Certified seamstress and costume designer, I offer sewing and pattern making classes!
I learned sewing and pattern making from my grandmother, like many of us! Passionate about history, she passed on to me her love of savoir-faire, craftsmanship and historical costumes. In 2021, I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Fashion Design. I then specialised in costume and audiovisual productions by taking part in several short films. A year ago, I obtained my Master's degree in stage costume design and production. I was lucky enough to do several internships in Parisian fashion houses, especially in the tailoring workshops. My strong point is sharing my passion for the craft. :) Don't hesitate to contact me for more information or to request a course! PS: At first I can provide some of the sewing material. I am happy to share my skills and offer sewing and pattern making courses as well as styling.

Sew your own comfortable dress - upcycling to wear and feel good
Sewing and wearing self-made clothes made of new material is something very special in and of itself. It is even more exciting to sew a dress from second hand clothes, curtains, duvet covers or bathrobes, especially if these also have a special sentimental meaning. If you can't sew yet, I'll teach you. If you don't have any fabrics yourself, I also offer a selection of various washed second hand fabrics that we can process. The course includes - the design and manufacture of your own pattern in katcouture style (see photo) for your dress - The selection, quality control, and maximum use of existing substances / materials - Cutting and ironing the pieces of fabric with the help of the pattern / template - Basic techniques of sewing on the sewing machine and how it works - Tips & tricks that can also be used for future sewing projects Since everyone is very individual when it comes to the time required, the times are determined individually and calculated every hour (25, -). Classes take place in Au / Haidhausen. Course suitable for everyone between 13 – 75 who has good motor skills and dexterity :)
