In X's fashion courses, you will learn everything about creating fashion; from the basic skills you need to design and create something, to the more advanced approach in the course where you learn how to design an entire collection with the whole creative process around it.
This is a technical fashion course in which you will learn the basics of sewing with the sewing machine and working with patterns. You will learn how to cut and sew an item from a basic pattern, how to lengthen, shorten or widen the pattern and how to sew edges and hems. You will also learn to pin fabric, what seam allowance is and how to work with it, sew zips for a purse and sew a basic pocket.
During the course, you will make, among other things, a tote bag with a sewing challenge and a basic, cropped or oblong T-shirt.

This course is perfect for you if you have taken a fashion course before and/or have basic knowledge of how to pin, cut and sew an item from a pattern. This is a technical course in which you will learn to design and edit a basic pattern for a tailored basic top or basic trousers. Based on a sample model you made, you will perfect the fit to your own size. After you have finished the top or trousers, you will delve into figure seam manipulation techniques that you will apply to your garment.
If you have advanced sewing knowledge and have taken design courses before, it is also possible to enrol in this course to receive guidance and advice on a personal project.
