If you want to learn more from Philippa, she teaches a series of 12 online garment making classes through her website www.gmqt.co.uk. Each class focusses on a different garment and takes you through the entire process of making it. Philippa originally trained as a clothing designer and worked for many years in industry designing lingerie and wedding dresses. She follows what she calls her 'Slow Sewing' philosophy - which in both quilting and garment making translates to taking her time, and making a few, high quality pieces.
