Absolute beginner or experienced sewing bee, we'll have a course to suit your needs.
Our experienced tutors will encourage you to achieve professional results, no matter what your level, guiding you through basic sewing skills and using and drafting patterns to produce individually constructed, well fitted garments.
Lessons are run at our community learning centres across Bolton and at our main Deane Road campus, with day and evening courses available.
The course is brilliant and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed learning new skills and meeting new people. The teacher is very helpful and explains things well. The class room is really well equipped with sewing machines and over-lockers, so we can practise our new skills. My goal is to be able to make a garment from start to finish, and eventually design my own patterns, so I can make clothes for my granddaughter.

I work as a photographer, but always fancied having a go at dress-making so I could make clothes for me and my daughters at home. The course has been really enjoyable and it’s really boosted my confidence. So much so, that I’m now considering launching my own business designing and making clothes.
