If you want to build your dressmaking and tailoring skills in the company of a small group of dressmaking enthusiasts, guided by professional seamstress, Claire Humphries, this is the course for you!
Over the course of 6 sessions you will work on your own particular dressmaking projects. Each week there will be a short learning session according to the needs of the group e.g. zips, button holes, collar, pleats etc…. This will be followed by time to work on your own project with Claire on hand to guide you.
The course is aimed at those wishing to improve their dressmaking. It requires you to select a commercial pattern which you will be able to adapt to fit requirements. Use this course to extend your skill, tackle a pattern that’s more complex than you might choose for yourself, or something that includes features that take you out of your comfort zone. Claire will ensure you achieve a professionally executed project.
***YOU WILL NEED TO ENSURE YOUR MACHINE IS IN WORKING ORDER IN GOOD TIME BEFORE THE DAY – CHECK YOU HAVE ALL THE RIGHT CABLES & ANY ATTACHMENTS***
Please note that this course is not suitable for those wishing to create a pattern from an existing item of clothing. The level of support required to translate an item of clothing into a workable pattern cannot be provided in this format.
