Welcome to The Fashion School in Canberra's inner south suburb of Yarralumla. Inspired by elegant French and Italian fashions and trained at New York's Fashion Institute of Technology, my passion is to help students from beginner to advanced levels create gorgeous, perfectly-fitting clothes. To me, the luxury of fashion lies in attention to detail, draping and fit.

Private tuition and small group classes

Working from an inspirational, fully equipped atelier, I offer private lessons and as well as ongoing small group sewing and pattern-making classes.

​These classes are right for you if you are a beginner who wants to learn to sew or if you are an experienced fashion maker who wants to upgrade your skills. 

If you would like to take a private class, a class with a friend, or a mother/daughter class, please contact me for details (phone 0407 205 682 or email). All classes are for students who are 16 years and older.

​​​Fabrics and supplies

I sell 100% organic linen made from French and Belgium flax, here. These are soft and drape beautifully, and are ideal for pants, dresses and tops.

​Over coming months, I will be offering silk, cotton and wool fabrics.

​Shipping is free within Australia for orders over $50. 

The Fashion School also offers its own distinctive French curve ruler, pattern grading square, pattern grading ruler, and neck and armhole curve, here.

​About

​I've been sewing and pattern making all my life. Growing up in Sydney, I was inspired by my Mother, a talented clothes-maker who started me on a lifetime of creating beautiful clothes and learning as much as I could about techniques.

Later, while living in New York, I trained at the Manhattan campus of the Fashion Institute of Technology (part of New York State University) and worked in the New York fashion industry. Deeply inspired by European fashion design and techniques, I also trained through, and have professional standing with, the Centro Internazionale Alta Moda Sartoriale, Rome, Italy.

With best wishes
