Dressmaking
Your tutor - Rebecca
The dressmaking course opens a world of possibilities for making clothes. Start with a straightforward design to help build your confidence and you will learn...
- how to read a dressmaking pattern
- the tools you'll need to be successful
- the importance of grainlines
- how to take your measurements
- how to choose a pattern size
- and much, much more
Whether you are new to dressmaking or want to extend your skills this will be a great course for you. From the second half of the first week you will be working on your own project with individual, targeted support from Rebecca.
At Sew & Tell you are free to choose which pattern you wish to make
Rebecca will guide you through the different stages helping you to understand the instructions. You only need to bring
- your own sewing machine
- your chosen pattern (message us if you would like to check if it's suitable)
- your fabric (pre-washed and ironed)
- thread
- it is also advisable to bring a basic sewing kit
Come on, let's get sewing!
