About this event

Are you fed up using a commercial pattern that doesn't really fit you properly? Learn to measure yourself accurately and create your own bodice, sleeve 'block' and calico 'toile' - for the perfect fit! During this session you will create your own bodice block to take home.

From this individual block you will discuss the skills to sew your own calico bodice and sleeve 'toile', checking for fit and adjusting block/toile where necessary. You will discuss how the block can be adapted to create other styles/designs in the future. Intermediate dressmaking skills are essential for this course. .

Catering for all sewing enthusiasts, from beginners to experts! All of our courses are held in our state-of-the-art classroom which is situated in house in our shop! Our classroom hosts a fantastic range of good quality tools and accessories, with each customer having the use of one of their own Juki sewing machine and overlocker for the duration of their course, so no need to worry about bringing your machines in!

For the majority of our courses we provide absolutely everything required to complete that course, all you need to do is turn up! Upon booking you will receive an email containing booking confirmation along with information for specific course requirements, if there are any!

Our courses are held most days, either half day courses or full day courses. We cater for a maximum of 6 on each course, we believe in quality over quantity, occasionally we feel 6 is too many!

Whilst our courses remain fresh and change from one month to another, we welcome new ideas for courses which customers feel they would be interested in for the future! Please ensure you read the terms and conditions for course bookings!
