Introduction to women's wear Pattern Making with Stephanie!
In addition to designing and producing our collection, SAWRAP offers short face-to-face pattern-making courses for beginners and advanced students. My beginner course is aimed at students with little or no pattern-making experience.
Our 6-week course runs two days per week Monday & Friday for 3 hours, which offers you the skill set to apply for creative pattern making in further education.
Start date: Mon 06/01/2025 - 21/02/2025.
The course consists of making a basic bodice block, dress, skirt, sleeve, and trouser Block. However, all pattern-making activities will be demonstrated using UK size 12. Additionally, 1/2-scale blocks will be used.
After completing this course you can move on to our advanced pattern-making course.
Please bring with you: Good paper scissors, fabric scissors, tape measure, unpicker, needles, pins, thread snips, calculator, pencils and pen.

RETURN AND REFUND POLICY
Unfortunately, our classes are non-refundable.
We are passionate about creating the perfect learning atmosphere for our students. Due to our small class sizes, it is very difficult to transfer your booking to a different date. If you can not attend a class notify Stephanie at least two weeks before the class starts, so she can fit you in on another date which commerces after 6 weeks, but this is not guaranteed. Please give Stephanie as much notice as possible to increase your chances.
If a class is forced to cancel, Stephanie will endeavour to give you as much notice as possible and offer either a full refund or swap your booking to another suitable date.
