"An excellent course in a friendly environment. Anne is very patient and helpful and spread her time between 3 of us equally, demonstrating techniques on our different projects. Anne is more than happy to answer any questions you may have. I thoroughly enjoyed my day and ‘afternoon tea’ is also very good. You will be made to feel welcome and I’m sure thrilled with your project and the knowledge on leaving. I know I am."

Kryss Macleod reviewed: Upholster a chair seat or drop in top for a stool

"Really enjoyed this class. Anne is an excellent teacher, and we had an absolutely delightful day. Nothing phased Anne, even my very ambitious choice of chair!! She was very patient and helpful throughout. Brilliant company and a wonderful lunch. Highly recommended this if you would like to learn to upholster, or have a piece of furniture you want to give new life to, or also just a really lovely and productive way to spend a day. I would definitely book again."

The Little Vintage House responded:

"Thank you for your lovely review, it was great to meet you on Saturday and a most enjoyable afternoon. You did extremely well on a difficult project, and to get it to the standard you achieved in such a short time was a credit to you. I hope you have many more hours fun upholstering chairs. Best wishes, Anne"

Charlotte reviewed: Upholster a chair seat or drop in top for a stool

"What a lovely way to spend a Saturday! As a complete novice, I was worried about what kind of result I would have upholstering my first chair but Anne put me completely at my ease. She is extremely knowledgable and patient and took me through each phase at my own pace. I left with a chair that I am very proud of and the confidence to tackle upholstery again - thank you Anne! The afternoon tea at Mrs Lyons tea room is also lovely!"

The Little Vintage House responded:

"Thank you for a lovely review. It was great to meet you yesterday and I loved your transformation from a seagrass seat to a fully upholstered one, in your beautiful vintage Laura Ashley fabric. Good luck with all your future projects. Best wishes Anne"

JEANETTE ESKDALE reviewed: Upholster a chair seat or drop in top for a stool

Carol reviewed: Upholster a chair seat or drop in top for a stool

"I attended this course with my two daughters & we had such a lovely day with Anne! Anne is a very experienced upholsterer who shares her knowledge & experience in a warm, friendly & positive way. The course was informative, professional & fun! The added bonus of having an ‘afternoon tea’ lunch included was a very welcome touch. Anne is a very encouraging tutor & it felt like enjoying a day with a lovely new friend whilst learning a new skill. The small group size meant we all got individual tuition, which was invaluable. I would definitely recommend this reasonably priced course to anyone wanting to learn the basic skills of upholstery, or to enhance their existing skills. Fab to go home with a new chair too! Thanks again Anne - we will return!"

The Little Vintage House responded:

"Thank you for taking the time to review today's workshop, and for your lovely comments. It was a pleasure to pass on my knowledge to you all and to spend the time with you today. I hope that you have many happy hours upholstering some more pieces of furniture in the future :)"
