Would you like to learn to make clothes from scratch? How about altering, customising, or upcycling existing garments? Or maybe you are just after some single lessons on pattern cutting, sewing techniques, or fabric cutting, for instance?
Whether you are after lifelong skills like making or mending your own clothes, or pursuing a professional career; whether you have a background in fashion or you are a complete beginner, my lessons cater for everyone. With decades of experience as a freelance fashion designer and garment technologist, I can help you develop your designs while you learn, and they will be tailored to your needs.
The sessions include the use of machines and tools, and fabrics for testing, although not final fabrics (these would have to be provided by yourself depending on the project that you are making).
You will be learning from a local professional fashion designer with more than 25 years' experience, in a city-centre studio near Manchester's Northern Quarter.

I started learning sewing at seven years old from my mum, who was a dressmaker working in couture, and drawing from my grandad, who was an artist. I then got into bespoke dressmaking class with grown-ups at 11 (I was the youngest student!), starting a long professional career in fashion design, graduating in 1992 (Madrid) and 2000 (Manchester).
I hold two BA (Hons), one in industrialised fashion design and pattern cutting and another in fashion design with styling. I have had my own fashion company and fashion brand of my own name since the early 90s and I have released numerous collections from vintage styles to streetwear and couture, some for my company and others for other companies.
I have also taught fashion design BA (Hons) at Donghua University in Shanghai (PR China) for three years full time, but I missed designing and making so I decided to only teach occasionally now, so I can mainly create, but I have since taught workshops in anything fashion design related, from sewing to dressmaking, pattern cutting and fashion upcycling. I have taught and tutored thousands of students that have successfully accomplished a career in fashion and many who just wanted to learn to make their own clothes.
I have a lovely and quirky studio in Manchester's Northern Quarter where I create lovely high-end bespoke clothes and you are welcome to come and learn from me on a one-on-one basis.
