I'm based in Heage in mid Derbyshire (DE56) and I've been sewing and dressmaking for over 50 years. I have succesfully completed The Saville Row Coat to develop my hand tailoring skills. I'm a teacher, bespoke garment maker and pattern maker who is keen to help others experience the joy of working with fabric to make something unique. 

 

Teaching

I can teach you to make the most of your sewing machine, to  

make clothes that fit you - dressmaking lessons beginners to tailoring.

I'll teach sewing in your own home where I can bring a sewing machine to you or in local workshops in Ripey and Heage.

I'll come along to a community group to teach dressmaking.

If you own a sewing school and would like me to teach workshops for you I will work freelance - bra making, menswear. I will tailor courses to your requirements

 

Dressmaking/Tailoring

If you want an outfit that you can guarentee no one else will have I will make it for you. I'm happy to make made to measure clothes for men and women, including traditional tailored jackets, waistcoats, trousers and hand made shirts.
