Dressmaking Courses | Beginners to Advanced
Making your own clothes is easier than you think — and more rewarding than you imagined. Our dressmaking classes teach you how to use (and adjust) commercial patterns to sew garments that fit your shape and style. We will guide your through every step from pattern and fabric selection to seam finishes.
Are Dressmaking & Sewing the Same Thing?
In our courses, dressmaking refers to the construction of complete garments using commercial patterns. While the terms sewing and dressmaking are often used interchangeably, we use dressmaking to describe classes that focus on garment assembly, construction order, fit, and professional finishing — bringing individual sewing techniques together into a finished piece.
