Open Atelier | Flexible Booking

Book the full 5-evening block

Or book individual atelier evenings as needed

Step into a calm, design-led studio where creativity is given the time and space to flourish.

Open Atelier is designed for those who wish to sew with greater independence while still benefiting from the guidance and expertise of a professional fashion designer when needed. Whether you are continuing an existing project, refining your techniques, or developing a new garment from scratch, the atelier provides dedicated studio time within a supportive and inspiring environment.

Unlike a structured course, Open Atelier allows you to work at your own pace. Bring your own projects and enjoy the freedom to create, with personalised guidance available throughout the session whenever required.

This is not a classroom.

It is a creative studio designed for focus, craftsmanship, and confidence-building.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need any sewing experience to join?

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.

What do I need to bring to class?

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.

What will be covered in the class?

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.

Is there a maximum number of students per class?

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.

Can I make up a class if I miss one?

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.
