Meet Jeni England 🪡
Savile Row trained tailor, educator, and one of our brilliant contributors to The Manchester School of Costume.
With over 15 years of experience, Jeni brings serious technical skill and a calm precision to the studio (even when the rest of us are buried under fabric). She’s the founder of Ctrl:Stitch, where she specialises in tailoring, alterations, and sewing and is currently developing her own ready-to-wear and made-to-measure collections.
A few fun facts about Jeni:
🐕 She’s got two dogs: Noodle (an ex-racing greyhound) and Frankie (a rescued lurcher with main-character energy).
🧘♀️ She’s also a yoga teacher and personal trainer.
🏔️ And after years in London, she’s now happily based in the Peak District.
We’re so lucky to have Jeni teaching traditional tailoring on our 12-week Costume Making Course: sharing her craftsmanship, calm expertise, and love of good stitching with our students.
