A practical, artisan-level course for beginners who want to make and repair clothes for a living, whether in a home workshop, a market tailoring stall or a garment factory. You learn workshop safety, sewing tools and the sewing machine, fibres and fabrics, how to take body measurements and draft basic skirt, bodice and trouser patterns, and then how to lay out, cut, sew seams and hems, insert fastenings, make darts, pleats, collars, sleeves and pockets, fit and alter garments, and press and finish them. The course ends with fabric estimation, costing and running a small tailoring business. It covers the classroom knowledge for KNEC Artisan-level garment making; practical skills need supervised practical sessions in a workshop, and national examinations (KNEC) or trade tests (NITA) are registered and taken separately.
