Tutor: Mandy Meaghan

I have been sewing all my life from aged 7 making clothes for my Barbie and I even made my own school uniform when I was 13 so sewing is in my blood. After fashion school (1982) I went on to design and make my own clothes for over 40 years. With the sewing skills under my belt I went on to sew costumes for theatre and festivals for many, many years and now we run the School of Create Fashion sewing Programs based in both Abakhan Liverpool and Vauxhall.

We also run the Handy Woman program (basic upholsery & soft furnishings) courses on upcycling and furniture artistry.

I love all things that are creative and welcome the new skills that I will teach in 2025- Machine embroidery, quilting for garments, boho bag making and other wonderful skills that we can all learn together.
