This Dressmaking course will teach you how to make your own unique clothes that fit perfectly and improve your existing sewing techniques. Or alter, repair or upcycle your existing wardrobe for a sustainable approach.
If you have not taken one of my foundation-level courses, please read the ‘Who is this aimed at’ section below to ensure you have the requisite sewing skills.
Dressmaking Course description
Learn how to understand commercial paper patterns and how to find your best size. If you’ve already done a bit of dressmaking, then you can improve your techniques to achieve a better finish. I’ve been dressmaking since I was at school. I’ve also studied Bridalwear and Tailoring so I’ve learned lots of tips and tricks that give your projects a polished look. During this course, I’ll be focussing on teaching technique so your clothes won’t look ‘Homemade’, but ‘Handmade’. No-one will believe you made them yourself. If you’ve already familiar with dressmaking techniques and commercial patterns and you’d like to learn how to alter clothes or patterns, then you can do this here too.
Who is this aimed at?
Dressmaking is about the garment construction techniques and fitting; not learning to sew from outset. You must have strong foundation sewing skills ideally gained in one of Artisan Stitch’s Beginners Courses namely have had practice making at least two or three craft projects, have an awareness of different methods of sewing seams and hems and various edge-neatening methods. Experience of inserting zips and buttonholes is also necessary. If you do not, then I recommend you take one of my Foundation classes first. These are also suitable as a refresher if you’ve got a bit rusty or try the Refresher Sewing Class first to brush up on your machine skills.
