About me.

I studied my HND in Fashion and Design at Solent university. I graduated in 1990 with a merit. My specialist subjects were pattern cutting, tailoring and garment manufacturing.
I spent my apprenticeship at a specialist wedding dress designer and manufacturer.
For several years I taught fashion and sewing in various educational establishments.
I spent four years instructing and working in a denim jeans manufacturing factory.
In 1999 I set up my business and became a self employed clothing alterations tailor.
For many years I had a large corporate client base including many high end boutique shops in Winchester, including :
Cadogan and Co,
LK Bennett,
Hobbs,
Phase Eight,
Little London,
Beales department store,
Gieves and Hawkes,
Any many more.
When covid happened, I had to alter my business plan as many of the high street shops fell victim to the lack of business and the increase in online sales. I opened up my business to more private clients and then to the general public. I have consistently been busy with tailoring work and have little need to advertise as my business is recommended by word of mouth locally.
My qualifications.
