Sew Pretty Crafts

Katya kindly squeezed me in with short notice to help alter my wedding dress after my wedding had been postponed a couple of times. She altered the length and darts plus added an extra button and hook & eye to make the dress feel extra secure. All done on time and really happy with the final results, thank you!

Had an hour online one-to-one class. Although it was a short amount of time, the class was super useful! Katya was prepared and could guide me around my machine and accessories even from afar. She shared a lot of advice and approaches. A great one off gift for a sewing beginner and I'd definitely be interested in further classes.

Amazing 4 weeks on the Sew Complete course. I progressed from not being able to navigate a sewing machine to being able to make a cushion cover, skirt, and I have even begun making clothing for my dog to keep her warm. I also met some lovely ladies and it became a lovely Wednesday evening activity which I'll miss! Thank you Sophie and Katya for your guidance and I'll be getting some classes in the diary to continue progressing my sewing skills!

My daughter attended the kids sewing club today and she has not stopped talking about it since the second I picked her up. She had the best day, made three sewing projects and is absolutely thrilled with herself! I bought this as her birthday present and I’m so glad I did! Thank you so much for helping me give her the best gift!

I was given a sewing machine as a gift but was totally stuck on where to start with using it, so I signed up on a whim for a month of beginner’s classes. Katya is a wonderful teacher and the class provides a great atmosphere to learn with a few others but few enough that you can always get 1:1 attention when you need it. Once I’d finished the first one, I immediately signed up for the intermediate class which I’m enjoying even more. I’d thoroughly recommend to anyone looking to get started

Signed up for the stretchy dress and enjoyed myself so much I went on to do the trousers then the channel jacket, which all came out great. Learning from Kataya is wonderful, she is so patient, but firm and really explains the whys and whatnots. This experience has inspired me and given me confidence, and you get to meet some lovely people and have a laugh too. Also had Sophie teach one lesson to cover for Kataya, who was also lovely and a good teacher. I love that the classes are small as it seems more one to one and we all learn at the same pace.

Katya is an amazing teacher. She tailored the class to my needs and covered all details of the blind making process in just 3h, explaining different types of finish and fabrics, which would work well for my particular project. I highly recommend Katya, and I truly enjoyed my time at her cozy sewing studio. Nice place to learn.

Katya was a fantastic teacher, the class was a lovely environment and we all helped each other to produce the most wonderful pjs. Feeling a lot more confident with my sewing, and going to continue to take Sew Pretty classes to upskill.

Pros: Very cute place, good location, nice project, knowledgeable teacher don’t recall her name it wasn’t katya but one of her other teachers, fun projects. I do recommend. Cons: Teacher didn’t schedule enough time for anyone to finish the project. She pressured me into a bigger size it’s too big & unwearable and to make shorts which I don’t wear & don’t like so I wasted the pricey fabric and there wasn’t enough left to make the pj pants I wanted. I sensed it would have not been received well if I had challenged her opinion. So it ended up being a waste of money. Conclusion: Overall I do recommend as my experience had good points because I did get a decent refresher course. My advice is to go for it, it’s fun, but trust your intuition on your size and what you want to make & not be pressured into something that you know isn’t right again, it wasn’t Katya.

Katya fitted my wedding dress and did an incredible job. This included securing/fixing beading, changing the cleavage, moving cups, shortening and taking in. Highly recommend!
