I look forward to my sewing classes each week. Olga is kind and caring and encourages us at every step, I learn so much from her. All you need for your creations is provided in the first class.
I have learned to make cushion covers, aprons, skirts, tops, dresses, trousers and am now making classic Peter Alexander style pj’s complete with piping!
These classes have given me confidence to make my own clothes from patterns at home and skills I have learnt have allowed me to fit my own clothes to myself better. I also have confidence using a sewing machine and overlocker.

Loved, loved my experience at Studio Thimbles, Beginners Sewing Course Level one. Being very much a novice, Olga gave me the confidence to use a sewing machine without “kangarooing” too much!! And Olga’s practical advice with buying a sewing machine gave me the confidence to buy my own which in itself can be very overwhelming. Olga’s hacks and tips just made learning to sew simple and easy and being in a small group gave Olga more time to help with the frequent questions!
Thanks Olga!

It’s great! Highly recommended for anyone interested in sewing. The classes are really well structured, so you’re not only learning new things, but also reinforcing your existing knowledge, and you end up with your own awesome creations at the end of it. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed completing the first level, and looking forward to the next one 🙂

My daughter had the most wonderful day learning to sew with Olga! She said they were having so much fun the day flew by and they didn’t want to stop for lunch, just keep sewing! Olga’s patience and enthusiasm inspired her so much she is now sewing at home and her new skills and confidence means she is successfully making things on her own. Thank you, we will definitely be back!

Olga and Daniela are patient and knowledgeable sewing teachers to help first time sewers to gain confidence with a sewing machine. The classes are well planned and offered in small group sizes allowing one on one instruction and guidance. I learned so much from the beginner class, now I have 4 projects in fun fabric as well the basics to continue sewing.

Thank you so much Olga for the wonderful 1:1 session with my 9 year old son Lee. He has honestly been so proud of himself having made his own pillow case & absolutely loved the whole process. You were patient, kind, and shared your passion for sewing perfectly! Needless to say my son has put his new pillow case to immediate use and is telling everyone about how he made it himself! Thank you again x
