Testimonials

Many thanks for the very prompt and efficient delivery of my recent order for 8m of Makower Spectrum Claret fabric. I have been searching everywhere for this colour but no-one else seemed to have sufficient in stock. I am delighted with my goods – and with your service. Thank you very much once again. Best wishes, Pam

Thank you for my recent order of 2 metres of lilac stretch denim. The fabric is of high quality and very substantial. The colour is vibrant and does not bleed when washed nor did it shrink. Stretch is minimal (which is great for me). Would recommend the fabric and the company. Thank You I will also be posting a review on The Sewing Place forum recommending you to others. Many thanks Janet Shaw

Just wanted to say a big thank you for such a fun afternoon. I learnt such a lot and managed to produce something that quite surprised me given my total lack of artistic ability! You made it fun and were so very encouraging to us all

Hi Gilly – Thank you for a wonderful evening last night making the Christmas placemats. I really enjoyed the evening you are such a lovely lady and so helpful and patient. I really enjoyed the company of the other ladies.

Hi Gilly, hope you’re having a good day. Just want to pass on our thanks for last nights course, both John and I found it very enjoyable. Your workshop and teaching are very good, and you definitely have some beautiful fabrics. We’re both looking forward to next week. Thanks again.

Gilly is great, helpful and has a lot of knowledge and patience. Check out her workshops.

Dear Gilly I would like to thank you for a most enjoyable and inspiring session (Tilly & The Buttons Denim Dungaree Dress Sewing Class). I look forward to booking another course with you in the future.

Thank you Gilly I just loved the sewing cafe last night 😊 everyone was so friendly and put me at ease and as always you were lovely! All I have wanted to do today is sew! Thank you so much xxxxx

Excellent service, thank you, lovely fabric

Perfect. Thank You.

Great item and great service. Many thanks!

Gorgeous fabric, great service and definitely recommended!

I went to GillyBee’s shop in Brundall for a sewing workshop. The workshop was run by two lovely ladies who are both very talented at sewing. I went along with 5 other children aged between 7 and 12 Using a needle and a sewing machine, I made a 5 flagged bunting out of fabric. It was an extremely exciting afternoon and I felt incredibly proud of myself and the bunting that I had made. As a result, I signed up for another course which is coming up soon which I am really looking forward to.

I just wanted to say that my friend and I enjoyed our Saturday sessions with you so much. We do plan to get together and book in some more so looking forward to the summer and can start looking at summery prints. Keep up the fantastic work and hope to see you and the lovely ladies in our workshop again soon.

I am very pleased with the curtains you made for me, and thought that you would like some photos of them. Those of my friends who have seen them have been favourably impressed with them, and the quality of your work. Thank you once again.

I LOVE my curtains, thank you so much. They hang so nicely and the quality of them is wonderful, thanks so much for your hard work!

Thanks for a great beginners course Gilly. Hubbie’s comment when I got home with my finished skirt was ‘wow it doesn’t look homemade!’ I’m taking it as a compliment!

Gilly has done an awesome job making us two sets of curtains. They are absolutely fantastic everyone who comes to visit mentions how fab they are. Thank you very much.

Thank you so much for sending me the fabric I ordered so promptly, so pleased with it.

Hi Gilly, thank you so much for the beautiful dresser, you have made it into a stunner, I love it and so many thanks to you and your husband for bringing it round in the freezing cold.

Great course for beginners. It definitely helped me to gain the confidence to try and make items at home. And it’s great to know Gilly is always there to offer help and advice.

I would recommend Gilly’s workshops to anyone, she puts everyone at ease and is a really good teacher. I really enjoyed the course and will be doing more with her.

I thoroughly enjoyed this beginners sewing course. I have learnt sewing techniques that will carry me through my sewing journey. I met some nice people as well.

I thoroughly enjoyed the course – Gilly was so patient and explained everything really well. The skirt I made turned out beautifully and I definitely feel like I could manage one on my own now!
