Course Content

If you like to make your own vibrant, floral or floaty Spring dress, top or skirt, then this is the course for you.
This course will give you the skills and confidence in reading a commercial dressmaking pattern to create a summer garment of choice. You will learn key techniques, construction processes, and terminology, whilst exploring fabric types and finishes to make your garment.
This course is suitable for those who have a basic understanding of the sewing machine, and would like to learn how to construct a basic garment efficiently from a commercial pattern. Alternatively, for those with some experience in garment making and would love to extend these skills further by developing a more complex design and range of techniques.
