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.
