"I would highly recommend your Sew Club. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it was great to put the skills I had learnt previously with you into practice knowing you were there to help - it also means you do actually sit down and do something productive with your skills instead of forgetting them. I also thought it was a lovely, sociable way to enjoy a hobby and be creative - always very rewarding." - Jane

I would just like to say how much I enjoyed the class today

I feel I have learnt so much in such a short space of time

You have obviously thought long and hard regarding your class prep

Amazing course, which gives you an excellent foundation to get to know your sewing machine and complete simple projects. Two years on and I am sewing regularly: making clothes for children and adults as a hobby! I still refer back to my really useful course text book! Belinda

"Helens Sew Club is fun, friendly and inspiring. I'm so surprised that even I can use a sewing machine - its all in the teaching!" - Sarah

"I joined the Sew Basic Course a complete novice, and through Helen's clear and simple instructions, I feel I've come out, five classes later, able to do all the things I used to think of as advanced skills! From making pleats to putting in a zip it all seems sew (!) much easier than I thought it was! And great fun too." See you soon. J xx

Thank you so much for teaching me how to sew. The technique you used made it easier for me to understand everything. The warm atmosphere made it very relaxing and you had time for each one of us. You never rushed us. Francisca

I started the course having already some experience so I was worried I wouldn’t learn much. It was an extremely interesting and useful course instead and having already experience made it even more useful because I could better understand what we where talking about and which mistakes I have done in the past.

I’m feeling far more confident now and in power of what I’m doing. Sewing has become a more enjoyable experience.

Helen is extremely friendly and professional. She loves sharing her experience and the atmosphere around the table was very relaxed and joyful even if there was no time for chit chat and every minute was used to learn. This is the perfect course for anyone who really wants to learn to sew.

I also find very useful that after the course there’s the possibility to join the sewing club or taking private lessons, so you don’t feel abandoned after the course, which is something I always experienced after attending other courses.

"I am thrilled with the little handbag that I produced on Helen's Sew Club - I never ever thought that I would be able to make something like that! After the class I bought some different material to see if I could make one on my own and with Helen's clear written instructions as backup I did it! Your classes are great Helen - you are truly inspirational, thank-you! :o)" - Julie

Ruth

"I loved the cushion making Sew Club and feel very proud of the cover that I completed in one morning which I have to say looks very professional." - Ruth

Vanessa

What can I say about the course other than brilliant? "When I came to my first lesson I didn't know how to turn on a sewing machine. After the Sew Basic course I could actually make things! A great introduction to machine sewing and very good value."

Toni

I am home, tired, but very very pleased to have done your intensive course. I love how beautifully structured and planned it was, how generous you were with your teaching, and the convivial company!!! Thank you….. I look forward to seeing some or all again in the not too distant future. Fond regards, Toni

I absolutely loved Helen's Sew Basic Course. She is a fantastic teacher. Friendly, highly knowledgeable and very patient. The classes are small so Helen has plenty of time to help everyone no matter what speed you learn at. As a complete novice to a sewing machine I was amazed at what I was able to achieve after a few lessons. After my second lesson I made two envelope pillow cases and after my third I made my daughter a pair of leggings. I cannot recommend Helen highly enough and am eagerly awaiting the start of her new sewing club. Louise
