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!

Great class, Monika was a fantastic teacher explaining the steps to build a pattern in an easy to understand way. Small group so plenty of 1-2-1 attention. If pattern making is a mystery to you this class solves the mystery.
