About Us
The Alison Victoria School of Sewing is the largest independent sewing school in the UK, attracting students from not only all corners of the UK but from all over the world. The School of Sewing has a permanent base on the first and seond floors of 'Fabulous Fabric', my wonderful fabric shop, based in the heart of Ashby de la Zouch, Leicestershire, close to all motorway links. 2009 also sees the publication of my first book "The Book of Sewing" published by Dorling Kindersley.

The School of Sewing has two teaching rooms, one on the first floor and one on the second floor of "Fabulous Fabric". This means that some days we can have two classes running and I have recruited some of the best teachers in their respective field to teach for me.
City & Guilds level 2 qualifications are also available in Fashion, Lingerie, Tailoring and Corsetry.

All the workshops taught are of a highly practical nature with samples or part garments/creative items made by all students. Class size is limited to a maximum of six students per class.
