Description

A welcoming one-day sewing workshop for learners who are confident in using a sewing machine and want to develop their skills through self-directed projects, with tutor guidance and support throughout the day.

Our experienced tutor can provide guidance on techniques such as pattern cutting, fitting, and troubleshooting construction challenges, helping you develop your skills with confidence.
