Kim Elliott has been a freelance fashion designer, design consultant and senior designer for many years and was head of design at Monsoon and Coast. She has a BA in Fashion and Design and she’s very highly regarded in the industry.

Her passion is sustainable fashion and teaching creative, imaginative ways of sewing, repairing and reinventing clothes so as to have fun recreating what you already have and not to keep buying and throwing cheap clothes.

Kim did a course of children’s workshops over the Summer which were wonderful and she’s going to do a few more this September and October.
In the short time I’ve know her I’ve quickly gathered what ball of fun and lively energy she is (not in an annoying way).
She’s enthusiastic, approachable, smiley and very personable, as well as being multi talented and highly skilled and trained. She has the children mesmerised and immersed in sewing, illustrations, embellishing, up cycling, hand sewing, sketching, whatever they want to.
Even though the the ages are 8 till 12, Kim is flexible about this.

All the machines, fabric and trims are provided and you may also bring your own item of clothing to decorate or re purpose.

Most of all it’s fun and enjoyable and Kim is lovely to be around. Kim’s also going to be doing workshops for adults. Here are the dates.
