This course is designed to help students develop the necessary skills to make any bespoke garment. We work closely to help the student develop everything they need to know in order to set them up for success for completing our garment making courses or pattern drafting course.

 

Beginning with the proper use of the needle and thimble, the student will learn each hand-stitch used when making either men’s or women’s wear garments. A thorough explanation is given on the proper use of the industrial sewing machine for both straight stitch and overlocking.
