Tailor Made:
Tailoring and Pattern Making Classes

Build your sewing skills and learn to tailor clothes for a perfect personal fit!

This 10 week course will enable you to adapt, remodel, or sew your own clothes.  Whether you dream of making your own vintage costume, creating a trouser pattern for pants that really fit, or have a wardrobe full of clothes that were bought for a different body shape... This class will provide you with the tools and expert tricks to wear your style your way. 

For those who are keen on flat pattern making, this class will give you the chance to create your own custom 'blocks' and develop your own unique designs.
