huge host of sewing skills, including understanding,
maintaining and setting up the sewing machines, the absolute
basic stitches, to more skilled techniques such as inserting
sips, attaching waistbands and making gathers, frills and
button holes. The 1 day courses cover all these essential
skills and more in 1 day, from 10 – 4.30, and the longer

daytime courses cover even more techniques, such as various
zips, elastication, and various hems.
