Sew-in-Summer
Enjoy a relaxed learning environment and pick up new skills in dressmaking and sewing. These informal sessions have been specifically set up to enable existing and new learners to extend their sewing skills during the summer.

So often people have the best intentions to sew frequently, between courses, but then they get stuck on something specific, and items remain unfinished.

This mixed ability setting, enables learners to gain inspiration from their peers whilst obtaining essential knowledge and information from their tutor, thereby allowing them to move forward.

This course is suitable for anyone who wants the chance to sew and increase their knowledge and skills in regard to dressmaking.

The course is open to all. Beginners are welcome, but so are advanced dressmakers who are already able to draft their own patterns.

Please bring along your own project to work on during the session. We also advise that you bring your own sewing machine along, so that you gain experience using it.

If you are unable to bring your own machine, please let us know at enrolment so that we can prepare one for you.

Steam-generated irons, overlockers and a cover stitch machine will be available to use during the session.
