Continuous classroom assessment.
Students must buy their own materials, pattern and sewing supplies. Bring sharp fabric scissors (large and small), pins, a tape measure and thread to every class. Please wait until after the first lesson before buying fabric or a pattern, as these will be discussed in class. Allow approximately £20–£50 for materials, depending on your chosen garment.
