Tutor : Corrie Robinson

I was a professional dressmaker for over 20 years, working from my studio in Prestatyn, North Wales. I specialised in Bridal and Aerial wear, so from satin to stretch. I retired in 2020, so I could focus more on my teaching.

My classes are designed to pass on the skills I learnt over the years. So my students can progress in their own sewing, from beginners to advanced. I have taught with Abakhan fabrics for over 18 years now and have a passion for teaching dressmaking and sewing.

My classes are designed to be fun as well as informative, giving you as much knowledge as I can and helping to further your sewing skills. It’s all about time and practice plus a few handy cheat tips! I love dressmaking and I’m passionate about teaching, so hopefully the 2 combined gives you a great source to draw from, whether it’s making your own trousers to putting in zips. I look forward to seeing you all soon.
