I have an exciting announcement – I’m going to be tutoring a patternmaking night class this term! Well sort of patternmaking – it is titled “Patternmaking from a Garment you Love” and will go through all the techniques to obtain a perfect pattern from a favourite garment, without having to take it all apart!
The classes will be held on Wednesday evenings at Western Springs College in central Auckland, and will run for four weeks starting mid February. I’ll show you all the tricks of the trade for turning a garment into a proper pattern, and tons of practical patternmaking tips along the way. Plus, you’ll be able to ask me anything – you know how I love sharing info!
You can find all the details here at Leisuretime Learning, and there are sewing classes and other hobby classes available too.
I’m so excited to be tutoring as it is something I have always thought I would do eventually. I thoroughly enjoyed teaching the fashion students who came to me for work experience, and you know I like making tutorials – so I imagine this will be equally fun!

Awesome. Will be you teaching this as an ongoing thing possibly? I'm planning a trip to Wellington, if I'm crossing the tasman anyway it'd be incredible to go to one of your classes. You've already had a major major impact on my sewing. 🙂
