9-Week Sewing Series
Foundations, Garment Construction & Your Own Bodice Block
Beginning in the first week of February 2026. This 9-week sewing series offers a gentle yet comprehensive journey into sewing, garment construction, and introductory pattern drafting.

Across the series, you will:
Weeks 1–2: Sewing Foundations
• Learn the essentials — seams, pressing, hems, darts, facings, seam finishes
• Gain confidence using your sewing machine and tools
• Complete simple practice pieces to develop good technique and accuracy
Weeks 3–6: Skill Building & Garment Construction
• Explore new techniques: zips, pockets, gathers, bias binding, fit adjustments
• Begin constructing 1–2 garments of your choice with step-by-step guidance
• Understand commercial patterns, cutting layouts, grainlines, and fabric handling
Weeks 7–9: Pattern Drafting & Your Own Bodice Block
• Draft your own bodice block using your personal measurements
• Learn basic patternmaking: adding ease, manipulating darts, simple design variations
• Apply your drafting skills to refine and personalise your garment projects
• Finish your pieces with clean, professional techniques
By the end of the 9 weeks, you will feel confident in your sewing practice, have completed garments you’ve created yourself, and leave with your own custom bodice block, a foundational tool for future sewing projects.
