Hi Sue,

Since I learnt how to read the paper dressmaking pattern with you, I have gradually learnt so much more by trying out other styles.

 

I know we were all worried as they seemed to be in a different language, but you helped us to understand it all & I can make so much now. Thanks for showing me the buttonhole gadget on my machine - I had NO idea I had one!

 

Thanks for 10 great days over the year.

Sarah, Cambridge
