This is a great course for those with some previous sewing experience who wish to enhance their current skill level

It is ideal for those who have already completed the City & Guild Sewing Machine Skills course and have a few projects under their belt.

If you have undertaken a level 1 unit you will build on these skills. Garments at level 2 will utilise more complex techniques and design components and in-depth background contextual fashion research.
The daytime course has 9 sessions of 4.5 hours over 10 weeks, the evening course has 13 sessions of 3 hours over 14 weeks

You will learn a range of machine and hand sewing techniques to achieve a professional finish to your final garment

You will learn how to take your measurements and alter a commercial pattern to fit your personal size

How to lay out your fabric and cut out your pattern

How to construct your dress

Students work towards the completion of a portfolio of practical skills to design, plan and make a final dress

Students will also be required to complete some research and written work at home in their own time

City & Guilds qualifications are recognised for their high level practical skills and are for professional and hobby sewers alike. 

There will not be an exam to sit 

You will be continually assessed by your tutor throughout the course where you will receive verbal and written feedback

You will be required to submit your coursework on completion of the course for assessment by the tutor, Internal Quality Assessor and External Quality Assessor after which you will be awarded either a Pass, Merit or Distinction.
