Five Day Sewing Course Online
Online Sewing Course + International Starter Kit
We know not everyone can travel to Bali, so we’ve brought our in-person Couture Mode course to you. This online program gives you lifetime access, so you can learn at your own pace from anywhere in the world. Your professional starter kit is shipped internationally, so you have everything you need to begin.
You will learn how to set up and confidently use a domestic sewing machine, and create your own dress while building essential sewing skills. These include cutting on the bias, adding elastic, gathering, creating puff shoulders, and attaching a collar.
You will then progress to making elasticated trousers and finally learn how to copy a garment from your own wardrobe, giving you the skills to recreate your favourite pieces.
This course is designed to give you the same knowledge, techniques, and confidence our students gain in Bali — wherever you are in the world. What’s Included in Your Starter Kit
