ACL Fash Written by Debra, The online Fashion & Textiles Award Creative Craft Level 1 Course has been a great success at ACL, teaching learners new eco-friendly ways to reuse old materials and clothing. The class included a mix of abilities, some complete beginners and some with previous knowledge. They all learnt a range of sewing techniques and completed their first project a basic top. They went on to develop techniques,
get creative with their own ideas, and produce a textile piece and clothing, as well as a portfolio. As a tutor, I adapted my teaching style to deliver the course. I had to tackle technology whilst teaching learners how to use the sewing machine. Learners have really embraced learning online’ we’ve explored new ways to be sustainable, and discussed many wonderful ideas - it has been such a rewarding experience.
Having never taken a course like this before, I was unsure if I could keep up, but I shouldn’t have worried. Everything is explained thoroughly, and nothing is rushed. It’s been great to be able to develop my skills and perfect techniques that I wouldn’t have attempted before. Being part of a class where everyone has similar interests has done so much to inspire me and keep me motivated to push myself with projects. I would recommend the course to anyone with an interest in sewing. It has completely exceeded my expectations and I have enjoyed every minute of it! Jasmine
