🧵✂️ Sewing & Pattern Cutting Course with Josipa Ščapec
This sewing and pattern cutting course is led by fashion designer Josipa Ščapec, MA, the creative mind behind the SCHAPÉ DESIGN bridal brand, known for unique wedding dresses worn by women around the world. With her passion, years of experience and eye for detail, you’ll be guided safely through your first steps in sewing – from getting to know the machine to creating your own simple garment.
The course is held in small groups of 5–6 students, with a total of 16 school hours divided into 4 sessions of 4 school hours each, which ensures plenty of time for questions, feedback and personalised guidance. You’ll learn how to operate a sewing machine, practise basic seams, take body measurements, work with patterns, choose suitable fabrics and, by the end of the course, complete a simple piece of clothing under Josipa’s supervision.
