Make either a pencil skirt of Aline skirt and learn many technices in this sewing course delivered in our studio in South London.

We’ll cover many different dressmaking techniques to create a finished and wearable item.

Who’s it for?

This course is for absolute beginners who have never used a sewing machine before or those who have basic knowledge but want some practical dressmaking guidance.

Through this sewing course, you’ll learn that there's never just one way to do things in dressmaking (and you don't always have to stick to the rules). We want to…

Things to remember

You’ll need:

1.5 - 2m of medium weight woven fabric (eg cotton, linen, medium weight denim, cord etc). The fabric must be washed before you use it. A normal 30-degree wash is perfect.
An 8 inch invisible zip the same colour of your fabric, you will need this…

What happens if I need to miss a week?

To get the most out of the class we recommend that you attend every week however we understand that things crop up. We offer 1 catch up session during our Sewcial class which runs on a Tuesday morning or a Thursday evening fortnightly.

Is there parking?

All the roads around the library are free to park on.

How big are the class sizes?

We like to keep our classes small so that everyone has enough teacher time. We generally have a maximum of 8. If there are more people wanting to join the class then we will have 2 teachers to make sure everyone still has enough teacher time.

Do you have all the equipment that I need?

Yes, we have everything that you need but feel free to bring in your own machine and equipment.

A great course, you come away with a step by step booklet and pattern for you to make your own skirts at home. The group was small so I think everyone had the support they needed. Lots of very useful hints and tips too! Loved it!

This course was so much fun, and so friendly. I found the fabulous Kate to be a wonderful teacher: so precise, helpful and encouraging. I have gone from hapless novice to confident sewer within a few short weeks. I would highly recommend Make Mee courses to anyone who wants to start sewing lovely things for themselves.
