I LOVED this class so much and cannot sing its praises loudly enough. Robin is an excellent teacher and I left feeling confident and well educated. It was a lovely, fun group and learning/creating environment. Highly recommend!

This was a wonderful class. Robin is an excellent and patient teacher. I had some sewing experience but my education was from the distant past. I appreciated starting with the basics and picked up invaluable information about my machine and basic aspects of sewing, fabric, and pattern cutting. The projects we made in this class were perfect for what we were learning. Robin has a great balance of having an attention to detail while providing a relaxed and supportive environment.
