Couchman Bespoke

Hello there 🤗 I am The Ethical Tailor if we haven't met, and Claire when we have 💚

I am an alteration, bespoke garment tailor and I teach sewing skills. My classes are 1 to 1 unless you wish to bring a friend, please book the appropriate class type.

♡ Classes range from beginner threading of a sewing machine upto more advance garment pattern making.

♡ Alterations range from trouser hems upto wedding dresses. Though due to the high demand in classes these are on a 2/3 week rurn round.

♡ Bespoke garments are either mens or womens (my degree is in menswear) These require a 3 month turn round.

All give back to people and planet making a positive impact throughout the world 🌎 💚
