Introduction to Dressmaking

On this course you will take an in-depth look into different dressmaking techniques as well as understanding how they work and how to attain the perfect finish, building your confidence or just brushing up on your skills. Discover notches, darts, facings, buttonholes, zips, working with stretch fabrics, how to read and understand commercial patterns, with a view to making a basic garment to end the 4-week block.
