This friendly and supportive class will teach you all the key skills & processes in garment construction: cutting out, piecing together, fitting, stitching, pressing, the correct & safe use of tools and equipment, understanding & adapting commercially bought patterns and choosing styles & suitable fabrics. You will sample a variety of techniques throughout the course, in addition to working on a garment of your choice- generally in a 10 week class, beginners should be able to make a simple dress, top, skirt or trousers , and begin to work on a second garment. More experienced learners will be encouraged to work on garments with greater complexity, and using different construction methods.
