Say Hello to Pattern Cutting and Sewing tutor Justine
We are super excited to have found Justine to join our team here at Millie Moon.
Justine has been running some fantastic new workshops with us, specifically in pattern cutting but more sewing workshops coming soon!
Hello Everyone,
Born in Paris, I am a trained costume maker and experienced seamstress with a passion for pattern cutting, tailoring and hand embroidery. I have a curiosity for everything related to fabric & textile.
I previously worked for prestigious fashion houses in Paris, during the ‘ready to wear’ and Haute Couture fashion weeks while also working for a streetwear brand and some emerging theatre companies.
I came to England seven years ago to be a junior embroiderer for a haute couture fashion house based in London.
I now find myself in Somerset with the desire to teach everything I have learnt along the way. I see how more and more people are inclined to make their own clothes, and how this feeds into a sustainable approach to fashion that also align with certain political outlooks – something I am completely on board with.
I believe that we cherish and appreciate a garment that we have made much more, because time and effort have been put into it – it encourages originality over conformity and quality over quantity. Clothes are also always more comfortable when tailored to our unique body type.
I started tutoring at Millie Moon in June 2024 and I have instantly loved the community that Rachel and Becki have created around sewing and the shop. Randomly, I seem to be teaching pattern cutting more than sewing but I love pattern cutting, and it’s a great way to help people make clothes that fits really well.
Hope you meet you on a workshop soon,
Justine xx
