Textiles & Fashion: Sustainable Garment Making and Alterations
Come and join us to discover the wonderful world of garment-making and alterations! On this friendly and supportive course our focus is on developing your garment making knowledge and techniques, rather than making a specific item or garment. We are going to cover a variety of altering techniques and recycling ideas as well to help you to use what you already have to save money and the environment. The course will give you both the confidence and the skills to calculate how to create costings and profit margins if you plan to take sewing or altering further and decide to work for yourself.

Singing:
If you enjoy music, then this course is for you! We will be doing some listening and moving to music. You may like to follow some of the rhythms in the music and play or sing along.
There will be some old favourites for you to enjoy and maybe even remember the words. We may learn something new, just to give ourselves a bit of a challenge! We may even compose our own songs! But don’t worry, there will be plenty of help to make this easy! No experience is needed to take part in this course. Taking part will lift your spirits and make your heart sing!
The Reaching Out Programme classes are open to people living in the community that can have their needs met by the class. This is a class for people with a learning disability.
