What our customers say . . .

After years of wishing I could sew I decided to make a change by attending the Beginners Sewing Course. I LOVED IT. I experienced many mistakes but by having Maria, the expert tutor, on hand I learned loads. I ended up with a lovely Tote bag that looks snazzy. I experienced the joy that so many sewers talk about when they have sat down and produced an item from just a few scraps of material. Well worth giving it a go. I will make a few more items on my own sewing machine then sign up for another course soon.

Absolutely fantastic! I don’t usually leave reviews but after the amazing I experienced I felt I should. I was helped with a very helpful assistant during my initial phone conversation. I ordered a large selection of lovely bits and bobs late afternoon on a Thursday and received my parcel Friday morning! - I cant wait to get started on my new projects, thank you so very much everybody who delivered me such a wonderful experience.

My first time using Clothkits and I was blown away by the speed of delivery and the amazing quality of the items I bought.

My order was beautifully wrapped and a delightful personal message.

Highly recommended. Thank you again ✨

I love ordering from Clothkits.

Every package feels like a treat because it is so well presented, even when it was just darning wool! Such lovely things available too.

Clothkits are now a constant on my go-to list for presents for some members of the family. Sure to please.

Kit, as always arrived very rapidly. As usual 2 things missing my time and sewing machine, EVERYTHING else, including very clear instructions in the beautifully presented pack.

This is the 4th of the rag dolls I've made, the first being in the 1980s. They wash well and all have survived much love frome their playmates. Thank you for a fantastic rag doll.
