"I give a negotiable discount rate of $75 for enrolled students or beginners instead of the regular rate of $100 an hour for my more advanced students. If you want the discount, just ask!

Also, I require all my students to be fully vaccinated if they come to my studio for in-person lessons!

By infusing traditional couture techniques with a modern sensibility, you can bring your garment design projects to life using techniques that are (sadly) dying off due to mass production. With over 40 years of work under my belt in the Fashion Development and Costuming industries, I can teach you how to create your designs with a distinctive old-school flair that will get your work noticed by professionals!

I am a recognized expert in Patternmaking, Draping, High-End Sewing & Sample Making, Custom Grading, All Handwork Crafts, Custom Dying, Primitive Pleating, Millinery, and Corsetry skills.

Please contact me if you are interested in learning some high-end couture techniques, either for a specific project you have lined up or just in general for fun!" less...
