    Testimonials

    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 May 2021
