Nice to meet you, I’m Hayley!
I started The Haberdashery Lab after moving to Oxford from London, where I worked (and still do work) as a seamstress and tailor for some of the biggest names in fashion and music, alongside running my own label.
I am obsessed with all things design, cut and construction, and have honed my skills over many years of experimentation and a quest to understand how everything in constructed from the inside out. My camera roll is filled with mirror selfies of the things I’ve made and I want yours to be the same!
About The Haberdashery Lab
In my new city I found limited options for guided and inspirational lessons for design and sewing enthusiasts, so I decided to set up my own. I offer one-one-one tuition for people who want to make clothes they feel proud to wear from my studio in North Oxford.
Based within Makespace on Aristotle Lane, my studio space is fully-equipped with sewing machines, a large cutting table and every colour of thread under the sun. Please follow the link below for the most commonly asked questions about the lessons and to book:
