"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

Gisela

"i actually missed our classes on Tuesdays once they were finished! you made learning how to sew a lot of fun and gave patient and individual attention when ever requested. I was completely new to sewing and it was great to have a machine provided and your advice on which one to buy as well as the sewing bibles. i have since bought both! You packed the classes with lots of stitch practice and little tasks to help us progress quickly. Hope to see you and engage your services soon again." - Gisela x

Thank you very much for your help. I would like to say how much I have enjoyed doing the sewing course with you. I would definitely recommend your sew class to my friends

You are a lovely lady, friendly and you go round to all your students when they need your help and most of all you treat all your students equal.

I went along to Helen's Sew basic course after not getting my sewing machine out for several years and seeing it as the enemy as it would always eat up my material. I had a very basic knowledge of how to thread the machine and make a simple garment but everything that I have ever made looked very botched and amateurish. After going on Helen's course, with her calm manner, patience, clear instructions and fabulous reference book, I now feel that I have the confidence to be able to produce professional looking items using a variety of techniques. Every week I wanted to go home and make something new using the new skills that Helen taught me. My friends have seen some of my work and have even put in orders for me to make them things too! For the first time, with thanks to Helen, I am proud of something I have produced on my sewing machine." - Julie

I can't think of anything that would have improved the sessions, other than it would be nice to have had a half time break but time didn't always allow. I think your teaching is excellent, the way you explained "how and why" and providing the booklet to refer back to. I really enjoyed it. Thank you. And I have made a bag! Sandra

I had a wonderful time on the sewing course,

it has given me the confidence to finally try the patterns In my many sewing books.

I would love a place in your sewing club if there is one available.

I really feel that this is the beginning of my sewing career!!!

Hope to see you soon.

" 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 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."

"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

Kate

"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

Julie

"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

Ursula

I thoroughly enjoyed your Sew Basic Course and would definitely recommend it. I came to it a bit of a novice but have built up so much more confidence in my sewing. Thank you!

Debbie

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

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
