Hi there! I am an experienced teacher and tutor of Dress and Textiles. Having mainly taught in schools for thirty years - on and off - I am now working independently, delivering community dressmaking and sewing classes and workshops in and around Holmfirth. As a B.Ed graduate in Fashion and Textiles I can cater for all abilities from absolute beginner to advanced. My main skills are in Fashion design, pattern drafting and dressmaking. I also have experience in Interior design and can deliver classes in soft furnishings and Textiles for the home, toys, accessories and decorative items. If its made from fabric, I can sew it!
I have worked in a variety of settings in the past, Middle schools, Secondary schools and Adult Education at Oldham Lifelong learning centre. I relate well to all ages and client groups and will happily accommodate children, senior citizens, disabled and vulnerable learners.
