2.5 hour lessons every week where you get to work on your own project ideas. It works by you bringing your own project to work through with tutorials and guidance step-by-step with me.

You can also choose to learn about a specific garment. This time I am going to specialising on: Trousers. Self-design options include one of these two waistbands:

- Elasticated waistband

- Belt looped waistband

And for the trouser style you can choose two:

- Harem (baggy crotch)

- Tailored (can be tailored from the knee up, or knee down)

- Flared

If you have designs/patterns to start from, that's great! Otherwise we can brainstorm or look through the TNSS pattern library for designs and patterns that suits you. I will then create a pattern for you to start from. We will work through:

- Altering patterns to your measurement & style

- Adding details such as pockets

- Full construction You work at your own pace and will be given help and tutorials individually whilst working and sharing together in a group setting.

You'll also have free access to our Sunday open days from 12.00-18.00 to use our sewing machinery and space for this & other projects. With some sewing advice but not tutorials or walkthroughs.

In 36 hours, you'll learn how to drape like a designer, hanging and pinning fabric together to sculpt your design in real time.
