What happens in this class?

You will begin by constructing a simple skirt pattern tailored to your own measurements. Then you test and tweak the pattern by making a calico 'toile' before making a skirt in your chosen fabric.

Throughout the course you will learn about fabric, pattern cutting, sewing and designing as well as many small details which make your skirt a success. You are encouraged to work at your own pace and to develop your own style.

I’ve learned about creating a pattern based on my own measurements and have created my first custom made to measure blouse with help from my lovely instructor. I highly recommend this class for anyone new to dressmaking or anyone who needs a refresher on making ones own garments in a friendly environment.
Nams Shah - 22 November 2019
I did the initial ' Getting started with your sewing machine' over 2 evenings and loved the experience so much I went onto joining the Dressmaking courses. Sam and Christina run a great club feel - so alongside the social element I was also learning so much each week. Thoroughly recommended!
Anna Kalyan - 21 November 2019
Great class! It’s small and intimate, with all equipment provided except for your choice of garment and pattern.. The teacher Christina is really helpful and very experienced. This enables you alter outfits if the formal pattern doesn’t quite suit your requirements, so you end up with a garment that fits well and is just for you. I really look forward to my Monday night class and would definitely recommend it.
