Recommendations

I bought a waste free sewing pattern and had to draft a pattern from measurements given via a pdf. It did not make sense to me.
Sue was really good at helping me understand the measurement required and with her help I was able to draft the pattern onto paper.
Thanks SueView more recommendations

How My Pay Rate Works
My pricing is based on an hourly rate for an online session, with some flexibility to suit your needs.
Sessions can also be delivered on location at this fee, however if a studio space is required for pattern cutting or sewing classes, this will be an additional fee .
For students attending this type of session I will provide access to a domestic machine and basic pattern cutting materials (though you are welcome to bring your own machine if you prefer).
Every session is tailored to your goals, ensuring you receive personalised and valuable guidance. Feel free to reach out to discuss specific pricing and packages that align with your requirements.
