General Sewing

These two and a half hour sessions are for those who have completed the beginners course or have those skills and would like to make a garment of their choosing. I will teach how to first cut the traditional way by first making a toile (your garment in calico) fitting your garment and then using the toile as a pattern to cut your fabric. This is the way I make all of my garments, it helps to ensure a perfect fit.

 

Course duration - one 2 1/2 hour class per week for 6 weeks (15 hours).

 

Class size - three students.

 

Cost - $450 (a $200 deposit will be required at the time of booking and the remainder at the first lesson). As the classes are so small make up classes can not be offered if they are missed.

 

Bookings - please call me on 9882 3060 to make a booking.
