Join me in my Yorkshire studio for my transformational on-line dressmaking classes.
I have created a series of video classes where you can learn everything you need to know to make beautifully crafted, well-fitting clothes that you will love to wear.
Choose from three class series:
Transformation series - 12 classes to grow your skills and confidence.
Twelve classes and twelve different garments - each one building your skills and confidence as you learn the techniques to make beautiful clothes which fit you perfectly.
Pocket series - Patch pockets, In-seam pockets and Welt pockets.
Three classes covering the techniques you will need to draft your pattern, cut out, sew, press and finish multiple versions of each type of pocket.
The Chanel style jacket
- create an iconic jacket you will love to wear
With a range of distinctive features the Chanel style jacket employs exquisite detail and the highest couture level techniques - all explained and demonstrated in this comprehensive class.
For New Dressmakers
If you have some sewing skills but have never made your own clothes – these classes will give you a thorough grounding in all the most common techniques.
For Experienced Dressmakers
If you are an experienced dressmaker – but want to learn better techniques and improve your results – these classes will help you take your skills to the next level.
Build knowledge and confidence
Starting with basic skills, and simple garments, Philippa will increase your knowledge and confidence as she teaches you exactly how to cut, sew, press and finish every aspect to get the best results.
Understand the principles
Not only will you be able to watch her carry out each technique, Philippa will explain why it is done that way – and what options you have. So not only can you apply the technique but you understand the reasons behind using it.
Please note: Due to retirement - classes will no longer be available for sale after 31st August 2026. All classes must be watched before 31st December 2028
after which time the videos and classes will no longer be available.
How do the classes work?
The classes are all pre-recorded on-line videos which you watch in your library on our website. Each class includes 4 or more hours of video instructions and demonstrations.
Watch the classes when its convenient for you.
Each class is divided up into short 10-15 minute sections. So you can watch each video at a time which is convenient to you, when you have the time. And you can come back and watch the video again and againÂ
Start when you are ready and work at your own pace.
There is no 'start date' or 'end date', you simply work through the class at a pace which suits you. Lots of our members watch the classes all the way through once - and then come back and watch them again as they are making their project.
Build up a library of techniques you can refer to again and again.
Please note: Due to retirement - classes will no longer be available for sale after 31st August 2026. All classes must be watched before 31st December 2028
after which time the videos and classes will no longer be available.
Plus… Â
You will get access to our exclusive, members only Facebook group.
The GMQT Facebook group is such a valuable resource all on its own. Ask a question and usually within a few minutes a number of members will have responded to help you. Its great fun to post pictures of your garments and to see pictures of what everyone else has made. We are a very encouraging and supportive group, so you will just love being part of it. Â
