Children at Olveston Primary School

The Create and Grow sewing club has been well attended by children at Olveston Primary School. They have thoroughly enjoyed learning new skills and we have been thrilled with the progress they have made with sewing skills. Mandy teaches the children in a fun and supportive way and the children are eager to find out what they will be learning the following week! Not only has their confidence grown in sewing abilities, but the group dynamics were extremely positive, with all children feeling proud of their achievements. We would thoroughly recommend Mandy and the Create and Grow after school sewing club.
