Dressmaking 6 weekly sessions

Over six weeks we will cover:
Choosing a pattern and fabric
Measuring yourself to ensure a good fit and some basic pattern adjustments
Reading and understanding patterns and cutting out
How to insert a zip
Types of seams and neatening
Sleeves, cuffs, buttons and buttonholes
Each week will have elements of learning techniques and of completing your own garment.

What to bring:
Sewing machine (or use one of the shop machines)
Sewing kit (sharp scissors, pins, needles, tape measure, pencil and notebook)
In the first week we will discuss patterns and fabrics and we’ll begin making up your project in week 2 so you don’t need to have chosen your pattern and fabric to begin the course.
