Spaces available.

The Dressmaking courses are suitable for sewing abilities from beginners to improvers and are designed

to be creative and fun, in a relaxed and very friendly atmosphere. Each student learns and works at their own

pace by making a dressmaking project they have chosen to suit their ability i.e. a tote bag, an apron, a top,

blouse, shirt, dress, trousers, jacket or coat.

You will learn:

use of your sewing machine, thread choices, needle sizing and different feet.
use of an overlocker machine for advanced students.
how to choose a suitable commercial dressmaking pattern and correct sizing.
how to choose suitable fabrics for your project, and widen your knowledge of fibres and fabrics.
taking measurements, altering the pattern, pinning, cutting out and fabric marking methods.
use of interfacings and linings where appropriate
a wide variety of sewing methods, techniques and fitting help to assemble and complete your garment.
