Testimonials
From May 2021:
Dear Anne,
I attended Karen's workshop for the Kimono style robe on the weekend:
Karen is such an awesome teacher, she is very patient and explains and demonstrates everything really well. It was so nice to come back from a dressmaking course happy and with a sense of achievement. I wish I'd had a dressmaking teacher like Karen previously and I would thoroughly recommend her to any future students.
I thanked Karen at the time but just wanted to pass on my feedback officially - I hope I get some free time to enrol in some more of Karen's courses.
Selwyn Community Education has such a great variety of classes, you should be very proud of your achievements.
Have a great day.
Regards MJR
