Customer Reviews
A friend and I bought a gift voucher for another friend. Our friend spent it the very next day! Spent at the Open House. Loved her Kimono.
She does intend to do a workshop next year with me and a couple of others.
Love all Sophie Darling creations!
I loved this workshop! I have a gorgeous cushion cover that I am very happy with. Sophie is very welcoming and a great teacher. Highly recommend!
A really fabulous workshop. It was great to do something totally different on a Sunday morning, and walk away with two amazing creations. Even more special to do it surrounded by Sophie’s beautiful work.
