Course Information
Course Overview
A problem solving guide for the first year of sewing.
This course will teach you my personal insight into what First year sewing “should” include. Hi my name is Tunku Adhikari. I am a Fashion Educator and Designer based in Melbourne, Australia. I have taught in the field of Fashion and Design for over 20 years.
I say “should” because we are slowly becoming less and less hands on, especially since the pandemic. It is a course that Includes tips and tricks that I use personally, learnt over the years.
Ten Skill you need in Sewing as a Beginner, is a course I designed based on what I believe a 1st Year Fashion student should know before transitioning into 2nd Year. These topics are based on questions from students that I have answered for over 20 years. You could say it is a problem-solving guide for sewing.
After completing this course, you will have a better understanding of how to create better quality fashion.
To create confidence in sewing for beginners by learning to do these 10 samples without help.
Naturally remember each step through repetition. Understand why they are used. Then apply that knowledge to each sample. Analyse what you did right and try and learn form the wrong ones. Evaluate your understanding of the concept. Eventually create your own samples without instructions.
Quality of product is what makes each sample beautiful to look at, but more importantly accurate to the pattern.

I like the delivery of content - the voice and choice of words to explain. Videos are ok sometimes difficult to see the detail but not bad

This course is like an "I got your back" support whenever I forget how to do all the basics. It's super helpful to watch this whenever I got stuck and not knowing who to ask. So thank you Tunku, you got my back after all.

Really easy to follow instructions on the basics needed for sewing. I'll be referencing these lessons for years! (especially on zips) If you're keen on learning to sew or just a refresher I'd recommend.
