My daughter and I took a five day - 2hr each day course with Sue Murphy over the holidays. We were both new to dressmaking and hadn't sewn at all although i do own my own machine. Our 2 hours each day were fantastic. We were lucky to have Sue to ourselves and she helped us through the beginning stages of understanding how to use a machine and read a pattern. By the end of the week we had both sewn a skirt and a top and were extremely happy with the results. Sue was patient and informative throughout. My daughter has taken to dressmaking like a 'duck to water' and most weekends completes a new project. We were thrilled with our experience and would not hesitate to recommend Sue to anyone interested in learning or extending their dressmaking skills.
