Lareen Anne Morris Clothing Alterations And Sewing Tutor

The Mary Quant exhibition has opened this week at the V&A; to celebrate they have had this dress pattern made and you can download for free using the link below: https://www.vam.ac.uk/…/sew-your-own-ma ry-quant-style-minid…

Look at these beautiful jersey cardigans which were made using MY pattern in class at @sewbusyfleet #lareenannemorrisdesigns #sewbusyfleet #learntosew #makeyourownclothes

It's lovely seeing a project coming together when you've put your heart and soul into it. #lareenannemorrisdesigns #indiepatterns #makeyourownclothes #sewforaliving #sewbusyfleet

Not only am I teaching this course but I've designed and made the pattern too...

Very excited to be in our new classroom for this morning's dressmaking lesson #learninginlibraries #learntosew #fleet

Got to love a simple "lift at the shoulders" alteration...no gems will stop me 😂 #prom2019 #chrystalboutique #bespokealterations #sewforaliving

What do you do when a lace sleeve needs to be made 3/4 length but has a scalloped edge...just move it! #bespokealterations #yearsofexperience #qualified #ginabacconi

Some lovely classes coming up at sew busy...

Using all my skills whilst working on something very different for this commission...using my (slightly temperamental) 5 thread coverstitch machine to give a professional finish #bespoke #swimwear #design

I take real pride to ensure the altered garment looks exactly as it did originally. On this prom dress I have shortened 14 jewelled straps and they look like they haven't been touched! #bespokealterations #promdresses #chrystalboutique

A good way to end this week's sewing work with a zip replacement...I couldn't offer this bespoke service of exact zip style, colour and length without William Gee's Haberdashery UK

This morning has been all about tracking down missing parcels! I do love a happy ending

My Washi dress sample is finished. Lots of skills can be learnt making this dress; pockets in seams, neck facings, bias binding, shirring and a beautiful dress. #learntosew #shoplocal #washidress #sewbusyfleet

Making up the sample for Monday's washi dress class @sewbusyfleet , it's like 2 classes in 1 as you will learn how to use shirring elastic #sewbusyfleet #sewingclasses #shirring #washidress #greatbritishsewingbee #learnanewskill

Finally the wait is over...

I'm very excited to be working on a small production order of bags this week which will be off to Paris next week #smallproduction #madeinengland #bespoke

My dressmaking course is available to book online...

Haven't posted one of my sketchbook creations for a while...todays is "chickens" #sketch #chickens

Not only did Lareen do a fantastic job of adjusting my daughter's prom dress, she also gave us tips on how best to get into it and how to wear it! I didn't even know if it would be possible to tighten the heavily beaded straps, but Lareen was completely unphased and the end result is a perfectly fitting dress. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Lareen transformed my other halves tweed trousers and converted them into shorts for an event he's going to (Chap Olympiad in London). They look wonderful and we're really pleased with the end result. Highly recommended and would definitely send other items your way! Thank you ever so much!! x

I was looking for someone local to me to take in a dress that I'd bought, which was too big for me on the top. Lareen did an amazing job and I'm very pleased with how the dress looks! I'll be sure to recommend her to anyone I know who needs alterations done!

I think she brilliant, I recommend mend her highly,

I recently booked a "one to one" with Lareen to focus on inserting zips, something I've always had a problem with. Lareen was patient, informative and most of all extremely kind. We kept on practicing until I had totally got the hang of the process. I cant recommend her highly enough, she's an excellent teacher with a relaxed, natural approach.

Great job and quick turnaround time - would highly recommend
