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. If you want to learn the basics, improve your technique, learn how to alter or upcycle your clothing or home linens, or give free rein to your imagination and creativity, I am here to help. I offer several types of courses depending on the level: 1) Introductory classes on the basics of sewing, materials, and making a small project. 2) Carrying out a creative project of the student's choice, which will have been previously discussed so that the student can prepare it as best as possible. 3) Carrying out a creative project prepared by me to awaken the student's creativity and curiosity.
