Learn Simple Decorative Stitches and Other DIY Sewing Projects

As a designer and dressmaker I create garments, satin hair bonnets, pillowcases and much more. I strongly believe in persons gaining the knowledge in being able to create their own articles of clothing or even smaller sewing projects as hobby.

In this class you will learn the basics of sewing, how to do decorative stitches that can be used to add flair to a blouse, pillowcase and so much more. These classes are 30 minute long classes and if you have never sewn before that it quite alright. You will leave with the ability to.

My Conversational English class is a platform that allows the student and the tutor to converse about various topics with the aim of improving the student's grasp of the English Language. Learning English can be fun and this setting allows you to relax and talk about various topics and with guidance from myself. I will help you improve your pronunciation, grammar, and more as we converse. So you really don't feel like a student in a classroom setting but just chatting with a friend but at the same time improving your English. Awesome right?! We can talk about anything you wish, problems at work, my advice on something etc. Our lessons can be audio-only.

Sew your own comfortable dress - upcycling to wear and feel good
Sewing and wearing self-made clothes made of new material is something very special in and of itself. It is even more exciting to sew a dress from second hand clothes, curtains, duvet covers or bathrobes, especially if these also have a special sentimental meaning. If you can't sew yet, I'll teach you. If you don't have any fabrics yourself, I also offer a selection of various washed second hand fabrics that we can process. The course includes - the design and manufacture of your own pattern in katcouture style (see photo) for your dress - The selection, quality control, and maximum use of existing substances / materials - Cutting and ironing the pieces of fabric with the help of the pattern / template - Basic techniques of sewing on the sewing machine and how it works - Tips & tricks that can also be used for future sewing projects Since everyone is very individual when it comes to the time required, the times are determined individually and calculated every hour (25, -). Classes take place in Au / Haidhausen. Course suitable for everyone between 13 – 75 who has good motor skills and dexterity :)

Tunisian,: Learn to make models or your own model. Easy and quick molding course. Take measurements, fitting, alterations, sewing on machine. Dear member, you will be able to choose your private lessons according to your needs. MOLDING WITHOUT PRIOR PATTERN This consists of forming directly on the body, using a simply squared and reinforced canvas, all the darts and assembly seams that require a perfect fit...neckline and armhole lines, etc. This sort of basic pattern thus obtained on the body, is then transferred to paper and interpreted according to very precise technical rules. These technical rules, like those that are applied to mold the body, follow logically from the principles exposed for the outline of the theoretical basic pattern that we have just studied and its perfect adaptation to the body, which we are going to do.
