Kelda studied fashion design, including pattern making and garment construction, at The Whitehouse School and at TAFE in the late 1990s. She had her own clothing label for over 10 years, designing, manufacturing and printing women’s and children’s fashion. Kelda has made costumes for films and children’s television as well as furnishings for events, exhibitions and school performances

In 2008 Kelda started teaching sewing in her own studio to teenagers and adults. She knows that there’s nothing like the satisfaction of making your own clothing and home furnishings. She will teach you all the shortcuts to save time when sewing to allow you to finish garments to a high standard.

Kelda loves unusual and quirky fabrics. Designing or finding a new pattern and making it her own is always exciting. When she’s not sewing, her other passions are baking, pottery and spending time with her family and friends. She loves learning anything creative.

Kelda believes that everyone can sew. You just need the right teacher and to have fun while you do it!
