Learn to make your own unique clothes that fit perfectly on this six week morning course starting on 13th November with Artisan Stitch!
About Dressmaking Course - Mornings
Wednesdays 13th November to 18th December
This 6-week dressmaking course will teach you basic dressmaking techniques so you can make your own clothes. You’ll be able to make unique clothes that fit perfectly. I’ll coach you along the way in the following:
How to choose an appropriate pattern for your level of ability,
Taking measurements, cutting and fitting the pattern, understanding pattern markings and instructions
Altering the pattern for a perfect fit
Sewing tips and techniques to achieve a professional finish
This dressmaking course will give you enough time to make a two or three simple garments such as a skirt and a top. But perhaps you’ve already done some dressmaking and would like to tackle something a bit trickier? It’s always reassuring to have help and advice to hand. I can also show you how to copy a favourite garment. Or we can do a bit of pattern cutting so you know how to make your own patterns (experienced dressmakers)
You’ll need to bring your own pattern, fabric, matching thread, plus any interfacing, zips/buttons etc which you require to complete your project. Please bring a basic sewing kit of fabric shears, sharp embroidery scissors and pins. You’ll also need a notebook.
If you’ve already got some dressmaking experience, then I can help you improve your techniques to achieve a professional finish.
The class size comprises no more than 5 students so I can give everyone lots of individual attention, focusing on your own personal project and how I can help you develop your particular skills.
If you’d prefer to make clothes for your children instead of yourself, then you can do this here too.
Most other Dressmaking courses are teaching you to make the same project as everyone else, at the same time. However, I believe in actually teaching you to sew. So you learn all the foundation skills and can apply them to anything you want.
Level: Beginners – Experienced
(tuition is personally tailored so you learn at your own skill level and pace) You must be able to use a sewing machine confidently, be comfortable handling and cutting fabric, and be able to sew straight accurate seams. If not, then why not try one of my Beginners or Refresher classes first to learn these foundation sewing techniques.
Artisan Stitch has won a certificate of excellence and is rated best sewing classes in Edinburgh.
While we take every opportunity to ensure the details for Dressmaking Course - Mornings are accurate, we always advise that you contact the event organiser before setting out for the event to avoid disapointment.
