My FREESTLYE SEWING course is for people of every skill level wanting to mend, alter or transform pieces in their wardrobe 😊

Simons mother was a seamstress who worked at Columbines for many years, she taught him how to use a sewing machine at a young age however he didn't continue after those few lessons.
As an adult his body has made a huge transformation and he needed to make alterations to a couple of his shirts that he couldn't part with but wasn't wearing because they no longer fit right
He took in 2 shirts from 5xl to XL by removing the equivalent of three A4 sized pieces of fabric before reassembling it
He says "I was going to do the Mechanical Engineering course this year but I had to go back to work. I thought by doing this I'd still get to do some design and construction but I absolutely loved it and the shirts look awesome. I did that while Izzy gave me the method, resouces and confidence to do it"😁😁😁
Simon has returned to do the course again with a more advanced project of mending his leather motorcycle racing onesie and then changing transforming it into a two piece.
The June rotation sold out in 2 days with 25 students and it's so awesome that several of them are men, woohoo 👏🏽 🙌🏽 😀
Stay tuned 😁😁
