Colour and Cloth Ltd

I recently completed the 7-week sewing course at Colour and Cloth, mend and repair, led by the talented instructor Christine. Overall, it was a worthwhile experience that expanded my knowledge and skills in the world of sewing.Christine's expertise in mending and repairing textiles was evident from the start. She shared valuable insights on how to breathe new life into worn-out garments. Her passion for sustainable fashion and the importance of reducing waste resonated throughout the course.Christine's teaching style was clear and concise, making it easy to follow along and understand the intricacies of each method. She provided hands-on demonstrations and offered individualized guidance, ensuring that every participant felt supported and confident in their abilities.The small class size allowed for a collaborative and supportive environment. Sharing ideas and learning from fellow participants added an extra layer of inspiration and motivation. Christine fostered a sense of camaraderie among us, creating a space where we felt comfortable asking questions and seeking feedback from one another.I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in mending and repairing textiles while embracing their creativity.

Having found Colour & Cloth online, Christine directed me to Brian who kindly overhauled and serviced my lovely treasure of a find: (a beautiful hand crank sewing machine Sylvia" made by Harrods) and traced the model number back to 1876. The quick turnaround on servicing and knowledge of machines is impressive in itself and Brian's joy on seeing such a machine was obvious.By way of a one to one lesson

Just finished my third class with Christine at Colour and Cloth. I have learned new skills and techniques and my confidence has grown. Great atmosphere and fun. Can’t wait for the next one.

I have attended the Intermediate sewing course with Christine and have learnt so much. I am a self taught sewer and had a lot of bad habits. Christine is such a brilliant teacher she brings the best out of each of us. She is patient and encourages each of us to stretch ourselves but more than that guiding us along the way with her wealth of experience. I thoroughly recommend completing a sewing course with Christine that’s why I’ve signed up for another one!

I’ve been attending Christine’s intermediate sewing class and I can’t believe what I’ve achieved (with Christine’s help!). Her workroom has fantastic resources for inspiration or technical help - I’ve never seen that in other sewing classes I have attended. Christine also works hard to make sure everyone in the class gets the support they need, when they need it. Can’t recommend her highly enough!

Just completed the beginner courses at Colour and Cloth. Christine is so patient and encouraging. Looking forward to signing up for the intermediate course in the New Year.

I have attended Christine’s 7 week sewing classes x2 , restyle mend and alter your clothes and I am currently doing beginner dress making and sewing . They are excellent classes and I learned and am currently learning a lot from Christine , she is an excellent teacher and I would highly recommend learning to sew with Christine.

I ver much enjoyed my classes with Christine! She's very knowledgeable and able to adapt things when I had problems with my pattern. The small group in the class were a lovely, friendly group of people. I'd thoroughly recommend!

I just finished the 7 week beginner's course after a 10 year hiatus from sewing. I absolutely loved it, the classes are intensive but every week from when I entered until when I left Christine's studio it was like entering a time warp! 3 hours felt like 20 minutes as I learnt so many practical sewing skills. Christine is such an inspirational person with her creative projects and she absolutely reignited my love for sewing with her excellent teaching skills, creativity, patience and encouragement. Thank you Christine!

Would you like to learn to make clothes that fit you? If so come to Christine's classes which are small, allowing lots of individual help and support. This winter I went to beginners and then intermediate classes and made skirts, a dress and a top. I hope to complete a dressing gown before next classes start in September. I have learned to follow and adjust patterns as well as making a pattern from an old garment. Christine has endless patience and is an excellent teacher, giving us confidence and encouraging us to use our own ideas (unless they won't work). Perhaps I'll meet you at class in September.
