Jody Gray Upholstery School reviews

Sarah reviewed: Box cushion workshop

"We drove down from Edinburgh to attend Jody's box cushion class. Jody was welcoming, very easy to be with, and is a great, patient teacher. The premises are bright and airy and the fabric shop has a great selection of material, if you turn up needing some (like we did). We learned so much. Jody has provided us with the confidence to come home and make more. We are so pleased with our cushions that we've planned to get together soon to make some more. Jody offers many other classes, and we'd def make the trip down again to attend something different. We absolutely feel we got great vale for money, and we've already recommended the class to our Airbnb host. "

Jody Gray Upholstery School responded:

"Dear Sarah and Ruth, thank you so much for your lovely review. I am so pleased you enjoyed the class and you both did an amazing job on your cushions! Kind regards Jody "

Helen Slack reviewed: Cushion Masterclass

"Did the cushion masterclass and thoroughly enjoyed it. I purchased fabric from Jodie’s shop which was lovely too. Great class and now feel a lot more confident to pick up my love of sewing. Will be looking to do another course shortly at the lovely little set up of Jody Gray."

Fabric shop on site really good. Small group working on different projects at different stages so get to see what is possible and some different ideas.

"Loved it! Have been twice now to re-cover a large, old sewing box on my legs. I was a complete novice, never done anything like this before and have come away with a fantastic piece which I will be giving as a gift to a special friend. The advice and guidance was excellent - I have bought gift vouchers as gifts for family. Will definitely be returning!"
