  Our Patterns & Stitching courses are offered in flexible hour packages of 30, 40, 50, 60, 80, or even 100+ hours. This flexible structure allows students to learn and progress at their own pace. It’s important to understand that these packages serve as a guideline. Creating high-quality work often requires more than the initial 30 hours. Students are welcome to book additional hours (50, 60, 80, or more) to continue their learning and complete their projects without feeling rushed.

The more projects you wish to complete, the more hours you will need.   Note: Our courses are booked by hours, and producing excellent, professional-level work requires time, patience, and commitment.   Key Highlights:
