What our students have to say
“I learnt much more than sewing” Hey! I’m Zuhaira, and our lessons at Silent Sewing Academy were never silent!From the random life advice Mrs A gave us to making connections with everyone in the class, as well as just silly and funny moments in general, I had a blast and learnt much more than sewing!!
Mrs A is an amazing passionate and patient teacher. Her teaching methods have given me the basic tools to complete a garment from basic pattern making to finishing with fitness. I would definitely recommend this course. 15 May 2022
