Excellent tutorial on making PJ bottoms. Good instruction from Janice who was very patient with me and the other 3 people in my group. Learnt how to sew internal pockets into the side seams that I hadn’t done before which was great.

Brilliant course x just looking to see what’s next x
Anne Hayes - 26 June 2022
Again another excellent workshop and walked out with more knowledge and a wonderful pair of pyjama bottoms produced. Not generic one size fits all but one which fits me. Pattern made to size, material cut and sewn in just over 3 hours. Wonderful way to spend a morning would recommend this workshop.

Did needlework at school and made a few pieces of clothing at home in my teens but hadn't made anything for 30 years+. It was a very good refresher course and I've ended up with a fab pair of green gingham trousers. Mine are leisure pants for the summer, mainly to wear around the house, although I wore them to a restaurant and friends were really impressed!

Really enjoyable, easy to follow and very relaxed. Was the perfect gift for my mother who is a beginner sewer.

Rachel and her crew are brilliant at teaching you how to use a sewing machine and make some really neat stuff. Our class over-ran but the teacher / instructor just stayed with us and got everyone to the end of their project (Beach Trousers for me). All I need now is to be allowed to go on holiday somewhere!

Who would have thought i could turn up with a piece of material and leave with an amazing pair of pyjama bottoms ! Sarah Jane was a great teacher , explained things in such a way you felt like sewing was a complete norm to you . I'll be back to make a cushion in September. X

Great workshop. Rachel is very chilled and approachable and makes you feel confident. Lovely encouraging atmosphere , perfect for a Saturday afternoon and I am now the owner of a fab pair of pyjama bottoms!

The PJ ( bottoms only) workshop review. Very nice studio with lots of light. Good Janome machine with a variety of stitches. Pleasant teacher. Workshop was extremely basic. I felt that it should have been advertised as a very basic beginners class. For three hours I had expected a more detailed pattern with at least a separate waistband. I finished one hour and fifteen minutes prior to the end of the class. I would have finished earlier if an overlocker had been made available. Used a stich (similar to an overlocker) which gave a good finish on the sewing machine but this was not as quick to use. However I was the only attendee and have been sewing for 18 months. A good class if you have none or little experience of sewing. A cloth copy of the two piece pattern used to make the Pajama bottoms was given to me as I asked but I was told that normally this doesn’t happen.
