What you'll do

Breathe new life into your wardrobe and learn to recreate your favourite garments from start to finish at this live online class. It's a great way to get creative indoors and discover some new things to make at home!

Get to grips with textile designing and discover some fantastic techniques from a talented tailor. You'll develop new skills as you copy the design of your favourite fashion items onto paper, ready to be recreated from the materials of your choice. Your guide will help you through each stage of the design process, so don't worry if you don't know how to stitch or draw, this is a completely beginner-friendly class that anyone can enjoy.

Taking the time to learn something new is one of the best things to do when you're bored at home. You could even invite your faraway friends and learn all about tailoring as a group for a great way to spend some quality time together.

By the end of your virtual experience, you'll have a clear head and a beautiful design that you can recreate whenever you're feeling crafty indoors.

Please note:
For complicated garments including corset-style dresses, jackets and coats more time may be required to complete the design.

My name is Claire and I am The Ethical Tailor. I am the founder of Moxie Craft and Couchman Bespoke an ethical tailors based in Canning Town. I grew up in Harlow, Essex with a creative mother and an entrepreneur father. After gaining a BA(Hons) degree in clothing design and tailoring from Brighton University, I ventured into the world and set up my company to combat the inequalities of the fashion industry I had been subject to.

By creating zero waste through pattern cutting, natural dyeing and sourcing the most sustainable cloth and haberdashery we aim to have very little negative impact on the planet and local people.
Now with 20 years of retail knowledge and 14 years of tailoring experience behind me, I feel confident in my ability to produce clothing that is timeless. Clothing construction is a great passion of mine that sits juxtaposed with a strong interest in the environmental impact of the clothing and textile industry. I aim to be a contributing factor in helping to reduce the environmental impact of the fashion industry whilst educating people about the issue through my workshops and trading fairly within the supply chain.
