Put aside your everyday life events and come to my lovely studio and learn how to make clothes in styles of your choice. Dressmaking isn't just about making dresses, Its about dressing..., and that can also be trousers, waistcoats, jackets, skirts or tops, for any style, any shape, any gender identity.
When we make our clothes, they can be however we want them, in colours and textures we love, with shapes to enhance our silhouette and styles that feel natural and reflect the 'True You'. Sewing our own clothes adds another dimension, it makes them more personal and special, and we develop more of a sense of pride in our choice of clothes.
This course is suitable for both beginners and the more experienced sewists and for any gender identity.
Sewing is a mindful practice and you'll soon find yourself in the zone towards creating something that will make you feel more confident in your dressing, and when it fits, its going to look and feel fabulous.
Teas, coffees or herbals included and Lunch can be taken at the numerous lovely cafes nearby or bring your own. A Microwave and kettle are available .
Limited spaces, contact me if one of these is for you.
