This course is a natural continuation from the first dressmaking course held at Ash Farm. Using the well fitted blocks created on the three day course, Helen will teach you how to adapt your patterns to create a garment, or garments of your choice. This will include dresses, tops and skirts. (Not trousers.)
You will delve a little deeper into a range of pattern cutting skills, to help you realise what you can achieve using some simple and more advanced techniques.
Day One will be focused on pattern cutting and sampling some of your ideas in calico.
Day Two, you will start to work on your final garments. Helen will help you check your patterns, before cutting them out in the fabric of your choice. You will then spend time preparing your garments before starting to construct them with Helen’s help and guidance.
Day Three will be focussed on construction of your garments. Helen will be offering many professional tips along the way to help you create your unique, well fitted garments. Every little detail will be covered in this unique and exciting dressmaking course.
Before the course, Helen will be on hand to discuss the ideas you have and what types of garments can be achieved, so that you get the most out of the course. This can be via email or video call.
Material costs: £30 with all calico, paper, interfacing and a zip.
All bookings are made through Sian’s website here.
