COURSE LESSONS

Useful Course

This is a really useful course for anyone wanting to fix all the items in their wardrobe that need a quick fix. The course is easy to follow and I can now wear my trousers without standing on them!

Natasha Banks

Recommend For Beginners

I would recommend this course to everyone. Holly explains how to take up the trousers in a really easy to follow way. I loved learning how I can do this myself instead of paying a tailor.

Cris Reid

Lifesaver

Due to being petite, I often have to buy trousers that don't fit me. This course has really saved me as it has allowed me to wear many pieces I otherwise would have to pay lots of money to get altered.
