Celebrating My Sewing Students

Let’s Meet Tina

As a sewing tutor, I am constantly in awe of the creativity and skill of my students.

Tina has been taking the Advanced Sewing Course with me for the past two seasons and has truly blossomed in her creative sewing style. Brazilian born, Tina has a natural eye for combining colour and pattern and a passion for creating fashionable pieces with fun and flair.

Each week Tina arrives in class with a selection of new garments she has sewn up on her Brother Innovis during the week, in addition to the design she is working on in class. It is a joy to encourage her passion for fashion, design and creativity.

Her husband, sister and friends are extremely encouraging of Tina’s talents. Her sister thought the pink suit she made in class was bought from a boutique.

Tina’s willingness to take risks and try new things is inspiring, and it always pays off. As a tutor, I encourage all of my students to push the boundaries of what’s possible in sewing, just like Tina does. If you’d like to see more of Tina’s work, you can follow her on Instagram at @tinawelshclothing

The Red Suit

Tina is learning the technique of ‘block fusing’ her waistband pieces for her Vogue trouser suit, and how to make a ‘fly front zip’. Before each class ends, I review what has been sewn and offer additional sewing steps to progress at home.

Has Tina Inspired You To Start Sewing?

Colour and Cloth teach all levels of Sewing Courses and Workshops so no matter what level you are at, there is no better time to start than now. How to sew styles like Tina, starts with learning how to thread your machine and then you are on your new creative journey. The New dates for our Advanced Sewing Course are ready for booking as well as the Brother Innovis sewing machine range which Tina sews on.
