I attended a Beginners sewing workshop with Magda last weekend, courtesy of my boyfriend's Mum. I started the course with very little knowledge, and left feeling confident to not only use my machine but be able to make alterations to my clothes. Magda explained everything in simple terms that were easy to understand and the activities that we did in the class gave me experience of various sewing techniques, which was very helpful. She also gave lots of tips and tricks with machine troubleshooting etc that were super useful. I would recommend the class to any other beginners that are looking to start learning how to sew 🙂 Thanks Magda!

I have done 2 of Magdas courses and thoroughly enjoyed them both. Informative and fun - I’m now ready to get on with my sewing projects. Highly recommend even if you’re a complete beginner as Magda is very supportive.

Magda turned some old curtains into two beautiful Roman blinds for us with plenty material left over for a window seat. She is so lovely and we are absolutely delighted with the quality of her work. Would definitely recommend her. ❤️

Really great! I did a 1-1 workshop with Magda as a complete beginner. She was a really lovely and friendly teacher. Patient even with my wonky lines and I came away with a cute bag! Definitely recommend

I can thoroughly recommend Sewansome. Magda turned up the hem on a jumpsuit for me at short notice, it’s the perfect length now and so neatly done. I will definitely be using Sewansome again.
