About the Tutor:

Hello, I'm Elaine Hobden, a lifelong garment maker with a passion for sharing the art of dressmaking. I honed my skills through a City and Guilds Fashion and Design course, where I learned the intricacies of designing garments, drafting and cutting patterns, and the professional techniques of garment construction. My unique touch involves combining hand embroidery with machine embroidery to add a personal flair to my designs.

We have a coffeeshop in our centre if you would like to get refreshments before the class but we suggest doing this 15 minutes beforehand. 

Age 18+ Only
All abilities welcome!
