Testimonial for StephieAnn Workshops

“I hadn’t done much embroidery before but I loved the sound of Stephie’s workshop to create my own personalised socks! Stephie was so patient and shared her tips and tricks with us in an easy to follow way. I’m amazed at how well my socks turned out given I had practically no experience! If you’re looking for a relaxed workshop where you leave with a new skill, I couldn’t recommend it more, thank you Stephie!” Shelley, 11th August 2023.
