Maria did such a wonderful job making a silk top and pleated pants for me! I had a wedding to attend and my timeframe was pretty tight. She completed the job with no fuss. The craftmanship and quality was outstanding. She was great to work with from start to finish. I highly recommend her to anyone wanting high quality custom made clothing.

The skirt block class I attended recently with Maria French was outstanding.
Her knowledge and skill at her craft were on full display, which was
just so interesting and helpful. I am rather a curvy girl and have long struggled to
find clothes that look well tailored. I learned that curves are no barrier to getting a good
fit, and with a block all done for me, I can be assured that my next sewing projects
will be elevated from where they are now and I have new confidence to try more
complicated designs than before. Thank you very much Maria - I will be back
for the bodice block course!

Thank you very much for the class yesterday.
I was thrilled that we were able to finish the coat.
I am also so thrilled with how it has turned out and looking forward to it being my go to this winter.
Thank you for your guidance and patience

Hi Maria, well I drafted an A-line skirt pattern over the weekend, cut the material and managed to sew the shell of the skirt. All that is left for me to do is to put in the zip, put on the waistband and sew the hem. So far, the fitting looks really good (I am so happy).

Maria is a lovely and supportive teacher. We covered such a lot in the skirt block class and I have come away much more confident about my sewing projects.
