Dressmaking and Soft Furnishings

Starts	Wednesday 17/09/08
Time	19.30 - 21.30
Length	11 weeks
Term Price:	£85 (£65 concessions)

This course is structured in such a way, that you can develop your skills in dressmaking or soft furnishings or whatever you fancy sewing, with prior knowledge or you can start from scratch. Basic dressmaking allows you to create garments from patterns and to finish them with a professional touch, so if you’re looking for the solution to that “nothing to wear” problem, perhaps you could make something to wear instead. Not only will you save money on clothes but all your outfits will be individual, unique and exactly as you would like them.

For those who would like to experiment whatever your sewing ability, you could learn how to make cushions, to pipe, frill, pleat, make button holes and insert zips. You could also learn to make pelmets, tie backs, valances, blinds, plus Christmas ideas. A variety of appliqué techniques will be demonstrated with lots of ideas for boxes, table and bed linen, waistcoats, cushions, quilts and pictures.

This course is taken by Sally Beer, who is happy to advise students on the equipment needed and if you have attended previously, Sally will work with you to develop your skills with whatever you wish to make. Students will be advised on the first evening of the materials needed but equipment to buy is kept to a minimum. Care and maintenance of the sewing machine is the owner's responsibility.

Sally also runs day time courses at Carnation Hall, Winkfield. For more details, ring Sally on 01344 882528.
