School of Sewing

Helen teaches students of all ages and levels, in a variety of classes such as basic pattern making/altering, grading patterns, cutting, garment construction and mending. Of course Helen specializes in teaching stretch fabrics, which has her students wanting to learn more. Through her teaching she provides her students with the techniques and skills to achieve professionally made garments on a domestic sewing machine.

Helen’s love of sewing has never faded throughout the years and she believes that everyone is creative in their own way. She still gets a thrill to see so many people love sewing as much as she does and is equally excited when they find their own creativity and energy through fabric, colour and design.
