Recent reviews of Beginner Sewing Class with a Fashion Designer

  • 5/5 from Shirley Acquah-Davis, attended Jun 2026: This was such a wonderful class! I signed up because I was lacking confidence when it came to setting up my sewing machine and sewing neatly. (I actually hadn’t touched my sewing machine in years because of that lack of confidence). But Ardelle was so friendly, very patient, and knowledgeable. She created such a welcoming atmosphere that I felt completely comfortable practicing and improving my sewing skills. Her encouragement and guidance gave me so much more confidence, and I learned so many useful techniques and tips that I can continue practicing at home. I came away feeling inspired and excited to keep sewing! I would highly recommend Ardelle’s class to anyone looking to learn or build their confidence. It’s a supportive, enjoyable environment, and a great place to develop your sewing skills. Thank you, Ardelle!!!
  • 5/5 from Peoni Ng, attended Jun 2026: I had a really positive experience in my lesson with Ardelle. She explained everything clearly and guided me step by step, which helped me feel comfortable using the machine even as a complete beginner. I managed to pick up a lot in a short amount of time, and by the end of the lesson I had made a small pouch to take home, which felt like a great achievement.

I began my journey in fashion with a love for creating garments that feel personal, considered and beautifully made.
After studying at University of the Arts London and completing my Master’s at Kingston University, I launched my fashion business in 2019. Since then, my bespoke couture work has been worn at international award shows including the BET Awards, BRIT Awards, The Walpole Luxury British Awards, MOBO Awards and more.
Today, my work sits largely within bridalwear, where I design pieces for women during some of the most meaningful moments of their lives. Bridal design has deepened my appreciation for craftsmanship — the quiet details, the construction, the fit, the fabric, and the patience involved in making something truly special.
I started Ardelle Academy in 2024 as a way to share the knowledge I’ve built over the years. I know sewing can feel overwhelming at first, especially when you are faced with machines, patterns, fabric choices and unfamiliar techniques. My passion is helping students move through that uncertainty with calm, supportive guidance.
I love teaching because I get to watch people surprise themselves. There is something beautiful about seeing a student go from “I don’t think I can do this” to creating something with their own hands.
My classes are gentle, practical and encouraging, with a focus on helping you build real confidence from the very beginning of your sewing journey.
