I thoroughly recommend The Sewciety School. My daughter has learnt so much and has produced some lovely pieces. Tshala is a very patient teacher and my daughter felt relaxed and comfortable in class right from the start.

My son had a great time making a t-shirt! He learnt so much and has been proudly wearing it to show friends and family 😊
