Deright Fashion Academy: Learn to Sew in Manchester

Have you ever wanted to learn how to sew, cut, and construct your own African and occasion wear? At Deright Fashion Store, we don't just create bespoke fashion — as a leading tailor in Manchester UK, we're passionate about passing on our craft to the next generation of designers and tailors through the Deright Fashion Academy.

What Is the Deright Fashion Academy?

The Deright Fashion Academy is our hands-on sewing and tailoring training programme, run seasonally from our Manchester studio. Whether you're a complete beginner or already have some sewing experience, the Academy is designed to build real, practical skills you can use — whether that's for a hobby, a side hustle, or a future career as an African tailor.

What You'll Learn

• Fundamentals of garment construction and machine sewing
• Pattern cutting and measurement techniques
• Working with African fabrics like Ankara, damask, and Aso-Oke
• Constructing key pieces: kaftans, agbadas, and occasion wear
• Finishing techniques for a professional, ready to wear standard

Who Is It For?

Our Academy welcomes:

• Complete beginners with no prior sewing experience
• Hobbyists looking to level up their skills
• Aspiring tailors and designers wanting hands-on training
• Anyone interested in African fashion and craftsmanship

Why Learn With Deright Fashion Academy?

Unlike generic sewing classes, our training is rooted in real bespoke experience. As a working tailor in Manchester UK with customers across the UK, Nigeria, and worldwide, we teach the same techniques and standards we use on our own bespoke and ready to wear orders — not just theory, but skills that are genuinely in demand.

Our small class sizes mean you get hands-on guidance throughout the programme, learning directly from experienced tailors rather than working through generic tutorials alone.

When Does the Academy Run?

The Deright Fashion Academy runs as a seasonal programme from our Manchester store, with intakes announced throughout the year. Spaces are limited to keep the training hands-on and personal, so early registration is recommended once dates are announced.

Ready to Learn a New Skill?

Whether you're looking to sew for yourself, start a small business, or build toward a career in fashion, the Deright Fashion Academy gives you a genuine foundation in African tailoring — taught by a working African tailor, not just an instructor.
