Course Content

This is a five-week, classroom-based, workshop-style, learning experience.

You will build upon and consolidate your prior knowledge by working through a range of textile projects developed by the tutor to grow basic skills step by step.

Confidence and practical ability will develop as techniques and processes are learnt and embedded.

Practise using the controls and functions of the sewing machine by constructing textile items. Further embed and grow knowledge of grainlines, cutting skills, simple paper patterns and basic pattern markings.

Learn new sewing techniques.

Develop and embed construction processes.

Tutor demonstration, advice, guidance and practical support will be given throughout the course.

You will need fabric, threads, haberdashery.

The tutor will talk with you, and answer any questions you may have, at the induction session

There are sewing machines and some sewing equipment for your use at the centre, scissors, pins, etc.

However, you may wish to bring your own sewing tools and equipment. If you wish to bring your own sewing machinery it must hold a current PAT test certificate. The tutor will need to see evidence.

Assessment Method

This course uses RARPA as its method of assessment.

RARPA stands for Recognising and Recording Progress and Achievement which is the process of assessment for non-accredited learning. It is a means of validating the outcomes of programmes which do not result in qualifications. RARPA is a five-stage process which measures and records learners’ progress, achievements and attendance.

Where can it lead?

You may wish to progress on to the Improve Your Sewing Skills course to further your skills or enrol on a sewing workshop to learn specific techniques and processes.

We offer a range of sewing and creative courses which can assist you in developing your own skills and interests.

As a Hull Training and Adult Education learner you have access to our Careers Advice Service. Our advisers are on hand to guide you through options and support you to achieve your full potential. Ask your tutor to refer you, if required.
