Level 3 workshops are our trickiest, most challenging but also most fun!
You are a Sewciopath!: You have been using sewing patterns you pick up at Spotty, buy online from indie designers or download and print. The garments you have been making are from a wide variety of woven and knit fabrics, including challenging materials like silk blends. You are keen to gain knowledge that will allow you to alter patterns, improve the fit of garments, achieve impressive results and learn couture sewing techniques. At this level, workshops are at a fast-past and you will get the most if you take some time for homework in between classes.

- Advanced garments with many pattern pieces.
