Dressmaking | Intermediate
Why this course?
This course is designed for those who know their way around a sewing machine and want to push their sewing skills further. Students have greater freedom to select their project and try their hand at making either a simple tailored jacket/coat, a waistcoat or pair of jeans.
Please bring large and small sharp fabric scissors, pins, a tape measure and thread to match your fabric. Students are welcome to bring chosen fabric/sample to first class (either a corduroy, denim, suiting, wool or felt. No stretch fabrics please). Interlinings and linings will be discussed in class. Please budget £50-100 for fabric.
Tutor: Rosie Carne
In addition to the cost fees, students will be required to purchase their own material, pattern and sewing sundries.
