A friendly environment for learning the art of tailoring

This dedicated bespoke tailoring course will enable you to learn professional skills from a highly experienced tailor, in a friendly and focused environment. Former students that have attended my bespoke tailoring courses have gone on to start their own businesses. And students have attended my course from countries as far away as sweden, canada spain and south africa.

All tools necessary are also available for students eliminating the need to bring their own. But can do so if they wish as long as they match that of the course materials list. We supply everything from drafting rulers to thimbles and shears. Paper is supplied for patterns as well as cloth and linings for samples.
