given me confidence and inspiration to try out a pattern for the first time ever. I will definitely be back to CraftMyDay for some more classes. Would highly recommend if you are thinking of doing a class for the first time.

Loved it! Rachel was patient, and attentive. The class was really excellent and I came away confident in using my sewing machine and having made a lovely bag using new skills! Will definitely book more classes!

Great introduction to using a sewing machine.

A really fantastic course - would highly recommend!

Love the sewing class, learnt a lot and had a great time!

I took two of my (young adult) kids to this and I wasn't sure what to expect. It turned out to be an excellent three hours; Rachel is a brilliant, friendly teacher, we learned a lot and enjoyed it. We'll be coming back - thank you.

teacher ws very kind and patient and knew her stuff. Only downside for me was we didnt cover machine maintenance which the course blurb online said we would

Great help now understand my new sewing machine better. Anna is always very patient.

I had such a wonderful time at the workshop. Janice is so nice and friendly and taught us so well. I am elated with the fact that I can actually use a sewing machine now 😊

I really enjoyed the class and Sarah was excellent in the way I taught, and I also enjoyed the company of the participants in the program. I would like to thank Sarah very much for her kindness and excellent teaching method،she really excited my expectations:)Monia

Such a lovely class with Sarah Jane. She explained and demonstrated everything about the sewing machine and the tote bag we made really well. I have been inspired to sew more on the machine I have inherited as I now have the confidence to give it a go following this class. Thank you

Great introduction to sewing with a machine. Lovely teacher, nice group of people.

My daughter and I had a great time at sewing Sat session at Worcester Park branch of Craft my day. Really friendly and helpful place. Small group of 4 and my course was beneficial as a refresher, as well as for the beginners. We walked out with a finished project as planned, tote bag sewn by us! Thanks

Totally recommend this course lovely atmosphere fantastic tutor will be looking out for other courses!

I signed up to this class as It was a long time since I used a sewing machine and wanted to start sewing again. I felt a bit apprehensive at first l but I need not have worried as Janice put us all at ease and was very helpful if we were stuck at any point. We practiced on paper that had patterns such as hearts, and mazes so that we could become familiar with the sewing machine. We went onto practising on pieces of material before finally taking the plunge to make a tote bag. Janice guided us through each stage of the process and before we knew it we had all completed our bags! I was very proud of what I achieved and know I can go back and start using my sewing machine which has been sitting at home doing nothing. I would highly recommend this class to anyone who is thinking of taking up machine sewing for the first time or even if they have not done any sewing for a while.

Great class, loved it, learnt so much. Great atmosphere and teacher

Had a great time on the sewing course with Janice. She was very kind and patient with us. Came away with some nice tote bags and a new skill!

Such a lovely day. Teacher was so nice and helpful (I'm sorry, I can't remember her name!). Learnt so much about how to use a sewing machine and made a tote bag with our new skills. Would 100% recommend to anything thinking about taking this class.

It was really good class and relaxed atmosphere. Sarah is a good teacher and has lots of patience. Thanks Sarah.

Really enjoyed the class Lerned a lot and tutor was very helpful and have told others 2 give it a go

Over all an enjoyable and productive experience, guided by a very patient, articulate and knowledgeable teacher.

What an amazing place! Although I do have some experience of using sewing machines I found your class really helpfull seeing mistakes I had been making for a long time. Lovely friendly lady running the class. Such an enjoyable Saturday morning. I will definately be back for more classes!

Really enjoyed the class, learned a lot about the how the machine works and the setting up of the machine. Was happy that we had time to make a bag in the time allowed. Nice environment to be in, differing levels of skill among the participants, not all beginners.

Had a great time and definitely coming back for more.

I requested that the date of my class be changed, albeit a few days before I was scheduled to take part in the class, but I did not receive a response so unfortunately I did not attend so therefore I lost my £45.00. I fully appreciate that it was within the 7 days before the class but I am very disappointed that I did not even receive the courtesy of a reply.

A very intense but enjoyable 3 hours. Excellent tutor who made everyone feel relaxed and encouraged self-confidence. I had never touched a sewing machine before and was therefore amazed at how professional my tote bag looked.

Great - I’d never touched a sewing machine before my lesson and left 3 hours later having made my very own tote bag! Sarah-Jane was a great teacher. I’ll definitely book on to other classes to learn how to make cushions, make up bags etc. Highly recommend!

I never touch or use a sewing machine, so I am a complete beginner to learn how to use one and certainly did not expect to come away with a bag made by myself at the end of the 3 hours lesson ! I thoroughly enjoyed the practical lesson demonstrated and the interaction with the teacher is most valueable in grasping the concept of sewing and produced an item in such a short time at the end ! Amazing ! Thank you very much .

Thoroughly enjoyed the course. It was my first time using a sewing machine and I have managed to come back home with a tote bag made by me

Great little class to get to know your way around a sewing machine. Thank you

Great class. Rachel is a fantastic teacher :)

Absolutely great class. I cannot recommend it enough. Rachael is a great teacher. Warm and friendly. I had never used a sewing machine before but I learned so much I already feel confident to have a go myself. I made a beautiful bag that I want to frame! I can’t wait to book another 😃

A great class for a complete novice to sewing. Rachel’s instructions were clear and easy to follow and by the end of 3 hours I had actually made something! Very excited to try out my new found skills and I will certainly be booking on for more courses.

Really excellent workshop. Rachel makes learning fun and I never feel I must know and do it all correctly the first time. I highly recommend her workshop.

I found the class really interesting. Rachel the teacher explained every step very clearly so it was easy to follow. It certainly boosted my confidence with sewing and left me wanting to learn more. I would highly recommend this course to any beginner in sewing. Thank you Rachel😊

Great fun, very friendly and relaxing. Rachel teaches you to enjoy things and trust the machine. Feel much more confident about using the sewing machine now, and excited about taking more classes in the future.

Really enjoyed this course. Rachel is terrific and made the subject feel easy. Learnt so much. Will book more lessons.
