"A lovely day course. Expert tuition in a relaxed, friendly manner. Perfect for absolute beginners or more experienced sewers who'd like to learn new skills. Advice was given with a very personal touch, specific to my project. The kind of place you can go regularly or whenever you need direction or support on a tricky project. Really enjoyable day! "

Amy W reviewed: Dressmaking with Kirstie Combe at The Viking Loom Ltd York

"I really enjoyed this day course at Viking Loom. Kirsty was very knowledgeable and was able to help everyone in the group who varied greatly in skill. I came wanting to learn how to use a pattern and having lost a bit of enthusiasm for sewing. I left with the drive and confidence I needed to finish my first pair of trousers! Thanks so much :)"

The Viking Loom Ltd responded:

"Oh Amy . thanks so much for coming and getting stuck in . Look forward to seeing you wearing those trousers . Good luck with your future projects and will keep you in loop about our future classes . "

"Had a wonderful day. Kirstie and Romy are both extremely welcoming and helpful. Although I have made some garments in the past, I picked up loads of additional tips on how to alter patterns to create a better fit and hints on how to achieve a more professional finish to the garment. I will definitely be back"

The Viking Loom Ltd responded:

"Hi kathleen . thanks so much for coming and throwing yourself in so wholeheartedly . glad you picked up plenty and look forward to seeing you in the lovely dress . best regards romy ."

"Back again! This time to make a toile. I am making a jacket which I have put off for years after having some doubts about my abilities. Here was the opportunity to really learn a few new things. However, a great deal of time and patience was required of the tutor. I certainly got that in spades. Anyway, I've been guided along and now feel yes, I think this is actually going to work out. I will definitely be back if only to get help with the pockets!"

The Viking Loom Ltd responded:

"hi Moya . delighted you are feeling positive now about your project . it is certainly shaping up well . i have ordered a paper shade card for the maraflex gutermann threads so will ring when here . i have found some 25mm pink plastic toggles to order if you are stuck . best regards romy ."

Moya Fitzpatrick reviewed: Dressmaking with Kirstie Combe at The Viking Loom Ltd York

"A really good positive experience. Working alone has its difficulties when worried about the actual pattern, what sort of interfacing is needed, where to alter the darts, will this material suit the pattern, body shape etc. These queries can be answered here as you go along, so you can correct, alter and complete without throwing the garment in the corner! Plus, lets face it, its nice to have confirmation of 'so I was right then?' Wow! I have booked another course. "

The Viking Loom Ltd responded:

"Thanks so much for yor review Moya. it is so helpful to us. really look forward to seeing you 30th jan . best regards romy"
