October 2022.

It was a fantastic few days, so thanks so much for all your hard work!

As a beginner, It would have be good to have a minimum, requirements list e.g PIns, scissors, Tape measure, etc.

Making it clear that arrival time is 4pm, I wasn’t sure if there was an activity at 4pm or that was the earliest to come.

It was also great to be able to be confident and comfortable with the food and have intolerance catered for! Carol

A really good few days, made even more joyous by the splendid company. Everyone gelled and a great time had by all.

Well done indeed on the catering arrangements which were 1st class.

A lovely five days with something to show for it.

What a wonderful few days. Despite some apprehension about everything, as the time went on everything was hugely enjoyable.

It is wonderful to see the complementary skills of Julie and Sue. I love Julies teaching style, knowledge and practical tips while amking sure we all had success. She manages to go round and be there just as one needed advice on next stage or such worked for me.

Sues hard work and cheerfulness (of you both) is hugely appreciated along with the amazing provisions of delicious food puddings and cakes, all plentiful and with awareness of dietary requirements. A total joy to be so well looked after.

The manor provided plenty of space and tables to work. The light and window was brilliant but I would not have enjoyed the other end of the room. The house and facilities were comfortable and functional amazing for the number of people.

I have had the most fantastic week. I have enjoyed being able to sew with others who also love sewing. I felt there was plenty of room and equipment ( cutting tables, Irons, overlockers ) It was good to be able to leave our sewing equipment out for the following day.

Sue and Julie worked so hard this week, teaching and supporting us all with sewing. Checking out we were okay, whilst letting us work at our own pace. I liked that we could bring our own patterns (not all making the same item) . A clearer sewing list before arriving would be helpful.

The food was great and ability to cater for different needs. Please can you publish some of the recipes on line.?

Thank you- Loved it and laughed loads Emma
