Digital Pattern Library is an online fashion school based in Cardiff. Through our membership, The DPL Atelier, we teach people to design, pattern cut, fit and sew their own wardrobes. Our members are committed home sewists from the UK and around the world who want to learn from people who know their craft inside out.

We're looking for guest experts to deliver live online masterclasses. You might be a pattern cutter, tailor, costume maker, fitting specialist, textile artist, fabric specialist, fashion illustrator, designer, stylist, photographer or slow fashion practitioner.

We're open to your ideas. The best sessions share one specific skill, technique or way of thinking that members can take straight into their own projects, complementing the tutorials already in the Atelier. Previous guest experts include Cara Heath Creative.

What's involved:

One 60-minute live session on Zoom, including member Q&A
A short planning call beforehand
Date agreed together, usually a weekday evening around 7pm UK time
The session is recorded and kept in the Atelier library for Premium members

Fee: £150

Dates: This is part of an ongoing series, with one guest expert in each learning cycle: January to April, May to August and September to December. The deadline to apply is 23:59 on Friday 4 December.

Who can apply: Anyone, anywhere, who can teach confidently online. Emerging and established practitioners are welcome, and you don't need previous online teaching experience. Masterclasses are delivered in English.
