1. Crochet: Learn To Crochet And Open Your Own Crochet Business
While working through this course, you will move from learning to crochet, to becoming a designer, to opening your own crochet business.
In Part I, you’ll learn all about how to crochet, from holding the hook to reading patterns. You’ll also learn a range of more advanced techniques.
In Part II, you’ll learn about designing crochet pieces and writing patterns. Each section will lead you, step-by-step, through making a different type of item; practice patterns are included to get you started.
In Part III, you’ll learn how to start your own crochet business, including the steps necessary for finding your target market, budgeting, and writing a business plan.
2. Knitting: From Knitting Novice To Business Owner
This 3-part Knitting Course takes students from novice, to designer, to business-owner, through 17 fully-illustrated, hands-on modules.
3. Sewing: Learn Basic And Advanced Sewing Techniques
Learn basic and advanced sewing techniques, a range of machine and hand stitching types, the equipment you need and how to use it, how to measure correctly and choose the right fabrics, how to follow commercial patterns and create your own, and how to build a business. You’ll even put your new-found skills to practice in 8 guided projects to get your portfolio started off.
For some, the most off-putting part of learning to sew is getting to grips with the sewing machine itself. The Sewing Course begins by removing all trepidation, teaching you the basic parts and functions of your sewing machine, no matter which brand you have. You will quickly learn how to operate a sewing machine, including how to thread the bobbin and thread your sewing machine, and even gain the confidence to troubleshoot any minor problems that may arise, and understand how to care for your machine.
Another area that may at first seem baffling, is the array of tools available to the sewer. The course introduces you to the basic tools and accessories that you need to have in your sewing basket and outlines what each does.
Before working on a garment for yourself or a client, it is important to take accurate measurements. You will learn how to correctly measure women and men and the importance of rechecking measurements as years go by, to allow for changes in weight or body shape.
4. Fashion Design and Dressmaking: Learn Fashion Design And Dressmaking
This course will give you a complete understanding of fashion design and dressmaking. You will be guided through the history and principles of the subject, the formulation and presentation of ideas, the design process, understanding the materials and tools you’ll work with, and creating your own garments.
To gain an enhanced appreciation of fashion you will learn where it’s been and how it has evolved into what it is today. You’ll look at how changes in social landscape and economics have necessitated development within the fashion industry. You’ll learn the skills required to be successful, the different kinds of professions and specialities in the industry, and the benefits of a formal education in fashion.
Good fashion design is based on certain rules of aesthetic. You will explore the basic principles of aesthetics, including proportion, balance, harmony, rhythm, repetition, radiation, scale, gradation, emphasis and contrast. From this, you will understand the importance good aesthetics have in enhancing and refining creative elements in fashion.
Lines, form, shape, texture, pattern and colour. These are the elements that determine the features of a dress and distinguish one style from another. Through studying the Fashion Design and Dressmaking Course you will gain an appreciation of each of these elements and how they come together.
It is important to be able to clearly express your ideas before the manufacturing of a garment begins. This course will talk you through presenting your ideas through hand drawings and computer software and the details that should be included for specific markets.
5. Embroidery: Learn the art of Embroidery and its different techniques
One of the oldest forms of needlework, embroidery has been used from time immemorial to decorate different types of fabrics for domestic, ecclesiastical and ceremonial purposes. While it never went away, embroidery’s popularity has been renewed, with more and more modern crafters taking to their needles.
Through written explanation, illustration, and video instruction, this Embroidery Course's online modules will take you from beginner to being capable of creating your own projects. Along with the practical application of the craft, you’ll learn the theory as you explore its history and various styles.
