The Fashion Loop

I thoroughly enjoyed Jay's Pattern Cutting course. I learnt many technical dressmaking skills which gave me the confidence to explore various sewing projects.

Jay's classes were well paced and delivered with incredible passion and most importantly, patience. No matter how stupid the question, Jay would never flinch but take the time to explain until you were ...

After learning about the fundamentals of dart manipulation , we then made our own bespoke patterns blocks which we could use to adapt existing patterns to fit us properly and create our own designs. This was a turning point on my sewing journey for me ! Jay is the most patient and kind of tutors. Numerous times ...
