Are you feeling a bit more like you know what you're doing with dressmaking but you're not quite feeling up to our intermediate course? This is for you. For advanced, or confident beginners, this course takes you one step further than our beginner level course.
Over 6 evenings, you'll make two garments: a pair of elasticated trousers and a button up blouse. We'll spend a bit more time looking at the fit of these, and we'll look a bit more at interfacings, and more advanced techniques, including buttonholes!
You'll go away with finished garments, and the patterns and skills to make more. Patterns are included but materials are not. There may be some homework between sessions.
This class takes place every other week on a Tuesday evening from 6.00 - 8.30pm. The first class is 13th February 2024, and following dates are 27/2, 12/3, 26/3 9/4, 23/4

“I passionately believe in passing on sewing skills and knowledge so that more people can make their own fashion and furnishings and realise it’s a pastime that can be fast, fun, fashionable and affordable. With today’s modern equipment and sewing machines it really can be easy to sew and I love to share that fact.”
