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 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!

Kavita was very knowledgeable and had lots of fabric for us to use as examples.

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.

Kelly
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.

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.

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?
