What will I learn?


You will be taken through the whole process of making a garment, including adapting patterns to suit your body shape, sewing darts and pleats, inserting zips and lots more in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.


Who is the course for?


For beginners you will be introduced to sewing and given all the information you will need to know to begin your new creative hobby. You will learn about tools and fabrics, how to read and use a paper pattern and how to source the right fabrics. Before you know it you will be proudly wearing something that you made and you will have professional guidance every step of the way.


For improvers, this is an ideal course for those with some sewing experience, wishing to pick up new skills or to improve their sewing ability with plenty of support and practical advice throughout.
