Welcome

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, I love helping students from beginner to advanced levels to create gorgeous, perfectly-fitting clothes. To me, the luxury of fashion lies in attention to detail, draping and fit. Let's create. Let's sew!

​
​Working from an inspirational, fully equipped atelier, I offer private lessons 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. 

Please contact me 0407 205 682 or email if you would like to discuss taking a private class or a class with a friend.

​I also offer gift certificates for beginner sewing - a great gift for a special occasion. 

All classes are for students who are 16 years and older. Find out more about me and my approach​ here.
