What I Do

With decades of experience in luxury fabrics and specialist garments, I offer alterations. As a qualified educator, I provide private lessons, group workshops and courses in pattern drafting and sewing techniques.

Also 1-2-1 sewing classes , which can be from age 14 and held in your own home so , if you are needing to learn a little more along side school for textiles or along side fashion college to learn sewing techniques , that you may feel you would like to do more of and may not be included in the design of pattern drafting course,  so , whatever you feel you want or need to brush your skills up on , please contact for more details and a course that can be tailored specially for you .

My latest service is to provide 5-day sewing retreats in North Yorkshire.
