1 to 1 tutoring is ideal if you have a specific project/fabric/style in mind. If you have spotted a Hat/Headpiece that you would like to make you will receive undivided 1 to 1 attention to help you to complete that project. It is advised that you consult with me first so that I can prepare the lesson specifically for you.
Have you recently purchased or inherited a sewing machine? The next step is to get to know your sewing machine.

At the end of the day you should feel confident to thread your machine, select the correct stitches and tension and beginning your sewing project at home.

This service is ideal for those who have already attended a workshop or class and need a refresher. It can also serve as a short lesson for a specific technique.
You may be a Milliner who has attended workshops/classes elsewhere but need to broaden your skill set.
This session can be tailored to your needs – maybe you need to ask a different set of questions about the business side of things. I can help you with sourcing products, getting labels designed and produced or advice on applying for grant aid.
This service is not intended to replace attending a workshop or course. There may be certain elements that can be taught using this method. Please contact me with your query and I will advise if it can be solved via a video call.
Group Bookings/Bridal Parties
I have many requests for special Weekend workshops, and/or workshops in other locations, for groups. If you would like to book a course for a corporate day, a school event or a group such as a bridal party, I would be delighted to talk to you and design a workshop to meet your needs.
Millinery Workshops for Bridal / Hen parties have become popular – they offer an alternative to action packed activities and you get to take a beautiful, unique, fascinator or headpiece away with you.
I recommend about 2 to 2 and a ½ hours for your workshop.
Flower Crowns have been a popular option in recent times which lend a lovely festival theme to your special weekend with friends.
Bookings need to be made about 8 weeks in advance at least. Please contact me for details on prices and group sizes.

quality & standard of Niav’s online tutorials. I would highly recommend this easy-to-follow tutorial with its chapter-by-chapter approach.
Niav is extremely generous with her wealth of knowledge and experience and delivers it in a very comprehensive & pleasant way.
I look forward to signing up for more classes!
