COURSE LESSONS

Brilliant Course

This was a great entry into sewing for me. The button fell off my favourite jacket and I've been putting off fixing it. However, Holly clearly explains how to do it, step by step, and I was able to follow along and fix it myself.

This video was a lifesaver! I needed to sew a button back onto my shirt, and this tutorial made it a breeze.
