I enjoyed making a cushion for the first time at make mee studio. It was a small class and really lovely teachers. Great experience. I will recommend it 100% I will definitely go again to try some of the other classes

Super happy with the cushion I made and the lovely support I had whilst making it. It is now sitting elegantly on my sofa, and would still like to know the name of the pattern on it so I can make more like it... !

It was a great class. I am an absolute beginner and was not too confident I was actually going to leave with something I made. The instructor was lovely, super patient and overall it was a great atmosphere.
