The Adult Thrive Club is exactly as described on the website - hands-on and fun-packed. I always wanted to learn how to use a sewing machine but for some reason I never did although my mum and my granny both could brilliantly sew. Wonderful Astrid gave me a great introduction and was very helpful throughout the session. The upbeat and friendly environment was inspiring from the very first moment, so that I can't wait for my second session to come.

I have never sewed before, but after taking it up in Lockdown, I went on the hunt to find a class that would best suit me; I can say, without a shadow of a doubt, that Astrid's class is hands down the exact thing I was looking for. Astrid is kind, and patient, but knows how to talk to adults without making them feel like children. I have learnt and picked up techniques that I never thought possible! I have now encouraged my wife to come along!
