FOUNDER

Precious is a fashion-trained designer and founder of Hyness School of Design in Milton Keynes. A graduate of the internationally renowned London College of Fashion (University of the Arts London), she refined her craft working with leading designers and was nominated for Designer of the Year in 2016.

Her work is rooted in elegance, craftsmanship, and timeless design. With a distinctive eye for detail and a deep understanding of garment construction, Precious creates with a commitment to quality, sophistication, and enduring style.

Over time, her passion for fashion evolved into a dedication to teaching and creative empowerment. Through her sewing and design courses, she helps students of all backgrounds develop confidence, technical skills, and pride in creating their own garments.

What began as sharing skills within her own family has grown into a thriving creative education practice. Today, Precious teaches adults and young people across Milton Keynes, making the art of garment-making accessible while nurturing creativity, self-expression, and practical life skills.

Through the expansion of her Junior Design School, Precious is committed to inspiring the next generation of designers and ensuring young people can see pathways into fashion and the wider creative industries.

At the heart of her work is a lifelong dedication to design, craftsmanship, and the transformative power of creativity.

Not at all. My classes are beginner-friendly and perfect even if you’ve never touched a sewing machine before. I’ll guide you step-by-step to build your confidence and skills.

What if I already know how to sew?
That’s great! These classes are also ideal for those who want to strengthen their technique, learn new methods, or take on more advanced projects. You’ll have the opportunity to challenge yourself and refine your skills in a supportive environment.

Just bring yourself! I provide the sewing machines and basic materials. If we need anything specific for a project, I’ll let you know in advance. If you have your own sewing machine and prefer to use it, you’re more than welcome to bring it along.

Each class follows a well-structured lesson plan, with a focus on developing a new technique each week. The content is carefully designed to build your skills progressively throughout the course. For a detailed breakdown of what’s included, please refer to the individual course descriptions.

Yes, to ensure everyone receives personal attention and guidance, class sizes are kept small, usually with no more than 6 students per session. This helps create a friendly, supportive environment where you can learn at your own pace.

Life happens! If you miss a class, I’ll do my best to help you catch up either by providing notes, demo videos, or arranging a quick recap before the next session. While I can’t always offer full make-up classes, I’ll make sure you don’t fall behind.
