A step up from our Beginner Course, Bernie’s Improvers will work you through basic sewing patterns and learning cutting skills.
Over the course of the 5 weeks, you will learn how to create a simple garment and gain confidence to alter your own clothes. Patterns will be provided but feel free to bring your own, ensuring it is suitable to your ability.
In week one, Bernie will talk to you about the type of fabric you need to buy for your chosen pattern, which will be needed for week 2 of the class.
Some of the topics covered will be:
- how to cut and pin fabric using a simple pattern.
- how to sew straight seams and finish them.
- how to insert a zip and finish a waistline.
- understanding a sewing pattern including their mysterious language and symbols and much more.
Limited sewing machines are available so please do bring your own if you have one. Indicate at booking if you require a Duncairn machine.
