Amazing Testimonials for our Sewing Classes
Wow! What an incredible workshop. The how to master your sewing machine workshop was definitely what I needed. I learnt how to set up my machine, use different stitches and settings a s troubleshoot common problems. The instructor was really knowledgeable and really patient with me. She answered all my questions and gave me plenty of time to practice. My confidence in my sewing skills has improved 10 fold and I couldn’t have got here without this class. This workshop is a must for anyone who wants to improve their sewing skills
I attended the Visible Clothes Mending class run by Kavitha at isifiso. The class was very well-organized and all tools needed was provided. Kavitha was very friendly and knowledgeable. The class was very fun and relaxing, and I felt very proud of my work at the end. I highly recommend this class to anyone who wants to learn how to repair their clothes
This workshop was amazing. I learned how to mend clothes in three different ways and I was surprised by how easy and fun it was. The instructor was very professional and supportive. She taught us how to use different tools and materials and how to be creative with our mending. I feel more confident and inspired to mend my own clothes now. This workshop is a must for anyone who cares about the environment and their wardrobe.
The machine sewing 101 workshop was amazing. The instructor was very knowledgeable and provided informative tips, hints and advice. She consistently checked on our progress and supported each of us whilst also encouraging us. The setting and and mood was very relaxing and welcoming. I will definitely be attending more workshops from this instructor.
I feel much more confident about attempting basic repairs on my clothes and also feel like I could develop my skills. The workshop was really great for getting a sense of sewing and some basic skills. Plus I now have attached my missing button and fixed the hem on a favourite skirt!
I went from knowing absolutely nothing about sewing to having a grounding in the knowledge needed to tackle basic repairs and projects alone with my sewing machine. Everything from fabric choice and thread types to technique and equipment were covered! I really enjoyed the session and I’m feeling motivated to learn more!
I absolutely loved my session with Kavitha. She knew her stuff. I learned so much in such a short space of time. The other ladies there were friendly & supportive . I left the session feeling a lot more confident about how to use my machine & with a feeling of wanting to learn more about sewing.
It was a treat receiving a workshop from someone that’s so knowledgeable. Kavitha really takes the time to explain each step, so if you’re a complete beginner like myself, you won’t get lost. She was also observant of who was falling behind and made sure to give them some 1-1 help, which is great.
Kavitha was a knowledgeable course leader. We covered 3 topics – hemming, sewing a button and mending a seam tear. I feel that I learnt a lot in the two hours and would highly recommend Kavitha and the course. I’m looking forward to the next one.

A really gorgeous item. The lavender smell was divine and so relaxing. Well packaged, quick delivery and great communication with the seller. I'd definitely recommend. Wonderfully soothing to use too.
I got the Ditsy Floral scrunchie for my niece. They are really well made and she loves the fabric and I love that I’ve bought her something that’s ethical.

A little back story
Fabrics have their own story. From the time I was 12 and started to sew, I have been fascinated by the story behind the fabrics and how they came into my hands. I have always collected (hoarded fabrics) and so when they needed rescuing, I knew I had to do it. Want to know more and how I started with fabric rescue project?
