15 hours of intensive sewing lessons, the perfect follow-up to your beginners course.

15 hours of intensive sewing lessons, spread over 5 evenings.
Have you already taken a beginners' course or do you have similar experience? Is the leap into sewing still a bit daunting? In this follow-up to our beginners' course, you'll learn to read, copy, and sew a pattern. You'll learn the basics of making your own clothes and gain the confidence to work with patterns.
You'll make a sweater or T-shirt and a zippered skirt. A top is the third project. If you'd prefer loose-fitting elastic pants or a hoodie, that's certainly possible too.
Don't have enough time for this during the course? Then you can work on it yourself afterward with our videos at the Madeline Academy.
