About Studio Arkdefo LLP
We want to bring back handcrafts and the skills that are being lost. Too many courses follow a rigid structure and forget to have fun. It should be fun. Designing your own clothes is empowering. We believe true empowerment and confidence comes from making clothes that fit you. Our courses are based on teaching creative thinking and problem solving techniques. We dive right in and get you designing. Remember, there are no mistakes, just creative solutions waiting to be found!

The course teaches mainly how to draft your own patterns instead of buying shop bought patterns, just working with what you have around at home. I absolutely love the concept! I’ve never drafted my own patterns really before, I did one course when I was a teenager but apart from that I’ve never done that. And it’s really really easy! I really loved the course, completely took the fear out of pattern drafting for me!
Response from Studio Arkdefo LLP:
Thank you so much for this! This is exactly what we are working so hard on - to demystify the patternmaking! So happy you enjoyed the course!Capsule wardrobe: sewing & fashion design course for beginners
I made my first T-shirt and it fits! The instructions are so easy to follow, I can't wait to start making jumpers and trousers. Clothes shopping has always been such massive stress for me, I’m finding excitement and joy in clothing that this 50 year old has never felt before. No more saving the pretty clothes for a special occasion, each day is a special occasion from now on if nicely fitted clothes can make me feel the way I did today. Thank you so much 😊
Sewing & Fashion Design for Kids (~8-12yrs)
My 9 year old daughter has just completed this course and has thoroughly enjoyed it. It has ignited her creative side and she has loved choosing fabric and proudly shows her makes to friends and family. She even had a sideline in selling some of the scrunchies and bags she made! It is a very clearly laid out course, easy to understand and has been a lovely way to spend time together. Since completing the course, she has also learnt how to make masks. Now that she can make some of her own clothes, her next project is planning her own outfit for Christmas! I am very pleased to have found this course as it has provided her with a skill for life.

My daughter really enjoyed this sewing and fashion design package for kids! It's an online resource with workbooks and videos - everything in one place and ad-free. Elizaveta has been very helpful as well and kindly responded to our questions. Would definitely recommend this as a family bonding experience as well!
