Hi Alison
I would like to say that I thought your course was super, I have recommended it and will continue to recommend it to other people who want chickens. It was very informative and made me feel more confident in handling the girls. In fact as soon as I got home I clipped the wings of 2 birds, with assistance from hubby also teaching him at the same time. I had to wait a day to catch the third one and clipped her wings by myself!
It was nice to have met you and if we go away you will be our first port of call for board and lodgings.
Have a good day.

Basic Sewing Machine Skills £45
Brush up on your lapsed sewing machine skills (not touched a machine since you left school?) or learn a new skill which will enable you to do your own repairs or go on to make your own clothes!
The course is limited to a maximium of 2 as you will be given one-to-one tuition on how to wind a bobbin and thread the machine. You will be shown basic stiches and do some exercises to help you keep good control of guiding the fabric through the machine whilst controling the speed with the foot pedal.
Once you have mastered that you will make a useful apron to take home with you! All in all a very good way to spend a few hours.
The course lasts about 2 hours and the apron is included in the cost.
