Tuition
Had the most amazing day learning smocking in a warm friendly atmosphere. I would recommend this for anyone wishing to learn smocking.

Brilliant Day - learned so much!
This was a departure for Christine I think as I am a ‘self (mum) taught’ smocker who needed advice and tuition to improve my work. We had a lovely day and I’m so very proud of the progress I made. I learned so much technical detail which will help my smocking techniques - I have improved beyond comparison! Christine was supportive and let me work at my own pace. I cannot recommend her courses too highly. Brilliant for beginners and improvers alike! Thanks so much. Rebecca, that is so kind and thank you :-)

a great pleasure
From the moment I arrived I felt extremely welcome. The course was fantastic in every way. I learnt so much and would recommend it to beginners and experienced sewers alike as Christine tailored the course to my needs. Thank you so much Veronica, it was a pleasure to teach you and I look forward to seeing your finished work. Christine

BEGINNERS HAND SMOCKING
My husband surprised me with this wonderful present! What a lovely day I had! Christine was so helpful, her instructions were perfect for a newbie like me! I came away with lots of hints and tips to keep me going at home. I shall certainly be back for more classes, it was just so enjoyable! I'm looking forward to spending my evenings tucked up stitching away!

Fantastic day.
Absolutely superb class. Learned so much from Chris, who is an excellent teacher. Not only did I learn stitches but also pleating and lots of little tips and tricks that you can't learn from a book. Highly recommend this class I have a new hobby for life now.
