Worth every penny! From zero to hero skirt making lesson with a friend. Rachel was able to give us her expert advice and also offered tips on how I was using my own machine which meant that my thread didn’t break for the full length of the course. We wore our skirts the very next day. Thank you Rachel I have already purchased material to make the next skirt.
