- 5/5 from Jo Watson, attended Mar 2026: Silvia is a really wonderful teacher, she set a really good pace for the class based on what I wanted to do and learn, which I really appreciated. Would highly recommend this class do anyone, thank you so much Silvia!
- 5/5 from Tehmeena Malik, attended Jul 2025: Silvia is an outstanding teacher and this class was like hanging out with an old friend! She is very knowledgeable and helpful. I learned a lot of new tips and tricks in a short amount of time. Highly recommended.
Your teacher
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.
