About the Course

Imagine the joy of wearing something you’ve created with your own hands. In just 6 weeks, under the guidance of teacher Kiké - with over 30 years of couture sewing experience - you’ll progress from absolute beginner to confidently sewing and finishing your very first piece.

This practical course is more than a sewing class; it is a creative journey. Step by step, you will develop essential skills: taking measurements, threading and operating a sewing machine, reading and drafting patterns, mastering basic stitches, and shaping fabric into a garment that reflects your own style. By the end, you will not only have a completed handmade piece, but also the knowledge and confidence to continue building your sewing skills and creating your own wardrobe.

No previous experience is required. You will be supported in a welcoming, encouraging environment where every mistake becomes an opportunity to learn and grow.

What You’ll Learn

• The basic tools and fabrics you’ll need for sewing
• How to take body measurements
