You'll learn to modify commercial patterns to fit your body and create well-fitting garments. The Fashion Loop offers a unique method that empowers you to adapt patterns independently once you've grasped it.
Start with simple garments for adapting, cutting, and sewing. As your skills grow, progress to more advanced designs, each featuring techniques applicable to various garment types.
If you're new to sewing, consider joining our Beginners Sewing Foundation Course to learn the basics.
Throughout the course, students will:

• Explore numerous garment-making techniques
• Construct toiles and craft garments using their chosen fabrics
• Build confidence and independence for personal projects

Mastering the art of sewing and crafting garments to a professional standard requires both time and consistent practice. To maximise your learning experience in this course, we recommend dedicating time between sessions for practice.
Students are required to bring:
- Notebook/sketchbook to take detailed notes
- Fabric scissors – (don’t worry if you don’t know which one to choose, we can help you)
- Other course materials will be discussed throughout the course.
The group size is restricted to 4 students to allow for each student to receive individual support.
