I now look at all my skirt patterns in a different way. The class used a classic skirt pattern and then I learnt altering techniques to fit my body measurements. This was a very useful skill to use on the day and for future reference.

A really nice way to spend an evening. The process was very well paced and we knew exactly what we were supposed to be doing at each stage. And I left with the perfect skirt pattern block!

I really enjoyed this class. Jen guided me patiently through all the steps to create a skirt pattern. I then used the pattern to make a test sample which fitted perfectly!
