Course Content

This is a classroom-based, workshop-style, learning experience.

You will build upon and consolidate your prior knowledge by working through a range of textile projects developed by the tutor to grow basic skills step by step.  Confidence and practical ability will develop as techniques and processes are learned and embedded.

Practise using the controls and functions of the sewing machine by constructing textile items. Further embed and grow knowledge of grainlines, cutting skills, simple paper patterns, and basic pattern markings.

Learn new sewing techniques.  Develop and embed construction processes.

Tutor demonstration, advice, guidance, and practical support will be given throughout the course.

You will need fabric, threads, haberdashery.

There are sewing machines and some sewing equipment for your use at the centre, scissors, pins, etc., however, you may wish to bring your own sewing tools and equipment. If you bring your own sewing machinery it must hold a current PAT test certificate. The tutor will need to see evidence.

Assessment Method

This is a RARPA based course, assessment is carried out though building of a portfolio and taking part within tasks matched to the individual’s personal targets.

RARPA stands for Recognising and Recording Progress and Achievement which is the process of assessment for non-accredited learning. It is a means of validating the outcomes of programmes which do not result in qualifications. RARPA is a five-stage process which measures and records learners’ progress, achievements and attendance.

Where can it lead?

You could progress on to further crafting, sewing and pottery/ceramics courses.
