👗 DRESSMAKING SKILLS BUILDER – DAY WORKSHOP

If you’ve been sewing for a little while and you’re ready to take your dressmaking to the next level, this focused one‑day workshop is the perfect boost. It’s all about building the skills that make the biggest difference to how your garments look, feel, and fit.

Across the day, you’ll work through essential techniques that lift your sewing from “homemade” to “handmade with confidence” — cleaner seams, sharper edges, neater facings, tidy darts, accurate stitching, and beautifully controlled finishes. You’ll learn how to slow down, refine your approach, and get results you can be genuinely proud of.

It’s friendly, supportive, and ideal for confident beginners who want to improve accuracy, technique, and overall garment quality.

I just listened to this podcast and thought some of you may find it interesting, so I thought I would share.

It’s a peek into the life of a fit model — honestly one of the stranger jobs in fashion — and it explains so much about why sizing is the way it is.
