You will be shown the correct way to measure and estimate fabrics, layout, cutting, making-up, pattern matching and hand sewing. In 10 weeks a beginner could expect to complete a piped cushion with a zip or button fastening, and a small lined roman blind. Learners with more experience will work on more complex projects of their choice.
