Patchwork Heart Workshop
“Such a lovely day. On arrival we were set up with beautifully prepared materials! Everyone worked at their own speed and Bianca was on hand throughout to give help when needed. Plenty of tea, coffee and a delicious lunch was also provided as well as some very tasty cake! A thoroughly enjoyable day and our brilliant teacher Bianca. Thank you!”
Lena
Patchwork pouch
“I really enjoyed the day there was no stress thinking about what material or supplies you needed as it was all there ready for you which meant you just had to arrive and enjoy sewing. Iv never done any patchwork before but I enjoyed the experience. Bianca is so patient and an excellent teacher that I felt really comfortable asking for help the atmosphere.”
Pam
Amazing!
“I have been to a few of Bianca's sewing events and especially loved her recent Valentine's workshop. Everything had been organised to perfection so we could just enjoy the day making the pouch. It was a great environment too, looking forward to doing another one”
Gail
Heart pouch workshop
“I didn't look at the instruction as Bee was so good at showing and explaining the next steps. I went in my own but soon fitted into the group there was plenty of chatter and laughter too. Lovely lunch was provided. Then back to the sewing. Bee is so caring and kind and willing to help when needed We all managed to complete the pouch. thank you”
Lianne
Absolutely brilliant
“What a lovely day! I've never done any quilting before, so this looked perfect. The kit set up was brilliant. Very well organised. As there were only 8 of us it was the perfect size. Never had to hang around for help. Lots of space to work so not at all cramped. I'd definitely do another workshop or a social.”

The Complicated Made Easy!
“Amazing workshop! I arrived tired after work, but because the atmosphere was so relaxed and the tuition so focused, I was soon sewing. I even inserted a zip! Learning about how to thread and learning the components of a machine and their function will mean I'll be sewing with some confidence. Thank you!!”
Gemma
Very informative session!
“I really enjoyed the workshop with Bianca. We had a discussion before we started about what experience I had so far and anything in particular I was looking to learn and she tailored the session perfectly. I came away with lots of new tips and excited to continue with my sewing journey!”

Emma
Perfect reintroduction to sewing
“Had a lovely evening with Bianca. I’d been taught by my grandma as a child but as an adult I hadn’t been near a sewing machine in 10-12 years. The class is a great introduction to the basics and Bianca was so patient with us. We even had time to make scrunchies!”
Kirsty
Beginner friendly
“I've not had any instruction since high school some 20+ years ago so was quite nervous but Bianca made me feel comfortable and went at a good pace for me to pick up all the necessary essential points for using the machine. We had time to make scrunchies and I'm looking forward to attacking my fabric pile now!”
Kaya Jones
Thank you so much to Bianca!
“She was incredibly patient and communicated everything so clearly. I really appreciated her calm and encouraging approach. I definitely look forward to joining any future classes. Thank you again!”
Sue G
Soooo good!
“Felt quite nervous but shouldn’t have been! Loved this workshop, it was taken at a nice pace for the group, so tailored well. Bianca was a natural teacher and very helpful. She has inspired me! Great little sewing room too.”
Lynn
The perfect introduction!
“Having last sat behind a sewing machine over 40 years ago at school, I wanted to attend a course for a complete beginner. Bianca was so patient and explained everything perfectly. Didn’t feel silly asking questions and the 2 hours just flew by. Can’t wait to learn more…..”
Sarah
Highly recommended!
“A friend recommended you after I was feeling a little overwhelmed with another sewing class I am taking. It was great to have some clarification and learn some skills. Highly recommended!”
Courage
Thank you!
“Thank you so much for coming to my house! I have always wanted to learn how to sew because I dream of becoming a fashion designer. Our lesson was amazing , gave me a solid foundation in the basics and boosted my confidence!”
