I recently completed a four-week beginners sewing course and it was fantastic. We learned to sew a raffle handbag from start to finish, including drawing the pattern. Joyce was patient and clear, breaking down each step into manageable parts. By the end, I felt confident in my sewing skills and understanding of pattern-making. The supportive environment and practical projects made this course an excellent introduction to sewing. Highly recommended for anyone looking to start their sewing journey.

I approached Joyce to learn how to make my own clothing as I was tired of spending money on ill fitting fast fashion.

Joyce in an amazing tutor and a great source of inspiration. She is not only knowledgeable but approachable too, making her lessons thoroughly enjoyable.

In the time I have spent studying under her guidance, I have learnt to; handle different fabrics, set up my machine, draft my own patterns, and become more confident sewing.

Having Joyce as a tutor has reenergised me. I find myself excited to make my own clothes and have become more appreciative of the clothes I own as I’ve learned what it takes to produce them.

I would highly recommend Joyce to anyone wanting to gain confidence creating clothing for personal or commercial reasons as I believe her approach would transform a beginner (like myself) to professional.

She’s very through when she’s teaching and always pushes her students for their best. They’re is no chance for failure when Joyce teaches she always there to help.

Joyce is kind and nice, I am shy when I first met people and she made me feel comfortable. Joyce is always there to give me advice on fashion and motivate me to be my best and an amazing tutor
