Couture Classes

If you enjoy home sewing or even make a few of your own clothes already these classes could be just for you. There’s a vast range of commercial patterns available and all sorts of interesting designs but nothing quite beats a pattern made just for you, to your own specifications and even your own design. Jessica can teach you everything you need to be able to create your own unique pieces of clothing and if you have a special occasion coming up she can help you with that too. Be it a mother-of-the-bride outfit, a bridesmaid dress or even a wedding dress, Jessica can tailor a course for you and provide one-to-one tuition as little or as often as you need.

Jessica Charleston has been creating bespoke wedding dresses for more than a decade and with the popularity of programmes like the Great British Sewing Bee and a resurgence in appreciation for homegrown arts and crafts she has decided it’s time to share her knowledge and pass on her skills to the good folk of Bristol, Bath and the surrounding area. Aimed at those with some existing sewing skills who are keen to or have already made their own garments but would like to advance their skills and learn how to make their own patterns. She will also be teaching couture finishing techniques for taking home sewn garments to the next level.

Forthcoming classes are listed below and if you would like more information please email classes@jessicacharleston.co.uk. One-to-one tuition is available at £30 per hour. Get in touch to discuss what you’d like to learn.
