Dressmakers course

I am excited! I am teaching a regular student the basics of dressmaking today. We will be using New Look pattern 6095 and making style B dress. This dress is the perfect start to introducing basic dressmaking skills. There are darts around the bust and back to contour with a back zip fastening. She will learn how to measure herself as the pattern pieces may not fit her "body size" she usually is. In this case she will be taught how to adapt the pattern to fit. The course will span out over 3 sessions and not to be rushed! After the course we can build up on these skills by making various clothing items, inserting an invisible zip, pleats in skirts and lapels in blazers! The world is your oyster!
