Learn to sew or take your sewing to the next level.
With over 35 years experience as a professional dressmaker I am now enjoying passing on some of my skills and experience to those who would like to learn to sew or improve their home dressmaking skills.

About Me
I have over thirty five years experience in the fashion industry formally specialising in made to measure dressmaking services including extensive experience in the formal and bridal industry.
​
My background includes ten years with well known Melbourne fashion houses where I gained considerable experience in my field. I ran my business at first in Melbourne then Sydney for twenty years. I moved my dressmaking business Noosa Heads seven years ago. A few samples of my previous work can be found here.
​
I have now decided to retire from dressmaking and spend some of my time on my love of teaching people to sew. I have taught sewing now for over 10 years. My aim is to pass on some of my skills and experience to those new to sewing or those who would like to improve their own skills.
