Skill Level:  A minimum of 10 hours sewing experience is required to enroll in this course. You can confidently use a sewing machine to make accessories (eg. tote bag, cushion cover) and simple clothing items (eg. box top, pj pants). This is a great class for students who have completed one of our short or term-long Beginners courses or intensives (or equivalent), out of practice sewists who want to brush up their skills, and self taught sewers who wish learn more formally. Men are encouraged to join our friendly group! Open to adults and young adults (minimum age 15yo)

If you do not have this level of skill or experience,  we recommend attending our next Learn to Sew Intensive on Saturday 25th April as a prerequisite for enrolling in this course. We also offer Short Learn to Sew courses (10 hrs) and Term-long Beginners courses.

Course Content: This course focuses on using commercial sewing patterns to make your own garments.  Constructing garments from patterns of your choice, you will develop a wide range of dressmaking techniques.

We can offer you suggestions for good sewing patterns  for your skill level if you are unsure about what to make.
