I am an experienced and qualified vocational tutor of dress making and sewing crafts both privately and for the local college. I offer learning for the complete beginner to the more experienced. Whether you want to make a dress or a handbag, I can teach you. I will teach you at your home and all you need is a sewing machine, fabric and materials for your project and lots of enthusiasm.
I have taught people who last touched a sewing machine when they were at school and now they have discovered new and enjoyable skills and have made some wonderful items that they want to wear, carry or use.
I offer one to one classes or groups up to six students. The smaller groups allows me to give each student plenty of time and attention.
Sewing classes can offer the student a few hours of creative bliss, whether on their own or with a group of like minded people.
My sewing knowledge and instruction in dress making can support a budding fashion designer who would like to pursue a career in fashion and design and would like to to learn how an item of clothing is constructed, what material is best suited to particular designs and even how to make your own designs by making your own patters.
If the student would like to learn to make hand bags, oven gloves, toys, such as memory bears to rag dolls or anything that requires a needle and thread, please contact me.

I have been learning sewing from Elaine for a month and it has been a fantastic experience . Elaine is a great teacher and her knowledge in sewing is very inspiring. I am building on my fundamentals with every project and can already see the difference in my work. I couldn't have asked for a better teacher.

Elaine has given me my Sewing "Mojo" back! I was frustrated with a pile of unfinished projects, garments that didn't fit, or I didn't understand how to complete. With a calm patient approach she was able to put me right, guiding me through to finish my projects with an enthusiasm that was truly infectious! I am now back behind the sewing machine with a new found confidence. I hope to continue to be guided by this lovely lady!

Elaine gives clear and concise instruction on the work you are undertaking, she will always answer any problems in a way that you can understand. She is attentive and very knowledgeable. Unfortunately I am not able to attend any of Elaine’s classes as I moved away, but I certainly miss the knowledge and fun that she brings to her tuition.
