PERSONAL TUITION

l also offer one-to-one ongoing tuition for the sewists and designers who want to master their craft as a regular practice.

Lessons can be truly bespoke, covering a range of topics as you tick off your 10,000 hours. Whether you want to master the art of sewing drapey silks, design and tailor a pair of trousers or apply to your dream fashion school, I can help you get there.

Below are just a few ideas of what you can learn during our lessons together, but the possibilities are endless! Please email me through the link below to get started:

SEWING AND CONSTRUCTION

Take your sewing to the next level with teaching that focuses on the areas you’re most interested in. Whether that’s:

  • Everyday wardrobe essentials

  • Trousers and tailoring

  • Dresses

  • Shirts

  • Evening wear

Week by week will cover all the skills you need to be able to sew your dream wardrobe to a beautiful quality.

PATTERN CUTTING

Learn how to take your ideas from your head to your wardrobe!

I will guide you through all the processes from blank page to basic block to finished pattern, in a straight forward and easy to understand way, focusing on the clothes that you’re interested in drafting.

As fashion is an art, you will learn pattern cutting through a mix of logical measurement points and angles as well as creative trials (and errors, they are a part of it!).

I will help you to understand all the pattern cutting ‘rules’ so that you know how to break them, if you want!

DRAPING

There’s so much fun to be had with draping, where your imagination is truly your only limit, but sometimes it’s hard to know where to begin!

If you want to know how to create elegant shape and silhouette through draping, I can guide you through each step of the process from fabric preparation, pinning, documenting, marking, and transferring your work into a working pattern.

It’s an experimental and rewarding process that’s hard not to fall in love with!

FASHION DESIGN

What takes a piece of clothing from good to great?

In design-focused classes we will cover all the elements that are brought together to deliver a showstopper - and this includes items in your everyday wardrobe!

You’ll consider silhouette, proportions, fabric choices and design details as you work to develop your designs to be the best that they can be.

These classes will include sketching, draping, pattern cutting and sewn trials to truly develop your creative handwriting, and result in great design you can make yourself!
