Course Description

Dressmaking (Fashion Sewing)

Marino College



This course caters for those who wish to learn how to make up a pattern in fabric of their choice. Students learn how to cut out, sew, fit and finish their garment. Individual attention is given to students to cater for different levels of competence, from beginners to advanced. Beginners are advised to choose a simple pattern to enable them to learn basic sewing techniques while students at a more advanced level may choose a more complicated pattern – dress, suit, coat, etc.
