Please do look at my wonderful testimonials:

"I'm glad I got the course, COVID had me withdrawing in again. It has been a pleasure to gather up a couple of tins and sort through my sewing threads and fabrics. I feel like it is a treasure that requires time, so I'm not in a hurry, just savouring each part!"

"So much joy and so many wonderful things to learn! and I keep coming back to it! Thank you so much Yvonne for all it will bring to me"
