Hi and welcome to The Fashion Workshop! I'm Jen, founder and director, sewist, teacher, and lover of fashion. 

At the moment we're redesigning the website so the blurb about our little sewing school has been put aside for editing. In the meantime, here's a bit about me (in case you're interested!)...

I have been sewing for as long as I can remember. I started (like so many others) with stapling and gluing fabric together to create garments for my Barbies and stuffed toys, and after some patient coaching from my mother I was eventually able to make my own clothes. Unfortunately they were not very good! I've always wanted a quick fix when it comes to sewing so if there was a shortcut, I found it.

Luckily at fashion school they were able to tame my wild ways somewhat, and by the time I graduated from Massey University in Wellington with a Master of Design in 2008 I understood the ins and outs of design, patternmaking, and sewing.

This is where the blurb about the company is supposed to go! In the meantime let's just say that 2-years, many business workshops, and a couple of false starts later, The Fashion Workshop was born.

Stay tuned for the rest... 

Is there a garment that you'd like to make that we don't already offer as a workshop? Tell us about it and we'll do our best to offer it!
