Why us?
"This place is Essex's best kept secret. There is so much to choose from, and so reasonably priced. I wish I could come every day"
"I had so much fun... I wasn't expecting to leave with something I absolutely love"
"I love Laura's sewing lessons, her professional fitting makes so much difference to garments and there is always a relaxed atmosphere"
"I've learnt so much in such a small amount of time. I didn't dream I would be making my own clothes. Now I can proudly say I made this"
"You don't know how good you are"
"You've helped me so much with my mental health, I now come to meet new people, to chat, to create and to take me away from all the stress and anxiety I was feeling. It's helped me get out and about. The space you have created is so friendly, relaxed and bright. I love it, everyone should try it"
