Course description
What will I learn?
Our fun, practical course will ensure you become confident making garments to fit. You'll reach a high level of competence using commercial patterns, plus choosing fabrics and styles that compliment you. You'll also have the opportunity to learn the skills necessary to refit and restyle purchased garments, and learn to use the sewing machine and other tools. You will make at least one garment to fit using either commercial patterns or refitting/ restyling an existing garment. You will learn to alter patterns to suit size and shape. You'll learn about design, style and a variety of sewing techniques. You will collect a folder of handouts, notes and details of garment making techniques.
What do I need to know?
Previous sewing experience is necessary to participate on this course. You must be familiar with threading a sewing machine and know how to work with simple commercial patterns. Experience of fitting garments would be an advantage but is not essential
