What might you learn to sew?

Our Facebook page shows you what other students have made. During your course, you might work on:

• A couple of children’s garments
• keepsake toys
• One adult garment (or more, if you’re prepared to do homework between classes)
• A cushion with a zip, piping and appliqué
• Alterations to a much-loved garment, if you’ve changed dress-size recently.

You might also want to work on understanding how to measure correctly to fit your shape, learning to read a pattern, or gaining top tips on how to achieve a professional shop-bought finish.
