Excellent :) I have just completed the Level 1 sewing class and it was well worth it. I love the end products and I feel that we covered quite alot in the class without being overwhelmed. Sav was very helpful and attentive to each student and Olga was very accommodating when I had to do a make up lesson. I also did the zip pouch workshop with Olga which was fantastic. I highly recommend Studio Thimbles and will be booking in again for future workshops and the Level 2 class.

Just finished the level 1 course and couldn't be happier. Suzanne is an amazing teacher. She is so patient and was able to explain everything clearly. By the last class I was sure of what I was doing while using the sewing machine and honestly you couldn't ask more for a beginners course. I would definitely recommend Studio Thimbles to anyone who has ever wanted to learn.

Olga’s knowledge, professional skills, warm personality and patience makes her sewing lessons inspiring, motivating and a privilege to attend. Her ability to teach practically, whilst also encouraging independence and imagination through all the garments we make is invaluable. The skills and sequencing of learning to sew are presented clearly and logically and her additional one-to-one one support within the class is so generous.
