"Just a little note to thank you so much for all your patient tuition on the sew basic course. I didn't realise there was so much to learn about sewing, and I'm so pleased to have found someone to teach all the techniques properly. Now I feel inspired to start making things and improve my confidence with practice." - Caroline

"I really enjoyed the Sew basic course. My confidence grew hugely and things that had once looked impossible became completely "do-able"! Thanks Helen

"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 thought Sew Basic was an extremely comprehensive course, which has proved to be very inspiring. Your instruction and accompanying booklet was very clear and concise and great to have at home as a point of reference. Since doing the course I have made several things, which I'm extremely pleased with and never thought possible! I've definitely got the sewing bug! I would (and do) highly recommend Sew Basic."

"A really big thank you for taking the scariness out of sewing for me! I have wanted to be creative with the sewing
machine for such a long time and your course has really given me the confidence and skills to help me do this. You have
such a flexible approach and friendly teaching manner that made learning such fun. A resounding thumbs up for a
course that exceeded my expectations and I shall definitely be booking for the Sew Club!" - Kate

Helen has set a nice learning environment for all of us, clearly explained and demonstrated each step and guided us along the way at our own pace. From threading the needle and getting to know the machine to sewing in a zip and making buttonholes - we have covered a lot. I can certainly recommend this course and have done so already.... Sabine

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

"Hello Helen, I just want to let you know how much I enjoyed my sewing lessons with you. I looked forward to my Tuesday morning lesson every week. Having a small class made it so much more personal and any problems that I had were quickly answered." Regards Imelda

I found the course very informative. The first lesson for me was a little slow for me but it was good to practice and also realise that the way the bobbin went into the machine did in fact matter! It was also helpful to have a little time to talk to the others in the class. The rest of the course was good and the notes have been an excellent reference source. It has given me more confidence when trying to sew/mend items at home. I particularly like the way you teach all the different types of seams/stitches and then get the class to use these techniques to make little samples. It really helps to break down the complexities, real or imagined, being able to make/sew projects.

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

"Before I started at Helen's Sew School, I had no idea about threading a sewing machine needle, or how to sew anything. However, before the end of the first lesson, I so impressed with the progress that had been made. Helen is a good and very patient teacher, and I will recommend her again and again. I am actually looking forward to more classes!" - Bunmi

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

" I loved your course - it was very well organized. I never felt bored or lost. You were always on hand and you made
things very clear. I also appreciated having the file that you gave me. It has all the things I have learnt on your course
and is a good to refer back to. My daughter didn't receive any info on her course and I know that at times she forgot
things and it was hard to get the teachers attention, as the class was so big. The small classes you take are exactly what
a novice needs!" -Kristy

"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

" The basic course was exactly what id been looking for - it taught me the basics and how to build onto each new skill learnt, using practical examples to show how something is created using the various steps which i found really encouraging as i was able to put my new skills into practice after only a few lessons. The course didn't over complicate things, which has motivated me to now try new projects. Helens teaching style is relaxed and she manages to share a huge amount of knowledge and skills without it being overwhelming. I would definitely recommend this course as its given me the confidence to attempt all sorts of projects and has sparked a real interest in sewing for me which I know ill keep up over the years. It also proved to be a good giggle each week, as the ladies in our group were lovely! Thanks very much Helen and ill be back!" - Jessica, St Albans
