About This Course
Okay, so you already know a bit about making your own clothes. And you already see the benefits of making them to your own unique style and for your own unique body. But, you just want to be able to do MORE. More techniques, more alterations, more making it your own.
Well, we understand. And that's we've created Beyond Beginner Dressmaking: Courses designed to reinforce your existing garment making skills, whilst growing your understanding in other areas; such as sleeves, pockets, pattern alterations, and linings.
In this special 5-week Summer edition, students will get the chance to make the Victoria Blazer by ByHand London; a versatile pattern that can be made sleeveless, with cropped sleeves or with long sleeves.
The Victoria Blazer by ByHand London, which we'll be our canvas for this course. There's a fabulous blog post on this blazer over at What Katie Sews.

Cancellation & Refund Policy
Because of the popularity of our courses and the limited number of spaces available, we've now introduced a Cancellation & Refund Policy. The main aim of this is to make it fairer on those people who have signed up to the waiting list and to try and reduce last minute cancellations. Please familiarise yourself with this policy (below) before booking on this course.
Non-Refundable Deposit
All of our courses and workshops require a Deposit to book your place. The cost of the Deposit may vary, but it will be stated on the online course literature or booking page. Please note that the Deposit is completely non-refundable. If you pay the full course fee at the time of booking, the Deposit portion of that fee is retained as your non-refundable deposit.
Cancellation & Course Fees Refund
If you cancel your booking 14 or more full days before the start date of your course or workshop, you will be refunded the balance of your fees. This is equivalent to your full course fees minus your non-refundable Deposit.
If you cancel within 14 days of the start date of the course/workshop, a refund will only be issued if a replacement student can be found to take your place.
If you decide to cancel your place once the course has started, a refund is not guaranteed. In this situation we shall review the circumstances of the cancellation before deciding on appropriate solution.
