"This course is ideal for those new to clothes making who want to learn the fundamentals of garment construction in a supportive and practical environment. Working step-by-step, you will create a simple garment using a pre-provided pattern while building essential sewing skills.

The course will guide you through pattern layout on fabric, marking techniques, and accurate cutting methods. You will develop key construction skills, including sewing neck facings, finishing armholes, sewing darts and applying seam neatening techniques to give your garment a clean, professional finish.
