1:1 Costume Making Tuition
Personalised sewing support tailored entirely to you and your project
Want help making a costume but don’t want a full structured course? Already started a project and feeling stuck? Looking to improve a specific skill or finally tackle something you’ve always wanted to learn?
Book personalised 1:1 costume and sewing tuition tailored entirely to your goals, experience level, and interests.
These sessions are designed around exactly what you want to learn — whether that’s mastering a specific technique, building confidence with stretch fabrics, improving fit, learning embellishment methods, or getting guided support while completing a costume or sewing project.
Because every session is fully personalised, tuition can be skills-based, project-based, or a mixture of both.
You might want help with:
✦ Performance costume making
✦ Sewing with stretch fabrics and Lycra
✦ Pattern adjustments and fit
✦ Sleeves, skirts, necklines and finishing techniques
✦ Rhinestoning and embellishment
✦ Appliqué design and placement
✦ Learning to use your sewing machine or overlocker
✦ Troubleshooting a current sewing project
✦ Working through a costume step-by-step with expert guidance
How it works
Sessions are taught 1:1 online, with in-person sessions available for local students (please get in touch to discuss pricing & availability).
Tuition is booked with a minimum of 2 hours, with additional time available in 1-hour increments depending on your needs.
To make the sessions as useful as possible, please send a brief message around the time of booking outlining:
✓ What you would like to learn (for skills-based sessions)
or
✓ The project you’d like support with (for project-based tuition)
This allows me to tailor and plan your session specifically to you so we can make the most of our time together.
Flexible booking options
Choose the approach that works best for you:
2 Hours – Sewing SOS
Perfect for troubleshooting, learning a specific technique, fitting help, or getting unstuck on a project.
5+ Hours – Project Support
Ideal if you’d like ongoing support while working through a costume or sewing project over multiple sessions.
10 Hours – Costume Mentoring
Perfect for larger projects or building confidence over time, with flexible tuition hours used across several weeks.
Prefer to book as you go? No problem — many students simply book the minimum 2-hour session whenever they’re ready for their next stage of support.
Sessions are arranged at a mutually convenient time and scheduled to suit your pace — whether that’s occasional support when you need it, weekly tuition, or intensive sessions close together.
Suitable for all experience levels — from complete beginners to experienced sewists wanting support with specialist costume and stretch sewing techniques.
