Testimonials

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.
Destiny
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!
Sebastian
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!
Tanya
Kavitha’s workshop was fun, practical and informative. Although I have been sewing for some time, I learnt some great basic tips and left the workshop wanting to sew more.
Tracey
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.
Becky
my 12 year old daughter loved the introduction to the sewing machine workshop….very informative and encouraging….she can’t get enough of sewing now!
Katie
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.
Ahine
Really lovely evening spent learning how to use my sewing machine. I now feel confident to make things! Really reasonable cost as well.
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.
Liz
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
