Meet your Instructor
Hello!
I’m Charlotta and I'm so excited to finally offer you classes in Ipswich for 2025. I'm a fashion designer and pattern cutter by trade and I also lectured in Fashion Design at Suffolk New College from 2009 to 2018.
Most of all I'm really passionate about teaching people like you to make clothes that fit and bring you joy.
Whether you’re interested in improving your sewing skills, finally getting sewing patterns to fit, pattern hacking or drafting your own patterns - I'm here to make these dreams a reality.
The last five years I've been mainly teaching online. It’s really exciting to have found a great sewing studio at Crafty Baba so I can now offer real in person classes again.
I look forward to offering a lot of different courses throughout 2025, starting with two for January.
Do have a look at my Instagram and YouTube to find out a little bit more about how I teach, or email any questions to [email protected]
All the best
Charlotta
