It's all there.

But it's so achievable.

Like, you know, and that's what I'm always saying to people.

Even if you just come and get the basics right, the fundamentals with somebody, you know, especially in a class setting where it's all laid out for you, then it's easier for you to go on to the likes of TikTok and Instagram and follow videos that are there.

Usually what happens with people is they aim a little bit too high at the start.

then they get a bit, you know, things don't go their way.

So they kind of put the sewing machine back in the press and they don't want to take it out again.

Yeah, exactly.

Yeah.

So like once they learn how to like tread the machine and do the bobbin and do any troubleshooting that might happen, then they're like, oh my God, like even people who were with me yesterday who've done a bit of sewing, they're like,

And it's the small things that I learned today, like they're actually the most valuable, like not necessarily the end product that they made.

It was more that little, you know, setting up and stuff that that will be, that was what was challenging them, say, when they were trying to do stuff at home.

Yeah, like the odd time I do hand sewing retreats and things like that, we do a little bit of hand sewing in school, but predominantly we're on the sewing machine.

Yeah.

You know, like, you know, yesterday, just as an example, because I had people with me this weekend, we had somebody who just had a baby.

It was her first day away.

Now the baby is a good few months old, but it was her first day away from, you know, her young kids.

And she just absolutely loved it.

The peace.

Yeah.
