Start dressmaking and sewing or improve and develop your skills. Course ideal for beginners and also suitable for improvers wishing to further develop their sewing skills and work on more complex patterns and techniques and difficult fabrics.
Create clothes to fit perfectly, womenswear, fun childrenswear, menswear, anything from pyjamas, skirts, dresses, tops, evening wear to jackets or coats. Alternatively create lovely unique craft items, for example bags, toys, bunting, cushions, curtains, roman blinds or a project of your choice. Learn about fabrics, using a pattern, seams, hems, darts, pockets, zips, seam finishing and interfacing.
It is recommended you start with making a skirt, simple trousers, pyjamas or children's clothes if you have not made clothes before. Then you can progress to making fitted trousers, tops or dress as examples.
Pattern and materials required. Advice and information will be given on booking.
Some basic knowledge of using a sewing machine required, but no previous garment making knowledge necessary. The ‘Learn to sew – The basics’ is an essential starting point for absolute beginners. Suitable for those wishing to get back into sewing.
