A great course to get from idea/pattern to a finished product (or close to finished). The atmosphere is supportive and kind, and the tutors super knowledgeable so they can help at every level. My only suggestion would be to set up a course for complete beginners, with a basic garment and step-by-step instructions, as I sometimes found the more complex information overwhelming at my level. A little glossary of terms, to take home, would be helpful too - selvage, seam allowance etc :-) Thanks again for a fab endeavour and course!

I loved this course. I got a really good start on how to cut patterns and put together my own clothes. Can't wait to do more. Thank you Jen and Francia

I would recommend this class, was very enjoyable learning dress making skills . I found the class stimulating in a relaxing environment. I will definitely be looking out for other classes.

I really enjoyed the dress making course and learnt so many tips and techniques from Monika ,our tutor. Monika is knowledgeable, patient, fun and a great teacher and gave us so many tips about pattern fitting,sewing and dressmaking. I will definitely be returning for future classes at Remode Collective.

Very good class. Small class size means lots of personal attention. Monika is a great teacher. Went from never having used a pattern to being confident enough to adjust it a bit. Would thoroughly recommend Monika, this class and Remode Collective.

I did the 4 week dress making course and loved it. I learnt so much in a short space of time and Cécile was such a fabulous teacher. I liked that the classes were small which meant Cécile could give us all good 1:1 help when required. Highly recommend

Love learning from Monika! A lot to take in in 4 weeks - feel I've hardly started my garment! Maybe some guidance about best to have your own sewing machine! I do have but it's very old and doesn't really do what is required, eg zigzag stitch. Will sign up for another course but that all adds to the cost of the garment.
