Fancy yourself as the next Dior or McQueen? Then my new 'How-To' guides are the perfect place to start. My career as a bespoke dressmaker and fashion tutor has spanned 15 years and in these videos and guides I want to pass on all the tips, tricks and expert techniques you'll need to do everything from simple alterations and quick-fixes all the way through to making a dress from scratch using the age-old technique of draping on the stand. Sign-up for updates below or check out the Silk, Thread and Tears blog for the latest projects.

"Ellie’s comprehensive knowledge and fun approach to learning make these videos a must-see for the design stars of tomorrow”
