What's included in the price?

What will I learn in the 4 Weeks? For those with prior dressmaking experience, this course provides an opportunity to refine your existing skills and craft garments with a polished, professional touch. You're welcome to bring fresh fabrics for inspiration or repurpose beloved textiles from your own collection. What should I bring? - Bring your own sewing machine and kit.  Your machine must be a standard domestic machine in good working order. Your machine will need to be PAT tested in advance of the course.  Please liaise with The Dart Centre Team to arrange this. - Your own fabric, patterns and thread. A basic sewing kit would prove useful, the cost of which will vary according to your project.
