"A very well paced creative day. Dionne is an excellent teacher, her demonstrations are always well thought through, clearly explained and excellent teaching aids to developing your own skills and ideas. She provides a stimulating level of challenge and yet all learning is well supported. She successfully inspired our whole class and we all left with new learning and an appetite to develop our creativity." Margaret Winter

I’ll provide all the fabric and materials that you need but if you wish to bring along some of your ‘stash’ thats fine too!....the key thing is to arrive with enthusiasm and a smile!!!

"Had a really fabulous day. Dionne is a really good teacher. She tells you what you need to do then demonstrates it. She is on hand to help but you have freedom to interpret the task in hand in your own way, ensuring that everyone produces a very different version of the same thing. You don’t need to be able to ‘sew’, just be ready to create. This day is a good beginning to the art of appliqué and free embroidery, the two complementing each other beautifully. Get ready to start an addiction." Kath Thorley
