I can't comment on the product, because I haven't received any. This is what the website says about delivery (which is usually within 2-4 working days) "If you need your package any sooner, please get in touch and we'll happily provide a quote. " I needed some patterns within 5 days of ordering (3 working days), so I got in touch, only to be told that they weren't willing to spend one extra minute in the post office sending the parcel by next day delivery instead of standard post. This is really poor customer service.

The Free Motion Embroidery workshop was fun. Sophia is a cheerful, friendly and enthusiastic teacher and she made sure we all had a finished piece to take home with us. I would recommend this workshop for anybody thinking about trying out this form of machine embroidery.

I did the Pyjamas workshop and absolutely loved it! Zoe explained and demonstrated each stage really clearly, and helped us out with pinning and pressing whilst we were stitching. Can't recommend the book or the workshops highly enough, I'm already eyeing up what others I can go on!!

The make pyjamas workshop was fantastic. Zoe was friendly and patient with us all, finding out at the beginning what we all wanted to get out of the day. The studio is well equipt and the sewing machines are a joy to use, made me want to upgrade. I would definitely recommend it to others who are starting out.

The beginners class is a very productive yet relaxed workshop and the lovely Zoe made everyone feels comfortable. I loved it so much I'm going back!

I had a great time! Zoe was great, very knowledgeable (of course) and very helpful and easy to get on with. She was able to pitch her explanations and support to our different levels of understanding, and I especially felt that lots of light bulbs of realisation went off in my head! Definitely left with a brain full of info that I've already applied to making another couple of patterns. The sewing space is perfect - light, airy, and plenty of table space for everyone.

Enjoyable but a note of caution - I found my particular class quite basic. I think this was more to do with others in the class than the instructor - I guess T&TB customers tend to be more beginner level anyway so probably my fault for not predicting this. The nice thing about having small classes is that the instructor (Zoe) was able to answer all questions put to her, unfortunately this meant that it slowed the pace down a tad. For this reason I probably wouldn't book myself on another class there but would still recommend it for those new to sewing.

Very useful workshop, Zoe was great at explaining what we needed to know, with more detail if asked for. I have already made one top from the item I copied at the workshop (only 2 days ago) and am planning some other clothes using the same methods. Also lovely to spend time with other sewing enthusiasts.
