Wednesday evenings from 14th September to 7th December.
Led by Stitchery Founder Cassandra Belanger, this is a 12 week, in-depth introduction to making your own clothing. The course is intended to equip you with a comprehensive set of basic skills that you can develop and apply to a range of clothing types. Learn how to use a sewing machine, work with paper patterns, and understand different fabrics. Practice basic techniques on small samples, then apply them to constructing a garment. Students will be walked through the process of making a garment with sustainability in mind. We’ll talk about fibres, textile production, and textile waste amongst other important topics. You will be encouraged to develop a practice of zero waste sewing. Finally, you’ll make your own unique garment from a selection of curated patterns in a fabric of your choice.
This is a beginner level course, which means it's suitable for absolute beginners, or anyone with limited experience who wants to firm up the basics.
