"The warmth to everybody! There's such a wonderful atmosphere here, there are many different types of ladies from different types of backgrounds, religions, countries and everybody is just so friendly. The teachers are also fantastic they know so much. We are very lucky to have had such wonderful teachers here. So, just the ethos of the place, and the warmth.
I joined Debra's class and I was in that class for two years, and I made two sets of shalwar kameez and the lehnga skirt and the choli blouse and the churidar pajama and I absolutely loved it, I really enjoyed it. Not only did I enjoy the sewing, but I think even better than that, was the group of ladies that I met. I was the only non-Muslim in the class, they were so nice to me, I absolutely loved it, and we talked about all sorts of things. We talked about arranged marriages, we talked about the Iraq war, we talked about tons and tons of things and I just would like to say that I learned so much. We often used to talk about clothes for use in religion, to make a statement of your religion. I made so many really nice friends in that class."
