Many schools within the NACED Adult Education network offer evening classes in sewing, dressmaking and fashion design for beginners and improvers.
During a typical dressmaking or fashion design course you will be guided through every aspect of making a garment that you can wear yourself, from buying and cutting your pattern; choosing, cutting and matching fabric; assembling your garment; inserting zips and pockets; right through to finishing the final item.
Beginners will be shown how to set up and operate a domestic sewing machine, thread and fill a bobbin and fix basic machine problems. You can also expect to learn how to do pleats, buttonholes and a variety of seams.
Some courses also cover repairs and alterations to existing garments.
