Learn to Sew

Written by Administrator on 13 January 2016.

Learn to sew or improve your sewing skills with a private tutor on a one to one basis.

Fashion is what you make it. Create your own patterns and designs to suit your size and style. Whether you want to start from scratch or adapt an existing pattern or garment I can help.

Helen's Workshop Exeter is about making fashion your own way. With my classes I am happy to teach basic sewing skills, teach general pattern cutting, creating your own blocks, assist and if necessary adapt a paper pattern. I can cover whatever your need.

My aim is to provide one to one tuition to help express ones individual style.

I am happy to teach beginners to advanced sewing ability

  • A beginner is someone who does not have any experience in sewing
  • Intermediate experience would be someone who knows how to use the sewing machine with confidence. Or maybe someone who is coming back to sewing after a break
  • Advanced students have a background in sewing and would like to enhance and refine their skills
