Can’t find the perfect dress?

Over the five sessions learn everything from how to use and read a pattern to fabric cutting, putting your garment together and achieving a perfect finish.
On finishing the course you’ll be able to use a pattern confidently, put in a zip and use an overlocker (a sewing machine that cuts the fabric while finishing the edges!). You can make it stand out from the crowd by finishing your garment with an optional ribbon detail.
To get the best from this course you’ll need to be able to thread a machine and bobbin and sew a straight and zig-zag stitch or have taken one of our basic sewing skills courses, Basic sewing machine skills and alterations, or one of our Beginners Sewing courses.
