The class was a joy to attend, i was nervous about attending because i had never done pattern cutting before and only did sewing as a fun thing. Jamie was an excellent tutor. Very calm, patient and gave you the attention needed as a beginner. I met other lovely attendees, it was a really warm and encouraging atmosphere and i will be attending my next class in february. It was a delightful experience that has helped my confidence in pursuing this as a passion. I highly recommend Makemee studios.
MargaretVery informative course. Really useful. Each step was very well explained. I ended up with block to take home and a toile that actually fits me. It also gave me the confidence to alter shop-bought patterns to fit better.
Kate SwanA lovely workshop in pattern cutting. Really log forward to taking more classes!
AnnaExcellent tutor, very good location. Plentiful and functional equipment. And my trouser block worked first time! Well worth doing this course. Thankyou Steph.

Emma OwenThe class was really helpful and fun, and the teacher was very knowledgeable. I came away with a well-fitting toile and lots of enthusiasm to make trousers that fit me!

Janet EvansAfter taking the excellent Casual Basics class, I found this class super useful, as it really helped me visualise how clothes are put together! Jamie was extremely patient and cheerful, and very encouraging too :)
Chiara PuntilReally interesting way to learn key skills for copying clothes. As always very friendly and knowledgeable teachers on hand. Now just to try and sew my pattern!
Sarah-Joy LewisThank you for a really useful session on making a pattern to copy one of my favourite dresses. The method of teaching made the activity easy to follow and the personal attention was invaluable . I learned so much. Thank you.
Lesley RahamimJamie and Kate were very knowledgeable and helpful and I felt like I would be able to copy a variety of clothes going forward as they explained the technique really well and took the ti to answer any question I had. I was able to understand how to copy 3 types of garments so very pleased with this workshop and highly recommend!

Ruth LordReally enjoyed the class. Laura was really good at explaining the process and generous with her help, so we got through a lot in the time we had. The small group size made for a really nice atmosphere. Highly recommend, and can’t wait to finish my trousers

Sharon. A Townsend-ThompsonVery intense yet enjoyable experience
Asia HaidariReally welcoming and informative workshop. Josh & Amelia where on hand throughout and able to help everyone individually as well as lead the group as a whole. I left with patterns for two garmets which I can't wait to make at home. Brilliant.

Peri KennedyGreat class - knowledgeable and friendly tutors and I left feeling really confident I could do it again by myself!
Elizabeth HampsonFriendly, expert advice.
LibertyI really enjoyed this session and very happy with my toile. It is a lot to fit in in one day so I was lucky enough that I didn't need many refinements but I was amazed how much was covered in a day. It's just a shame you can sit in to have your own lunch. Will be back soon
Monika SukthankarIt was a well organised and friendly class, with lots of support and advice. I would recommend the class to newbees to sewing and experienced sewers alike. I am going back for another class as testament to how much I enjoyed it.
AnonymousReally great course, learnt a lot. Even though was a very big step up for me, really helped to start understanding how to alter patterns and get my head around why specific changes work fo your body shape.
KayVery enjoyable, productive day, …thanks
JOANNA LEWISThis class was enjoyable and instructive; it was really interesting to analyse the construction of a garment with help from the skilled tutors, and to learn how to make a pattern so I can recreate my own version.
HelenaGreat class! Thanks for explaining everything so well. Looking forward to making my first pair of trousers x
Jan SkeatesI had only ever taken clothes apart to make a pattern and found the course extremely helpful as to how to keep a garment and still copy it. Jaime gave us lots of tips and hints and worked with everyone to help them develop at their own pace. She also gave guidance on fabrics, fixings and the plan for making the garment as well as making the pattern. An excellent session .
Kim KnappettWe had a lovely day with Jamie, who was patient, positive and very knowledgeable! The venue was bright and comfortable and we are going back for more classes!
LauraI have not done any sewing for a few years - well decades! - and wanted to make a pattern from one of my favourite tops - so decided to look for a class. I was recommended Make Mee studios and I have now been to the 'copy your clothes' class, and several sewing surgeries on Thursday lunchtimes. I have enjoyed myself so much and learnt a great deal from Jaime and Tracey! I have met other sewers too - and had great cake! And made myself a fabulous new top! I highly recommend them
Jo ClemensI was a bit scared to make trousers so I decided to take this class, and now I feel much more confident! Jamie help us measure ourselves and then transfer these to paper to make a trouser block. We then sewed it up and made adjustments as necessary. It's so much better to have someone with a trained eye (Jamie) to look at where the block needs adjusting. I really enjoyed the class and I feel so much more encouraged that trousers shouldn't be so scary to make!
Dianne NicholsJamie was so helpful throughout the day, and I really enjoyed the course. The group was a good size of 4 people. We measured ourselves to make a bodice block which we then sewed up and tweaked as necessary. It's such a good course to do to advance my dress-making skills. Thanks very much to Jamie and Tracey!
Dianne NicholsI also attend Copy your favourite clothes Learn how to use my overlocker Beginners dress making I learned that sewing is something that’s fun, and I can do it. Great confidence builder and a wonderful group of women to lean with and two fantastic and very accomplished and informative teachers, with a wealth of experience between them. They are also extremely patient and no question is silly. The studio is really well designed and equipped with all the relevant sewing machines needed to complete any sewing task. Everything is to hand and it has a wonderful vibe . I love going there and there is always some new and interesting class to attend. I also love the fact that you can do one day of sewing and come away with a completed item. They are the go to people and I have had many sewing questions answered . It’s very reasonable priced and the classes are some so you can always get attention and it is a fun day out.

Paula HunterI really enjoyed the relaxed informality of the session. Was really happy to leave with my toile knowing it was going to help me get the right fit when sewing in future. Would recommend others to attend the workshops to learn or improve on skills. Good value for money 👍

Hazel GrantReally fun, laid back class. I came away with a well fitting pair of trousers but did feel that an extra hour would be helpful to properly discuss fitting issues and next steps with the toile/block
ClaireI had such a good day! The class was intimate and relaxed and Jaime was a friendly and super knowledgeable teacher. Whilst being a bit of a learning curve for me ( I'd never made my own pattern or toile before) I was chuffed to bits to have completed my first pair of trousers in a day! I've definitely learnt lots of top tips from Make Mee and the other students and feel I can totally have a go on my own now. Top banana!
rachelI had a great time doing my bodice with the help of Jaime. The location of the studio is absolutely lovely and relaxing, you feel like you are at home and the hostesses are just genuinly nice and friendly. The advices I got were great and I will be looking forward to go again to make my first garment in a long time with their support.
StéphanieVery useful session. Useful tips and the group was small so we each got a lot of help with our own projects.
