"Got this course as a gift from my boyfriend and I absolutely love my new bag! Amanda is a great teacher and really took the time to explain the process and guide us from start to finish. Set in a beautiful workshop space, we had access to all the tools we needed. Thank you again Amanda and team for this wonderful experience. Will 100% recommend to friends!"

"As a lover of luxury handbags, I treated myself to this course to celebrate a milestone birthday and I am so happy that I did! Amanda and Kate were extremely kind and knowledgeable, creating a fun and welcoming environment! They were also incredibly patient with me as I had zero sewing experience. I was made to feel so special by the team and other participants on my birthday and left with a gorgeous bag that has already received so many compliments. It is such a well thought out workshop and I felt so empowered leaving with a stylish and functional bag I created myself! I would 100000000% recommend this course for bag lovers or someone interested in learning a new skill in a friendly and supportive environment!"

"I had an amazing time learning to make bags with Amanda and Kate! The whole process was really smooth, from picking the materials to making the bag itself. I couldn't be happier with how the bag turned out and have been getting loads of compliments! The workshop is a lovely and calm environment. Amanda was a fantastic instructor and always happy to help and answer my questions. I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in making bags!"
Catherine
"I really enjoyed this one-day bag making class! It’s really beginner friendly and all the bag pieces are pre-cut before you arrive which makes it really easy to get started. I hadn’t sewn in ages but ended up with a bag I absolutely love! Kate and Amanda were both so nice and great at teaching. I’d definitely recommend this class if you’re looking to try something creative and different!"
