Course Description

Have you completed one of our beginners’ sewing classes? Are you ready to take your sewing skills to the next level and learn how to make your own clothes? During this five-week course, our tutor Mary Jane Baxter will show you how to use a commercial sewing pattern to create your own pair of drawstring trousers/pyjama bottoms. You’ll learn how to measure your body accurately, choose the right size, select suitable fabric and interpret all the signs and symbols so that you’ll feel confident about creating your own garment using a commercial paper pattern. Learners will all use the same pattern, so that everyone can support each other during the process. NB: You must purchase your own pattern (Simplicity 1563) and fabric in order to take part in this class, and learners will also need to bring a basic sewing kit of fabric scissors, pins, thread, needles, and a fabric marking pen with them to each session. Next steps: do more FREE GCDA sewing courses and progress to the your next level. Please note a £10.00 refundable deposit is required, if this is a problem please contact: training@gcda.org.uk.
