Dressmaking courses teach participants the fundamentals of garment production, beginning with choosing the desired pattern and the fabric onto which you will place it.

These courses tend to run for about ten weeks in total; students are normally advised to choose a simple pattern to begin with so that they can concentrate on following pattern instructions.

Over time they will learn how to cut and lay out pattern pieces, cut fabrics, and get to grips with basic sewing techniques.

Not only is dressmaking a creative, expressive and productive hobby, but it can also act as a source of extra income as clients ask to have items customised, created from scratch or repaired.

Investing in a class can also help you save money down the line: learning how to make your own clothing can greatly reduce the expense of garment shopping on the high streets.
