About April
My passion for sewing and fashion began as a child while watching my mother and other women of their generation use magic to turn fabric into stunning clothing.
On completion of my schooling, I left home in the country to study full time for a tertiary fashion qualification to become a Qualified Patternmaker and Dressmaker in Couture Sewing.
My career immediately kicked off working for several well known fashion labels in evening wear, large sizes and swimwear, found in departments stores.
My roles have included such positions as Design Room Manager and Quality Control Manager of local and overseas production.
I also had my own business designing and producing clothing for personal clients needing garments of a special size, natural fabrics for skin concerns or climate, the perfect wedding dress or to simply look stunning!
Here in Queensland, I have also spent many years involved in Vocational Educational Training (VET), teaching Advanced Diploma in Fashion and became the Head of Fashion at a private college.
My personal journey has led me to establish Sew Teach Me which has been operating for the last six years. I look forward to providing you with my lifetime knowledge and skills to create your own wonderful garments.
Let me help you with Your Journey …
