The most fun weekend I’ve had in forever! I’ve never been with a group that I enjoyed more and learned more! Catherine is the best teacher ever, very creative and very patient.

We had the best time! Catherine planned and planned and it was amazing! I know she must have been so tired at the end of each day as her energy and attention to each of us never ending. A rich adventure that I hope to experience again! Get your friends together and do this in your own hometown. 😊

Such a wonderful weekend! I not only had fun and made lots of new friends but learned how to let go and let my creativity flourish. It was great to see the alterations that everyone else made and got lots more tips. Thanks Catherine for your help and patience! Can’t wait for more of your retreats - especially your hosting the Italy trip! You rock!

This sewing retreat with Catherine fulfilled all my expectations and more. The enjoyment of being with this engaging group of ladies who love sewing, thrifting, and learning from Catherine's talents was pure magical. Thank you Catherine for all the "extras". I'll cherish my bag you made for each of us. The planning and preparation was very well thought out. Thank you ❤

I had such a great time! I learned so many new techniques and was so motivated that I went home, finished my shirt and upcycled three more garments and am finishing up my 4th. The kindness and joy that you radiate in your videos is 100-fold in real life. Thank you Catherine for hosting such a marvelous event. And thank you for introducing me to my new sewing friends!!
