I’m a professional Costumier and sewing educator and I’ve spent the last 15 years helping absolute beginners master the sewing machine and fall in love with making.

I started out teaching sewing on whim, after reading about how it was no longer taught in schools which made me so sad, and now since my first few classes I grew a sewing school, then worked on the UK's first TV show about sewing for over 30 years, and have helped to inspire some of the regular 3 million viewers to take up sewing.

Learning to sew isn't just about the life skills, it's an act of self care, and a great way to make new friends through the network of others who share you passion.
