Choose from five carefully curated projects, each designed to strengthen different aspects of your sewing practice - from bagging out a jacket lining to mastering pleats or buttonholes. With expert guidance and a supportive studio environment, you’ll develop your skills while creating a beautifully finished piece that reflects your growing expertise. In this Level Up session you'll develop skills in adjusting the rise, adding a patch pocket and creating an elasticated waistband.
