Description
This course is aimed at people who want to develop a range of sewing skills, whilst also considering how these can be used to make money or improve your employability prospects. No previous experience in the subject is necessary. We will start from the assumption you have few (if any) skills in the subject. However, we will be looking to develop more than simple practical techniques. During the course we will explore how you can plan, design and develop ideas and approaches that will result in beautiful garments and that may lead to employment or the possibility of making money in this fascinating subject.
