Hey there!

I'm Lottie Lee-Gough

Pattern cutting and sewing specialist, and lifelong champion of handmade wardrobes that empower and inspire.

I still remember standing in the fitting room at M&S, staring at the mirror and feeling defeated. The clothes didn’t fit—not in the way I needed them to. They pinched here, gaped there, and left me wondering if my body was the problem. But I knew, deep down, it wasn’t me. It was the system.

 

That moment didn’t just ignite my sewing journey—it planted the seed of something bigger. The realisation that creating clothes by hand isn’t just about fit or style—it’s about reclaiming control, celebrating craftsmanship, and stepping away from the wastefulness of fast fashion.

 

Over a decade of sewing, teaching, and professional training at the London College of Fashion, I’ve deepened my craft, honed my techniques, and committed myself to helping sewists of all levels master the art of making clothes they love. Clothes that fit beautifully, wear effortlessly, and honour the creativity, skill, and care that go into every stitch.

 

For me, sewing isn’t just a functional hobby—it’s an act of artistry, a quiet rebellion against mass production, and a way to connect with the stories our clothes tell. When you create your wardrobe, piece by piece, you’re not only building something truly your own—you’re stitching together the softness of sustainable fabrics, the artistry of slow fashion, and the joy of wearing clothes with stories woven into every seam.

 

The Completely Custom Academy is about more than sewing skills—it’s about helping you rediscover your confidence, your creativity, and the joy of making something that truly belongs to you. Together, we’ll celebrate the craft, the process, and the incredible things you can create with your own two hands.

 

Let’s rewrite the rules together. Oh, and while we’re at it—let’s craft your perfect wardrobe.

Testimonials

“Lottie is a fab teacher - calm, considered and so knowledgeable. 

Would really recommend this to anyone who’s fed up with trying to fit from patterns that are designed for ‘off the peg’ bodies and feeling disillusioned with all the time and energy it can take.”

Sally

"She exudes calm, even over the internet, and shows how fitting is just a process, a series of simple adjustments with no names or labels attached to them, one step at a time.  The classes were an opportunity each week to slow down and focus. The 1:1 sessions were an opportunity to explore personal fitting issues (body) and “gremlins” (mind). I now have a library of tutorials via the facebook group I can refer to when needed and the monthly mindful sewing sessions to remind me to enjoy the process.”

Tracy

“Lottie explained everything in easy to understand terms and it was way less scary than the books made it seem. I feel it was a great time in my sewing journey to learn to fit before I made any more unsuccessful garments. 

If only I knew how simple it was before starting.”
