Cut Make & Trim Course - Learn to cut and sew a garment from a ready made pattern..
Cut Make & Trim Sewing Course
Working from a Pattern (all levels)
Had problems making a garment from a pattern you have purchased or maybe you're just too daunted to attempt it alone? Work through the entire process in a small class setting. The course will take you through taking accurate measurements, reviewing the pattern size/tolerance and the sewing process before cutting and sewing a final garment.
This course is suitable for beginners but you do need to have some experience of using a domestic sewing machine. It's a perfect follow on course for students who have completed either of the beginners sewing courses.
Within a group of a maximum of 4 students, you will be given lots of 1:1 support and guidance on progressing at a pace and level suitable for you, helping you to produce well-finished garments you can be proud of. Please ensure you select a pattern suitable for your ability - e.g. beginners - PJ bottoms, shorts, a simple skirt or sleeveless top. Please make contact prior to the first class if you need advice on choosing a pattern for your level. If you are using rare or expensive fabric it is recommended that you make a toile/mock up in calico or another suitable fabric.
These classes are also suitable for students who have produced their own patterns during one of the courses or independently. If you want to make your own patterns to use on the course please see the pattern cutting course here
All tools and equipment are provided including calico for toiles if required. You will need to bring your own pattern and enough fabric for the final garment. Please contact Lisa in advance if you need help choosing a pattern, buying fabric etc.
