FAQ
How long will this course take? It’s designed for weekly, though can be expanded to 3-8 weeks, each session can be tailored to your availability so if you want more than one session per week, we can work to that, or if you need longer than one week then we can work to that. I find after 8 weeks momentum is lost.
What if I get stuck in-between each session? You have full support throughout, I can be contacted either by email or text and answered within 24 hours. I will also check in with you through-out.
Do I need to be able to sew at this stage? A basic knowledge of sewing would be handy, if you are a complete beginner I recommend starting with the ‘ Designing briefs course’
I go through everything and I can guide you through examples, you can practise your sewing throughout the course and I can look and give you tips throughout.
Is each session set in stone? No, for example if you are an amazing sewer, we can cover one part of the course briefly and go deeper into another part of the session. At each video call we can move at your pace and go as deep into each session as you like.
