Couture Courses

 

One-day Couture workshops are suitable for all levels of sewing ability. Due to the small number of students individual help and guidance is always available.

The hands on experience and knowledge are designed to give confidence and know how to approach various sewing projects. 

Courses fall into four categories:

1, Essential foundations, 
2, Difficult fabrics, 
3, Tailoring techniques and 
4, Couture pattern and fitting.
