    Melissa Walker is such a fantastic teacher. She is incredibly knowledgeable about all things sewing, she's funny, and she made the classes a joy to come to each week.

    The teacher was very knowledgeable and explained the concepts very clearly. She was patient, funny and told many interesting stories. I think if I bought my own sewing machine I would know how to start using it right away.

    the course was really useful and well organized. The teacher, Ashley Trutanich, was amazing, both as a professional and a human being. She was very clear in explaining everything and always ready to help us, answering all our questions and showing us things as many times as we needed. The only downside was the duration. 2 hours didn't feel enough, 3 would have been perfect. I shared this thought with the other attendants and they agreed. When we moved to practice what Ashley was teaching us, we found ourselves in a rush. So basically we wanted more ^^

    Sewing Made Easy was a great class. I have some experience with quilting, yet the class presented and reinforced basic sewing skills like basting, running stitch, and backstitch. I learned new stitches for hemming and mending. So the class strengthened and expanded my basic skills. Ashley was excellent about checking in with us to see where we were in terms of pace and if we needed to see something again. The class supplied sewing machines and I was impressed with how a person could show up and really get a good start--and also make a pillow in two classes! That was amazing. Every student had a lovely finished pillow at the end of the last class. Now I'm working on my own pillow project that is more complicated and Sewing Made Easy serves as a source of inspiration.

    Great class. Just the refresher I needed. The instructor was great and met everyone where they were in their sewing journey. Highly recommended whether you are just starting out or just needed a reminder of sewing fundamentals.

    Anonymous review on 9/9/2019
    Though overall I enjoyed the class, I felt the instructor was not a particularly great listener and often gave answers that were not germane to the questions asked. Things often felt chaotic, and because she did not lead the class in an orderly or assertive manner, it was difficult to know what was expected. Also, there were often unnecessary intrusions by the instructor's husband.

    The teacher was nice but did not explain things very clearly. I was confused most of the time and it seemed my classmates were too.

    My only complaint is that the class took place in an open space next to counseling offices. People would often walk thru speaking loudly or have lengthy conversations in the back of the room.

    Instructor would ask us for homework that she didn't ask us to do. She would mix us up with her earlier class and think she showed us something when she had not. Didn't come close to finishing the project. There was one student out of the whole class that actually finished the project.

    I learned a lot about how to use my sewing machine and the basics of sewing in this class taught by Rosy. The project was to sew a little girl's dress, and I loved that it was somewhat challenging because, as I mentioned, I learned a lot more than I expected since I have very little experience sewing. I recommend taking this class for beginners.

    Great class for beginners who are just learning to sew and want to learn the basics. The class was small, about 9 students, and our project was to complete a child's dress. Each class we worked on a different section of the dress and learned different industry standard tips and tricks.
