Again a wonderful set of classes and although have been to other classes. This was even better. Came home with perfect dress and extra skills and personalised pattern for more dresses that will fit. Rachel's skills and knowledge are effortlessly given and enjoy these sessions so much. Would recommend them.

It's my second course with Crafy my Day and I was super excited. For someone is who very basic sewing skills Rachel was simply brilliant and teaching us tips and tricks along the way to increase our confidence. She's talented, kind and patient as well as wonderful company! Thank you so much - I can't believe I made the dress!

Thoroughly enjoyed this course! Very informative when learning about patterns and how to adjust them to fit your measurements. Rachel was very helpful at answering any questions regarding techniques and process along the way. Her step by step teaching was very easy to understand. Looking forward to wearing my finished dress!
