This workshop has been designed to meet the needs of those who want to learn and practise the construction of basic swimwear and soft lingerie. Tutor-led demonstrations will provide the starting point from which to practise and develop your skills and aesthetic values. You will be provided with Size 10 pattern blocks and will be introduced to pattern manipulation and sewing techniques to create simple swimwear and lingerie designs in jersey. Please note that this course will not cover under-wiring or corsetry. Basic sewing skills are required.
