Have you always wanted to make your own clothes and choose your own fabrics but not sure where to start?

Perhaps you feel you need guidance on how to insert a zip or create darts, tucks or gathers? This course will enable you to carefully work through your own set of pattern instructions. It will teach you how to read and interpret each stage of making your unique garment. You will get 1:1 guidance at each stage, allowing you to skill up your sewing techniques and build your confidence for future projects. Choose your pattern, choose your fabric and let's get started on your journey.

This course is aimed at those who have some knowledge of using the sewing machine (even if a little rusty). Guidance can be given on appropriate fabrics and meterage required for your pattern, once you have booked your place.
