How can we help?
Q: Do I need to know how to sew?
Basic sewing knowledge is helpful to understand how pieces join together, but it is not required. We will focus on the logic of drafting the pattern on paper.
Q: Will I make a full garment in this class?
We focus on Pattern Making, but we can cut the fabric and assemble the pieces by hand (using pins or hand-tacking) to visualize the structure. Please note that this is not a sewing class; we focus on the logic of how pieces fit together rather than sewing machine techniques or finishing.
Q: What's the cancellation policy?
A: Free to cancel or reschedule up until 3 days before the class
Q: How long does the class run for, and what's the price?
A: 2 hours, £95 - £110 per guest (£95 for Private 1-to-1 Sketching (2 hours); £110 for Private 1-to-1 Pattern Making (2 hours))

Your teacher
Hi, I'm Anna Stella. Fashion has been my language for more than 30 years. I started with hand sketching and couture-style pattern making, and over time expanded into digital design, Adobe Illustrator and modern creative tools, including AI in fashion. Today I teach through Anna Stella Fashion Academy in Manchester, guiding beginners and aspiring designers to build confidence, learn professional methods and create work they're proud to show.What makes my teaching different is the balance between creativity and structure: we don't just draw beautiful sketches, we build strong fashion lines, understand proportions and translate ideas into patterns that actually fit. I run small-group workshops at my own fully equipped studio in Manchester, as well as private 1-to-1 lessons and online classes.Anna Stella Fashion Academy is run by Anna Stella London Ltd, listed on the UK Register of Learning Providers (UKPRN 10101185) and an approved CPD provider with The CPD Group (provider no. 786956) for its Professional Training Program in Fashion Design, Creative Identity & Technology.
