Alice Wellbeloved

This course offers you the chance to create a complete project in knitwear design. It would be ideally suited to those who wish to extend their textile knowledge into a fashion context, and who would benefit from portfolio-building skills.
You will gain hands-on experience of a range of Fashion Knitwear techniques, including pattern calculation, creating a variety of trims and garment assembly on the machine, the overlocker and linker. You can then choose to accumulate your learned techniques into a final design and garment.

Students must have prior experience of a knitting machine, ideally having completed the beginners course - or similar. Prior experience of garment making is not needed.
