I've just completed a 6 week beginners course with Christine in Colour and Cloth. I had never used a sewing machine before booking the course and was nervous going into it but Christine put me at ease from the very beginning. The course was really enjoyable and the 6 weeks flew in, I learned so much during my time and made a lovely skirt for myself. I would definitely recommend Colour and Cloth to anyone interested in sewing. Christine's knowledge was invaluable and I will definitely be booking another course.

Left two sewing machines in with Brian for repair/servicing. His knowledge and attention to detail was very reassuring. Both machines are now working perfectly. I would thoroughly recommend.

What lovely people to deal with. I left in my sewing machine to be serviced. My machine is an older singer model. Im so happy that Brian was able to do a good job servcing it and sort out its problems within the mechanism. Also lots of great advice. Great job. Thank you. Very happy

Contacted Brian to book in my Pfaff machine for repair. He got back to me almost immediately and had it fixed within 48 hours. An excellent job and customer service. Brian and Christine are such a lovely couple and it was a pleasure to meet them. I'll definitely use the service again.

This was such a wonderful experience! The skills and knowledge I have taken away will propel any future creations immensely. I’ll never look at the Sewing Bee in the same light! I honestly believe these are life skills, honed and taught in the most easily understood way by Christine… such an honestly beautiful person who truly has the patience of a saint. These past 6 weeks will stay with me a lifetime… tho I do hope to complete another course at some stage again. Highly recommend to anyone with no or a lot of sewing skill or knowledge. You will thoroughly love it! Fabulous!!! Also had my sewing machine given the once over… cleaned and serviced… by Brian - again, highly recommend! My sewing machine now runs so smoothly, with an excellent timely turnaround. Thank you both of you!

I had such a lovely time with Christine. She helped me on a mission to adjust and repair jeans I had been looking to have fixed for a long time. Christine's advice was incredible and I went home and completed the adjustments. I also bought a fabulous sewing machine which has been brilliant

I recently completed a 6 week programme with Christine in Colour and Cloth. I learnt so many skills that I thought I would not have been capable of. Christine is highly skilled and professional in all things sewing. She is very patient and takes time with all her students. I really enjoyed the classes. I would highly recommend Colour and Cloth to anyone who wants to learn sewing. Christine is the best there is in this industry. Tracey Power.

Just finished the Deginners Sewing course with Christine at Colour &Cloth and I have to say, it was a great experience. A small cosy class and fantastic hands-on instruction for everyone...have already signed up for the Intermediate course.
