Are you gettin’ crafty? Sewing classes in London

Are you gettin’ crafty? Sewing classes in London

At Fashion Antidote we often focus on industry based courses, specialising in professional level courses in Pattern Cutting and Garment construction. But this doesn’t mean that we don’t support and teach home dressmakers, crafters and seamstresses too – in face we have a big range of classes in subjects such as Learning to Sew, Making simple garments and sketchbooking.

 

 

These courses are great for hobbyists and crafters, looking to start making, or get a better finish to their creations. And there’s no reason why these subjects and skills can’t be transformed into a business too, come and polish off your skills with us and get some business consultancy about turning your crafting passion into a viable business.

#newyearnewskill

If you’re looking forward to the Christmas break more for the time off of work than the mince pies, then maybe a change of direction is in order. 



Your new office?



At Fashion Antidote we know that a career change can seem frightening, and retraining can seem like a huge undertaking. We get lots of enquiries from professionals who are unhappy in their career, sitting behind desks when they’d rather be in front of a sewing machine, using a mouse rather than a pencil and paper, and we aim to make their transition and training as fuss free as possible.

·         Our courses are taught in a number of deliveries, including evenings and weekends

·         Longer courses can be paid for in instalments

·         We run Fashion Business courses and offer 1 to 1 consultancy to help your business grow

·         All our courses are bookable online with PayPal

Pop into the studio and have a chat with Course Leader Susan or myself, Vicky, and we can advise you on the ideal course for you. Do you want to learn to Pattern Cut to work for a Fashion Label? Would you like to learn sewing and construction skills to be a self-employed seamstress? Do you dream of learning Couture skills to do bespoke work? Would you like to develop and launch your own Fashion Label? Come and see us and see what you could learn.

The January Skills Training Programme - NEW SKILLS FOR THE NEW YEAR

NEW SKILLS FOR THE NEW YEAR

Our successful Skills Training Programme starts again for January, offering a comprehensive schedule of intensive, essential, industry level fashion skills. 

Learn to sew from scratch, to draft your own patterns to specific measurements, to make garments such as shirts, skirts, dresses and trousers. See HERE for some of our previous students on the Programme, their THOUGHTS on the course and what they ACHIEVED during the course. For more info on booking and payments see the WEBSITE.

Are you a Budding Designer?

The programme is the perfect alternative to a fashion design degree, covering all the necessary fashion construction skills and knowledge to make your own clothes and collection. 

Dreams of Dressmaking?

If you want to be an expert on Pattern Cutting or Garment Construction, or want to learn all the ins and outs of making your own clothes from scratch, then the Programme is the perfect choice. You can tailor which elements of the course suit you best, and the delivery that fits around your schedule; daytime, evening or weekends.

Nurturing Entrepreneurs

With a full course of technical, industry standard skills and techniques, followed and supplemented by a business course and one to one advice and support, the Programme has everything you need to get started as a small fashion business.

NEW SKILLS FOR THE NEW YEAR

We know how it is. With Christmas fast on the approach, everything else gets left on the backburner. Yoga classes can wait, scrap the pricey no-carb-only-green-and-eco eating regime and don’t even think about that recycling pledge. The pressures of Christmas can be a bit daunting, and tend to take over our lives at this time of year. The result of which is a rather jolly, indulgent few days, but inevitably a rather slimmer bank balance, slightly tighter belt and that vague air of guilt over what we’ve forgotten or neglected.

And the appropriate solution to this post-Christmas slump is full set of sturdy New Years Resolutions, thought up with the best intentions, but all too soon forgotten as life gets in the way. 

So how about a resolution that you can stick to. Something that will not only take the sting out of the after Christmas guilt but also provide you with lifelong skills and a new talent, maybe to help further your career, to get ahead at uni, to start your own business, or even save you a few pennies.

 

Come to Fashion Antidote and learn to sew. Save money by learning to make alterations, or make your ownclothes, and unleash your creativity on your wardrobe. If you’re after a career in fashion we have professional level technical courses in Pattern Cutting, Garment Construction, Styling, Design and Business. Add these skills to your CV and get that job, or progress from an amateur dressmaker to having your own small fashion business.
