The Creative Couture Studio
*Channel Update* 7/8/25
This channel is currently on a hiatus, while life is life-ing and I decide whether I want to continue. I don't plan on removing the content, at least for the moment, so please enjoy the tutorials and keep commenting. I'll answer your questions where I can. And I LOVE how supportive you all are with each other :0
Big big love, Serefina xoxo

Hello and welcome!
My name is Serefina and I'm a professional designer/maker, specialising in costume, corsetry and fit :)
The Creative Couture Studio (formerly Fina Makes) exists so that I can share my skills in pattern cutting, fit, draping and corsetry- especially for costume, stage and event wear.
I've been in business for 2 decades working across the fashion and costume industries in London, UK and have been teaching people for 10 of those, so you're in safe hands :)
Serefina
