This is a five week course to introduce you to dressmaking skills, from laying of the pattern, cutting and assembling your garment. A basic knowledge of using a sewing machine would be of benefit. You will learn how to measure and fit your garment, and also finishes touches, zips and button holes. This course will start on Wednesday, 15th June 2016, 6:30-8:00pm and is open to adults who are just starting with this creative craft. The classes are held in the Portsmouth Academy for Girls. You would be required to bring with you a commercial pattern (easy to intermediate ability) fabric and cotton of your choice and pins. If you have a sewing machine you are more than welcome to bring this along to use, otherwise we do have machines here for your use. For full information contact Sue Green on the details provided. ;
