In person classes

Do you want to learn lingerie design in a class? I run all the one-to-one online courses in person. Based in rural Leicestershire I have space in my studio for one to two people, with groups bigger than two I can head to you (within a radius). I can teach four for brief making course, three for bra making and two for grading or simply can do one-to-one.

Requirements - if you are wanting to learn to sew briefs, soft bras or underwire bras and I am heading to you, you need access to a sewing machine. I will bring the patterns and fabrics. Regarding grading, you don’t need anything I can bring everything.

Each course will run approx four hours - please use the contact form below to ask for more information or to discuss times.

As a general guide prices (plus travel if I am heading to you) Brief making course: £300 (1-4 people), Soft bra making £350, Bra making £425, Grading bras and briefs £375

TESTIMONIALS

Laurie's lingerie course was informative and inspiring, which offered detailed steps on how to create a garment. I would 100% recommend.

Storm year 13

I would highly recommend this course to people interested in textile and fashion design, or even to someone who just wants to take a fun course. I loved the course, as it felt really motivating to achieve a well structured outcome, that I could proudly say I made. Laurie also taught me the process and steps needed to make a final outcome that I wanted. Also I loved the lace!! I would recommend this course as it was fun and gave me knowledge of working with fine lingerie fabrics. Laurie gave me ideas through the workshop that has made me rethink what I might choose to study at university. It was impressive that we created a final outcome by the end of the four hour workshop. The briefs I made were fun and enjoyable  to create and look good and fashionable.

I really enjoyed the course with Laurie. My favourite part was picking fabric and seeing the end result. I would definitely recommend. Its has made me want to look at more fashion degree courses.
