Course review:

Learn how to make your own clothes from scratch, that actually fit! Spend two consecutive Sundays with our wonderfully talented seamstress, Pam Sayer, who has a solid 20 years’ professional dressmaking experience under her belt. Pam will teach you how to construct a fitted top using a commercial pattern as your starting point, but tailoring and customising it to fit and suit you perfectly.

You’ll learn how to measure yourself, how to read and use a commercial pattern. You’ll learn how to adjust the design to suit your shape, size and preference. Pam will take you through cutting, fitting and altering. You’ll set in sleeves, insert a standard zip, put in a facing and learn how to hand-hem, before finishing and pressing to achieve an impressive, professional look!

You’ll need to purchase 2 metres of your chosen fabric (light to medium weight poly-cotton or 100% cotton fabric would be best), a spool of matching thread and a 10” matching standard zip. The pattern and all other materials are provided. Please bring a packed lunch for the day or there are some lovely cafe’s around if you’d like to pop out. (tea, coffee and soft drinks will be provided).
