Teaching people how to sew and be able to make their own clothes or other fabric based projects gives me great pleasure.
Following my hobby, I took classes at the local college and gained a City and Guilds in Fashion. I really enjoyed learning about creating fashion and gained many new skills that I passed on to others in the local community education classes. Later, I completed a business degree and became a qualified teacher, which I loved. Now I want to go back to my hobby and give others the skills to enjoy a new practical and creative leisure interest.
I have called my business - Fun with Fabrics and Fashion, because that is exactly what I want my students to have.
One-to-one lessons
Group Classes
Advanced Dressmaking
This is a group for the more experienced dressmaker but if you know something of the basics I am happy for you to join us.
Students choose their own project and work through it with guidance to complete to a more professional finish.
Projects covered so far include tailoring and making and fitting a trouser toile as well pattern cutting for skirts.
The three hour session is great for allowing total immersion in the project but with time for friendly chat and getting tips from other students. In case you are wondering about the fee - I am doing this group as a volunteer for AgeUK who run the Gilbert Richards Centre.
