How does it work?
Garment Makers Question Time is a series of on-line video classes designed to help you learn skills, build confidence and make well fitting beautiful garments that you will love to wear.
Each month you will get a new class teaching you about a specific garment. We will start with tips for how to choose a pattern that suits your body shape, and discuss which fabrics might be suitable. Philippa will then teach and demonstrate the techniques you will need to make the garment, discuss how to modify it to fit, and give you options to make it individual to you.
All the classes are pre-recorded videos which you watch on line.
As a member you can watch them as often as you want, whenever you want.
Monthly membership costs £12 per month, and gives you access to a new class every 30 days.
Over 12 months you will learn a wealth of techniques and skills to enhance your garment making.

Who is Philippa Naylor?
Philippa is best known in the sewing world as a quilt maker and teacher, having won many international prizes for her quilts and being a sort after teacher.
But long before she started making quilts, Philippa worked as a clothing designer in the British clothing industry and then had a business creating bespoke evening wear and wedding dresses. In fact she credits the skills she learned making couture garments with her success as a quilter.
Having spent the past two years developing a popular series of on-line quilting classes, she has now returned to her first love - garment making.
Working from her Yorkshire Studio which she shares with sculptor husband Peter, Philippa is creating a series of on-line garment making lessons with the goal of helping everyone to be able to make "beautifully crafted, well fitting, individual clothes that you will love to wear."
