Welcome to the Ringmistress Half-Scale Dressmaking class!

As a solo fledgling designer, I faced the challenge of creating mock-ups which were both time-consuming and costly. This led me to create dressmaking courses that address these very issues, making the art of sewing more accessible and enjoyable for everyone.

Course Overview:

In this course, you will dive into traditional sewing techniques with a twist—using half-scale construction! The smaller scale of these garments makes them easier to handle, requires less material, and can be completed in less time. This approach is perfect for honing your sewing skills without the added pressure of fitting a real model.

What You'll Learn:

• Mastering Half-Scale Patterns: Perfect for practicing your techniques before applying them to full-scale garments.
• Hands-On Techniques: From handmade bra cups to corset loops, you'll learn a variety of skills that will elevate your sewing craft.
  • Handmade bra cups
  • Corset seaming
  • Pleats
