I did a course through Spotlight, and it was great! It went for about 8 weeks, and you took in a pattern you wanted to make and materials etc, and they helped wherever you got stuck.

The course i did wasn't the basic one, but they taught me how to adjust patterns etc to fit the person better.

Some people only did sewing in the class, and others did some stuff at home as well. I would do as much as possible at home, so i could get the most of the class in the bits i needed help with.

I made a dress for myself in the class. After the class, i then made 4 dresses (same pattern) for my bridesmaids in 4 different sizes and they all fitted beautifully!

Highly recomended if you want a boost in your skills.

Cheers,

Kate
