About your tutor

Lyn is one of our tutors. She has been sewing since the age of 10, taught by her mum and grandmothers who worked in the sewing industry. She loves sewing, predominantly garments for herself to add to her brightly coloured wardrobe! She ran an image training company for 11 years, so she knows a thing or two about what suits your body shape, colouring and style preferences.
