Make either a pencil skirt or Aline skirt and learn many techniques in this sewing course delivered in our studio in South London.

We’ll cover many different dressmaking techniques to create a finished and wearable item. Through this sewing course, you’ll learn that there's never just one way to do things in dressmaking (and you don't always have to stick to the rules!). We want to encourage you to find your own personal way.

  • This course is suitable for complete beginners who have never used a sewing machine before or those who have basic knowledge but want some practical dressmaking guidance. You can work at your own pace, we have plenty to keep you occupied whatever your level.

  •  1.5 - 2m of medium weight woven fabric (eg cotton, linen, medium weight denim, cord etc) and an 8 inch invisible zip the same colour of your fabric.
