Extremely efficient, talented, honest and friendly- what more do you want

Sew Informed
“Having completed the ‘foundations’ course, I definitely got the bug for sewing! The alterations course teaches you how to alter clothes, a skill set I’m sure so many of us would love to have when something doesn’t quite fit right in the changing rooms! At the beginning of the course, I have to say I felt slightly overwhelmed with the thought of altering clothing myself. As Arlene talked us through each step, demonstrating along the way, I started to feel more and more confident. Even when I made mistakes, nothing was ever too much trouble and Arlene has so many tricks up her sleeve to ensure you get a perfect finish on your garments.
I came away from this course with a pair of trousers and a top which I both fitted and altered by myself, with supportive guidance from Arlene. I had so much confidence as the course progressed and this was down to the way the course is carefully structured and also Arlene’s patience, experienced tips and constant positivity.
Thank you Arlene, what a wonderful course full of so many sewing skills!”
“When I say I was a complete beginner, I mean a total beginner with absolutely no sewing experience! Sew informed ‘foundations’ is a fabulous course for anyone who is new to sewing. Arlene has jam packed this course with her abundance of sewing knowledge and teaches you how to set up and maintain your sewing machine. The handbook which comes with the course allows you to follow simple steps and is a great reference when you get home to your own machine. Throughout the course, Arlene’s passion and experience shone through and she offered lots of little helpful tips and tricks which I will definitely be taking to the sewing machine each time I sit down to sew. She is extremely patient and helpful and the fact that she had me, a complete newbie, sewing seams and zips with confidence, is testament to just how amazing she is at both performing and teaching her sewing skills!
Thank you Arlene, I had so much fun and am amazed at how much we got through in just 4 weeks! Bring on the ‘progressions’ course next!”
“The alterations course I did after the foundations course. It was great to have the basics before this course. We altered a top and a pair of trousers. My trousers are always too big at the waist so I was well chuffed with myself that I could take them in at the waist and they were actually wearable. A great buzz! It’s an intense course and Arlene is just fabulous, she knows her stuff and the crack was great too. Would so recommend this course.”
“The alterations course is brilliant…being short and on the larger size…none of my clothes fit properly..always have to take trousers up…and tops always have sleeves which are too long…or vest tops need shortened at the strap…this course has given me the skills to be able to complete these alterations with confidence at home and as always arlene’s knowledge, skills, tricks and patience are on point.”
“Have been wanting to be able to know my way around a sewing machine for years…this course is amazing…arlene takes the time to go through ever single step and makes sure you know what your at before going on to the next…in both around the machine and getting to know and do stitches, and completing tasks eg. Puttin in a zip etc…great course to do to understand what is needed to complete basic sewing tasks ….Arlene is so helpful and patient.”
