I recently completed the When Poppy Met Daisy dressmaking course and absolutely loved it. Lorna is such a brilliant instructor — knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly practical in how she teaches. Everything is explained clearly, step by step, with real hands-on guidance rather than just theory. The course is very well structured and suitable whether you’re a beginner or looking to build confidence and skills. Lorna creates a relaxed, encouraging environment and is always happy to answer questions and help you troubleshoot as you go. I came away feeling genuinely confident and inspired to keep sewing. I’d highly recommend this course to anyone interested in dressmaking — a great experience from start to finish.

What a brilliant course. I went to the pattern and drafting class for the two days at When Poppy met Daisy and I can honestly say it was brilliant. Lorna was so welcoming and encouraging and explained everything in great detail. I have learned so much and would highly recommend the course if you want improve your knowledge of dressmaking. Thank you Lorna

This the best thing I’ve done all year! I decided to do a sewing class as it was a life skill early this year as it was a skill I wanted to have. After researching, I choose When Poppy met Daisy because of the reviews here. I did the one day intensive class to learn how to sew and after enjoying it so much Im now on my second Dress making course, en route to making my wedding ceremony dress ☺️ It was the perfect way to put the skills into practice. Lorna is so nice & so patient and she cares so much. She is a brilliant teacher and also great craic, which helps 🤣 The time FLIES by & honestly the wholesome vibes with Lorna are the best. If you’re looking to learn to sew or perfect your skills, this is 1000% your place to go to ☺️
