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.

Annie was a lovely, very patient teacher. I really enjoyed the session and was so impressed that I had a finished cushion cover to take home. Thank you!
