Experienced - you can do the courses on this page but perhsps choose more challenging projects (if relevant). You've made five or more items of clothing using a sewing machine, including set in sleeves & are fairly confident cutting out and sewing unsupervised but will need some pointers and guidance on some things. You may need help learning to tissue-fit patterns to get a custom fit
