There’s nothing holding you back from fashioning a marvellous outfit, giving your creativity an effective outlet, achieving that sense of satisfaction from a job well done as well as inciting a little envy among your friends for your style.

How can you do all this, you ask?

For the first time ever GippsTAFE will be conducting Fashion course, Certificate II in Clothing Design and Production, at the LLINC (Living and Learning in Cardinia) Building in Pakenham.

The class introduces beginners to the basics of sewing.

However, if you already have the basics you can talk to the facilitator to organise more advanced classes, depending on your requirements.

Topics covered in the course include using the sewing machine, understanding the pattern, sewing terms, cutting, marking, current construction methods, pressing and using tools and notions.

The sessions will consist of a lecture demonstration, with workshop time and individual instruction.

Courses will run at the LLINC Building located at Henry Street in Pakenham and will be conducted on Mondays from 9.30am to 3pm.

Wouldn’t you love to answer the question "where did you get that outfit?" or "who is the designer" and answer "me?"
