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.

Pyjama bottom's Workshop - great introduction to patterns!

Clare Knapman

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!

Sharon Attewell

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

Mark Hanson

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! 

Emily Davis

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

Becky 

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!

Nicola Thompson

A great workshop- sarah Jane was an excellent relaxed tutor. Thoroughly enjoyed the workshop- felt relaxed afterwards. Would highly recommend 

Debra McKay

Good appropriate venue.
Good equipment 
Great trainer
Appropriate for all levels 

Anne Hayes

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.

Tina Sanders

Brilliant course x just looking to see what’s next x

Helena Butler

I had a great time, learnt so much about using a pattern and came home with a garment I made myself !  Such a patient teacher

Great fun! Really excellent tutor who gave us lots of guidance and encouragement. I went from beginner zero to hero cookie decorator in 2 hours and took a wonderful box of cookies home to impress everyone

Julie  Davies 

After doing some research for an 'icing biscuits' workshop I chose Craft My Day. 
The workshop was truly fantastic. We were taught lots of different techniques and tips. The room was spacious, well lit and cozy, the tutor Jackie was knowledgeable and extremely talented. 
I had such a lovely time and came away with a box of beautiful iced biscuits. I have since made my own at home for my granddaughter's 1st birthday and got lots of lovely compliments. 
I will certainly be back for a different workshop in the new year.
Thankyou.

Glass Fusing

Pamela 

The process of creating a glass coaster and dish using fused glass to decorate was carefully explained and demonstrated with the aid of finished examples.  We learnt about appropriate health and safety issues, how to cut and glue glass and how to develop a design using a range of  prepared coloured glass pre-cut  in different shapes and textures, including some ground into quite a fine powder. The fusing process involving the kiln was explained and we then completed the design and making of 2 coasters and a dish which the teacher took away to be fused - the finished products to be collected at a later date.
The teacher was extremely informative, helpful and friendly and everyone was put at their ease. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the workshop which I think could be described as a mindful experience.
The venue was easily accessible and  comfortable with all the necessary resources and equipment on hand. The studio workshop was well set up with appropriate attention given to health and safety.

Karen Chapman 

Had a wonderful time. Met some lovely people & the instructor, Clare, was wonderful. Informative, friendly & patient. Excellent value for money too. Can’t wait to do another workshop. 

Polly Elder

This was a well led and extremely relaxing class to attend.  We were shown examples of what could be achieved in the session, some technical pointers and clear safety instructions.  It wasn't long before we were 'hands on'.  All through the session were encouraged to try our own styles but assistance was always prompt if we needed it.  The refreshments were most welcome.  Our glass was fired, beautifully packed and available at the workshop on the day promised.  Clare was extremely sensitive and aware of what we would like to take away from the course.  I would thoroughly recommend that anyone should try this craft.   

Julie Sewell

The workshop was great fun and very well organised. Seeing everyone's ideas was inspirational and it was amazing how much we achieved in the time. Total concentration needed so very mindful! Claire is a very good teacher.

Lisa Langridge 

It was a very informative and enjoyable course and would have no hesitation in doing further courses at this venue.

Would   absolutely recommend this workshop.

Pleased with items I made and can’t wait to see them when they have been fired.

I loved the course.  I created a pendant and two light catchers / pictures in the 3 hours, way more than I was expecting to achieve.  Pieces have gone away to be fired. and will hopefully look fab. Very relaxing and fun. Considering booking again for the same course.

Carol 

Once again had such a brilliant time.  Cant wait to how the finished items. Will be attending more workshops to learn much more. Thank you so much. Would absolutely recommend this workshop.
