What our clients say
Dear Ivana,
I truly appreciate the skill, dedication, and practicality you bring to every project, and I would happily recommend Anytime Art to others.
You know your stuff, are motivated to create tailored solutions when decluttering a space, revamping wardrobes, or organising a home - all whilst maintaining the personality of the place!
Your passion for upcycling, recycling, and repurposing not only helped me save money but also made it easier to part with items that no longer had a clear purpose in my life.
What I admire most, though, is your dedication to empowering others. You genuinely want your clients to feel confident and independent, so they won't need to rely on you in the future.
You've been a pleasure to work with, and I will definitely recommend you to anyone looking to bring order, style, and eco-consciousness into their life!
Loved learning here. Ivana is kind and supportive. I'd highly recommend learning to sew or crochet from Anytime Art! I'll be back to extend my skills.
I have taken: basic sewing lessons, overlocking machine 1 - 2 and Pattern copying workshop.
Always got content, practice, useful tips, and a little project I keep for myself and after class support from Ivana. Thanks a lot for your constant support and sharing all your knowledge and experience with your students.
Highly recommended
Ivana is an amazing sewing professional, no challenge is to great. Her quality to sewing is second to none and I would highly recommend Anytime Art for all your sewing alterations and creations!
I have found Ivana a very good instructor She has a lot of knowledge and patience. I am looking forward to have her teaching me next year!
I enjoy thrifting vintage and preloved clothes, but they often need repairs. Ivana from Anytime Art mended and adjusted them beautifully, giving the pieces a second life while keeping their character intact.
Ivana did a bunch of alteration jobs for me, across several months, probably totalling about 20 pieces of clothing. From simple trouser leg hemming through mending broken zips through to a total re-work of a dress into a top for a gig I was doing.
She was always helpful and accommodating (even with my often crazy requests) and yet hugely professional at the same time (and always punctual, speaking of time).
And unlike many seamstresses who have flat rates, Ivana charges based on the time she takes to do the work, so it’s always reasonably priced.
I wholeheartedly recommend her and her sewing services. You will not be disappointed!
Whereas me … I’m disappointed & heartbroken to have lost her to the travelling Oz bug.
Mehr really enjoyed her lessons. Ivana is very patient and welcoming. She doesn't rush and works at a pace students are comfortable with. Mehr understood everything so well.
Ivana is an inspirational and creative art teacher. I had the pleasure to be part of her classes. She is knowledgeable, patient and focused on detail. I highly recommend her classes!
Ivana is a great teacher with much patience. I have been working with her for a few years now and my skills in sewing and other creative endeavours have really flourished. I had another teacher before Ivana and hands down I have to say it has been a better experience with Ivana and I am proud of my creations!
Ivana is a fabulous teacher: she is patient, she provides clear instructions and she goes the extra mile to help her students.
She has a welcoming, friendly personality that helps create a pleasant working atmosphere.
No project is impossible under her guidance, no matter your skills.
I'd definitely recommend to reach out to her: it will be instructional and fun!
I have my very first sewing class with Ivana. She is so inspired and knowledgeable. We had quick chat days before the class booked, then she tailored a class to my personal need. It was great and fun. I am really satisfied with what I gained and will continue my sewing journey with Ivana! Highly recommend!
Ivana's teaching techniques, support and constant motivation encouraged me to take a hobby into a lifestyle! I'm now more organised, confident, better at planning a project and I've definitively become better at time managing.
It is great to work with Ivana!
Ivana solved my problems and shifted my way of thinking and of looking at the problem.
Ivana solved my “mess problems “ and created me solutions that fit how my brain works and how my lifestyle is.
She spoke to each of my kids and worked with them on sustainable way to keep their rooms clean even their cupboards and drawers. Thanks Ivana I don't need to do the job each week for them.
Ivana solved my pantry mess, kitchen, under stairs storage, all cupboards at home, my walk-in robe, my garage, my laundry, linen closet, family room and kids bedrooms.
Since Ivana worked with me on my home, my home is always tidy and beautiful, thanks Ivana, I can’t thank you enough!

Seam ripper is a great tool that every sewist is very well familiar with. Undoing the stitches is not always the sign of a mistake, we often use temporary stitches…
Second hand fabric is mostly unused fabric, but it probably sat in someone’s stash for a long time, so there may be some stains, holes, or just a weird shape.…
