WHAT CLASS WOULD YOU RECOMMEND AFTER THIS ONE?
You could try one of our other Beginner’s Dressmaking classs such as make a Simple Shirt or if you are particularly interested in Trousers you could take our Trouser Making Skills class which covers more intermediate level techniques such as a fly zip fastener, pockets and a waistband. If you also want to design and make your own trouser rather than use a commercial pattern we have a Pattern Cutting for Trouser class.
