Gloomy February? Not at all.....

Hello Atelier Class students!

A new monthly NEWSBLOG to let you know what's gong on at ATELIER -  news about the sewing and pattern cutting classes mostly, plus goings on at my wedding dress business, and the parallel 50/50 recycled and new fabrics wedding and event dress business called ecoEureko, and as many other things fashion and clothing related that I have time to tell you about.......

This is a new thing I am starting up - an online newsletter, to let you know that the grey February gloom doesn't necessarily mean that things are gloomy!

In fact, I have a little present for new students in the shape of 2 free hour long classes.

Most people find that a two hour class is a good length of time, but you are welcome to come for hour long classes - whatever suits your schedule and budget.
 So, for this 'one time' offer, if you pay in advance for 5 two hour  lessons,  (10 hours), you can have an extra lesson (2 hours) free, if you make an advance booking. This works out at £150 for the 6 two hour classes, instead of £180.

Of course, the 'pay as you come' classes are exactly the same as before, £15 per hour, £30 for a two hour class, with pattern paper, basic sewing threads and tea and coffee inclusive.

In case you have a friend or relation who may be interested, this is just to remind them that all you need at first are:  fabric scissors, dressmaking pins and an unpicker. Ask them to ring or email me (go to the contact page) for more information.
And one last thing on that front - don't forget that I welcome students of all kinds, old, young, very experienced or total beginners - everyone has a different way of working and learning, and I love to discover the best way for each individual.  Please see the home page of my Atelier website for a bit of my personal and work history.


So, as a bit of a shortcut to latest developments for me, please see my blog on the Atelier wedding dress website: http://atelier.blog.bobbiesroom.co.uk and why not join me on Facebook (if you do that sort of thing?!) I put regular info and posts up there connected to fashion, art and music.

Lastly, please don't forget to check out our (myself and collaborator Rachel David's) ecoEureko website for bespoke wedding and event dresses, (designed and made from at least 50% recycled fabric with new fabrics), which is still under construction, but quite viewable unless I'm working on it, in which case, try a little later.

Please be a follower of this blog, (if you have any of the accounts that let you do that), by clicking on the link at the top right of the page, and please add a comment at the end of this blog, if you have a little time to spare.
