Catherine's Dressmaking, Alteration & Sewing lessons

Catherine's Dressmaking, Alteration & Sewing lessons I can teach you to sew or I can create a bespoke garment for you and I can alter existing garments.

I have a BTec diploma in Fashion & Design and over 20 years experience with dressmaking. I currently have my own dressmaking, alterations and sewing lesson business, which I run from my own home. I originally come from Dorset and when I completed my BTec diploma in fashion & design my mother and I opened a fabric shop & dressmaking business. We had an extremely busy shop and employed many staff,

one of which had worked for many years for the royalty in Malta. She had a great deal of experience which she passed on to me. I enjoy helping others learn to be competent sewers, so they will love sewing as much as I do.

This is a recent alteration I had. The lady had taken it to a place to lower the neckline but she wasn’t happy so brought it to me to rectify.
First three pictures are before I rectified it. So pleased I was able to help her. I even managed to reduce the damage (pulled threads) significantly
