The Lowdown

A dressmaking course will make you the belle of the ball in no time. Armed with just a sewing machine, needle and thread and your fabric of choice, you can live out your designer dreams. Use your friends as guinea pigs or just create something fabulous for yourself. Learn how to sew a hem, fit a zip, and go crazy with frills and ribbons. Gone are the days when making your own clothes consisted of your granny knitting Christmas jumpers for the entire family. These days dress making classes cater to the most cutting edge of styles.

The Crowd

A dressmaking course could appeal to you for any number of reasons. Ethical worries about how bargain retailers make their garments, environmental concerns about how readily we throw clothes away, or just wanting to save a bit of money are all great reasons to start doing it yourself. On top of that you have the chance to make something truly unique for yourself. Worrying about arriving at a party in the same dress as someone else will be a thing of the past. Plus dressmaking courses are one of those really fun things to do in London; a great way to meet people and exchange ideas. 

The Cost

TasterLab will give you a great introductory offer to a dressmaking course. Outside of that your main expenses will be the fabric which can be as cheap or as expensive as you like and a sewing machine. You can get an economy machine for just £100.
