Course description
This 3-week evening course is an ideal follow-on from our beginner machine sewing course, or for anyone with basic sewing machine skills who wants to start making their own clothes. Learn how to read and understand commercial patterns and the foundation techniques for dressmaking while making a cosy pair of pyjama bottoms. Included in the price is a Simplicity commercial pattern with various his/hers nightwear designs which you can take away and re-use. You will learn how to understand and adapt patterns to get a perfect fit. Plus, get to grips with waistbands, hemming, joining straight and curved seams, and pattern matching to achieve a professional finish. Just bring 3 metres of your choice of fabric and a sewing machine if you want to use your own. Taught by experienced teacher Lauren, there is a max of 6 students per class, and each student has an individual workstation. This class is designed for students with basic sewing machine experience and taught on your machine but if you do not have access to one we have some available for hire for £10 for the course duration. The class will run from 7pm-9pm over 3 weeks at our High Street location. Maximum 6 students each with separate workbench. Sewing machine hire and sewing kit included, although you are welcome to bring your own if you prefer.
