Explore the pleasure of dressmaking in this sewing class in Stafford, where you’ll learn how to create your very own me-made wardrobe in a relaxed, supportive setting. This course is all about enjoying the process of making clothes step by step, with plenty of guidance along the way.
This class is ideal if you can already operate a sewing machine but feel new to dressmaking. You don’t need any previous garment-making experience. Everything is explained clearly, with time to practice and ask questions, so you can build confidence as you go.
What to expect:
  • Learn how to take accurate body measurements and understand body shape (Week 1).
  • Find your correct pattern size and making simple adjustments (Week 1).
  • Prepare fabric and understand lay plans (Week 2).
  • Cut out fabric and read pattern pieces with confidence (Week 3 onwards).
  • Sew different seams and learn essential dressmaking terminology.
  • Pressing techniques for a professional finish.
  • Make and complete your first handmade outfit!
The course runs over six evenings, giving you time between sessions to practice at home. Classes can be booked in flexible two-week blocks throughout the year, making it easy to fit around your schedule. Once booked, you’ll receive fabric and pattern suggestions, including beginner-friendly dress designs with no fastenings and handy pockets.
By the end of the course, you’ll leave wearing your first handmade outfit, feeling confident, inspired, and excited to continue your dressmaking journey with skills you can use again and again.
What you'll get
  • A wearable handmade outfit!
  • A host of new sewing skills.
