Description

<p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:&#34;Times New Roman&#34;,serif"><span style="font-family:&#34;Arial&#34;,sans-serif">Take your sewing skills to the next level! This course is for learners who have completed the Everything You Need To Know About Sewing For The Beginner-Part 1 course or similar. The course is project based and learners will make <span style="color:black">a snood and fingerless gloves, a lined Tote bag with zip. The final project will be an item of clothing i.e. a pair of trousers, top or simple jacket.</span></span></span></span></p>

What can students expect?

<p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:&#34;Times New Roman&#34;,serif"><span style="font-family:&#34;Arial&#34;,sans-serif"><span style="color:black">Learners will develop their skills with each project.

The tutor will advise and support learners when selecting pattern, fabric and notions. This will help learners develop confidence in making choices about styles and fabrics and lead to independent sewing.  </span></span></span></span></p>
