Jacqui Blakemore - Sewist, dressmaker and founder

My Story

I have a passion for sewing and in particular, dressmaking. I was very lucky in that my mum taught me to sew when I was a teenager, encouraging me to make everything from cuddly toys and cushions to bespoke dresses.

 

Sewing took a back seat as my career in corporate life took off but around 12 years ago I took a pattern drafting course at night school that rocked my world. Once again my passion for dressmaking was ignited and I was hooked all over again.

 

In 2017 I got the opportunity to make some changes in my life and decided to go back to college to study fashion. At that time I also got my adult teaching qualification and began to share my passion for sewing with others. Since then I have been teaching sewing and dressmaking in face-to-face classes and online. It's amazing and I absolutely love it.

​

There is no greater joy than working with amazing women who begin a class thinking that they'll never be any good at sewing and leave having made a beautiful garment and ready to take on whatever other new challenges the world has to bring.

​

If you have ever thought about learning to sew or make your own clothes but been afraid you won't be any good at it then I'm here to help because I know you can do it

​

If you have tried and got frustrated or things haven't worked out as you planned, I'm here to help because I know how frustrating dressmaking can be but how wonderful it is when, with a little help, you begin to master it (and thanks to some amazing teachers I've had a lot of help too!).

​

Through Sew Much More Fun my goal is to help fabulous people that want to learn to sew discover just how amazing they are and create a wardrobe along the way that fits, flatters and feels fabulous. 

​

So if that's you and you're ready to get started then get in touch and let's do it!
