Learn to Sew

Clare is an amazing teacher, i always have a wonderful time and the trousers i made are exquisite.

I haven't touched a sewing machine for many, many years so this was exactly what I needed to feel confident about sewing again. I loved having a refresher on the machine and just getting to practice different types of stitches.

Really enjoyed my visit and already planning my return to learn and get more knowledge. The space is great and the tutor “Claire” was helpful with all my questions and gave me some tips for my own projects.

Such a fun and informative session with Claire learning about how to set up a sewing machine, the different settings and some practice as a complete beginner - can't wait for the next one!

Fabulous as always! Claire is a really great teacher. I really enjoy attending her classes and have learned a lot.

A wonderful class, learning is one-on-one so you can ask specific questions. We went over how to thread and use a machine, different uses for different types of stitches, a couple of alteration types, and some good tips for buying my own machine. Claire is lovely to learn from and I plan to continue taking more advanced classes as I get more involved with sewing.

Excellent day time well spent

Claire was such an incredible, patient, lovely teacher. I taught me everything I wanted to learn and answered all questions I had. She even stayed a bit longer than the set time to finish teaching me something I wanted to learn. I am a beginner so I was quite nervous because I didn’t know anything about sewing but Claire was so very kind to show and teach me step by step. I would definitely recommend the workshop for anyone!

Claire is a great sewing teacher. Her small workshop in a creative shared space in Canning Town is very cute and very easy to reach with public transport. She taught me the basics of how to use a sewing machine and we did an alteration together. She is a good communicator. Understands what you want to learn and teaches it very effectively. She is also an exceptional tailor. She has amazing skills and very knowledgeable. I am so impressed with her skills. Highly recommended.

I attended a one-to-one sewing lesson with Claire yesterday. I am a complete beginner on sewing machines & wanted to learn how to use a machine before buying one. Claire taught me how to set up the machine and how to use its different functions, which I then had the opportunity to try myself. I learned more that I thought possible in 1 hour, without any sense of rushing. I liked the one-to-one session as I could ask lots of questions & everything was based on my level of experience. Claire also gave me excellent advice on buying a sewing machine taking my expectations & budget into account. I left the lesson feeling motivated to try out my new skills & get practicing. I plan to return to Claire for a further lesson when I get to a higher level of knowledge. I would definitely recommend a Moxie Craft lesson with Claire.

A very good session. A low-stress experience with a clear and patient tutor.

The venue was easy to find and a nice little space - it showed me any space is possible to sew an outfit. From the moment I walked in, Claire was friendly and welcoming and she has given me tremendous confidence to design and pull together some exciting outfits. At no time did Claire make me feel stupid nor any question I asked was too dumb. She was patient and helpful. I will certainly be back! We chatted all the way through and I learnt how to use some very important tools - still have to work on drawing curves but practice makes perfect so I’ll get there….soon! Thanks Claire. You’re great!
