What Others Are Saying...
The class covered a lot of topics so I had to keep reminding myself that I can keep the course information as a reference. Enjoyed the banter between the instructors. You both present in a way that makes me feel I can actually do this.
I have enjoyed every aspect of this class. I am not a total beginner and have made several items of clothing but I did not realise quite how much I still had to learn. Having purchased this course and knowing that I can access it any time gives me so much confidents. Your descriptions and processes are so clear and concise.
This course has been exactly what I have been looking for. I needed a refresher course that was local to me and I was extremely hesitant to undertake an online course. I took a gamble online and as the price was so reasonable, I thought it was worth the risk and you girls haven’t disappointed! Ideally, I would love for someone to sit over my shoulder and guide me with my projects, but this is course has been the very next best thing. Thank you both!
