    Reviewed by Nancy a. on 9/15/2022
    It is my pleasure to assist you. First and foremost Emily is a brilliant instructor. This class will be enjoyable for anyone who has some background in sewing, pattern making, or the like. The reward is wonderful to know that you actually produced a pair of boots that you can wear out of the class and show off. My only suggestion would be a shopping trip with Emily to pick out your leather and other supplies. Not only would this be a fun outing (optional of course) but it would save the students a lot of time and money. Leather is very expensive so if you go with an expert she can recommend the proper leather to buy. Another fun part of the outing would be a chance to meet your teammates in a relaxed setting. I would highly recommend this class and am free if anyone has any questions.
