What our customers think…

“I couldn’t be more excited to do this course. I bought the kit as well as the course. So pleased I did as it meant I could get started straight away.

I really liked the step by step approach. The videos and online workbooks were really clear and made it really easy to follow. It meant I could do parts of it when I had a spare moment around the kids, then I finished it off a couple of days later. Overall it took me around 3 hours to complete. 

Great service from Semper Hopkins Upholstery and Interiors. If you are thinking about giving it a go just go for it. It’s been an absolute joy to do and I can’t wait to do it again. So proud of my finished bench.”

Lena Russell

I was so excited to receive the frame kit and loved choosing my own fabric. Everything was included in the kit and the supporting videos and worksheets were so easy to follow. Honestly, if I can do it anyone can.

The whole process is step by step, it’s like having Emma in your own home. She was also available should you have any questions.

I’m so proud of myself and I now have a beautiful bench in my bedroom that fills me with joy when I look at it. I would highly recommend Emma’s frame kits.
