"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

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."

" 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 cannot recommend Helen and Sew School highly enough. I was a very nervous sewer before I did the 'Sew Basic' course, and was also finding it difficult using my old sewing machine, which was rather temperamental! Now I know though that I wasn't helping matters as I was getting the basics wrong, even threading the bobbin etc. I've already grown in confidence in just 5 weeks, and have loved every minute of Sew school. I think it's great that we only have small classes, as it means we get a lot of individual attention. We learn so many techniques, which you can then go onto apply to many different projects. If you get the basics right, who knows what you might go on to achieve! I've already made a teddy bear, and a tote bag in my own time and want to make more things. I've now also just joined the monthly Sew Club, and with Helen's help and encouragement, have made a little handbag, perfect for a night out! Helen herself is so kind, caring, ever patient and encouraging, has a great sense of humour, and she is SO knowledgeable. You know you are in safe hands when you are in her company!. Going to Helen's sew school is one of the best and smartest things I've ever done, thank you so very much Helen. I can't wait until next month's Sew club! Ruth x

"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." Jane 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

The sew basic course was absolutely brilliant. The content taught me enough skills to make a simple shopping bag on my own and I have made a pencil case too since the course. Each session taught us different skills and techniques and your explanations were very easy to follow during the sessions. Your written information for each session has proved very useful.

"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

Thank you so much for finally introducing me to my sewing machine!! Your course was fantastic fun and has equipped me with all the basic skills needed to produce my own lovely creations at home. I couldn't wait to get started and have already made a couple of very professional-looking cushions, so there's no stopping me now! I'm loving being creative and having the confidence to turn all my ideas into real products. X

" I am really glad I signed up to the Sew Basic course and couldn't recommend it highly enough - Helen is an excellent
teacher, very patient, thorough and accommodating. The set up was very relaxed and friendly, a great environment to learn a new skill. I genuinely feel that I have conquered what seemed like an impossible challenge in the form of the
sewing machine and now look forward to building on what I've learnt - I'm getting the machine out regularly! Many
thanks for everything Helen!" - Fran

"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

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

"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

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

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
