If you want clothes that fit
If you want clothes that fit
I can provide the following services:
Support for home dressmakers
If you are a home dressmaker, you may find it awkward to fit yourself, mark hems, take measurements etc. This is something I can help you with.
I am a member of the UKSewing Yahoo group of UK sewers. We are a community that supports and encourages each other. If you are interested in sewing, I encourage you to join.
Classes
I teach private classes in dressmaking by arrangement. If you wish to start dressmaking, improve a particular skill, please contact me to discuss your requirements.
I also teach classes at New Directions (The Learning & Employment Service for Reading). See the entry about classes in FAQs for more details.
Support for Pattern Drafting Software.
I sometimes make use of pattern drafting software to make clothes that fit. If you use pattern drafting software yourself, and you are having difficulty in getting measurements, I can help. Contact me to arrange a measuring session.
