Do you want to have a better understanding of how patterns work and are created? Well, this is the class for you!

What you'll learn:

We'll show you how to accurately measure the top half of your body and use the measurements to make a bodice pattern block to fit your exact body shape.
You will make your first pattern from it adding seam allowances and markings.
Make a calico toile to check the fit and make any necessary adjustments to your block.
We will discuss how to adjust your block to make different designs and how to…

Things to remember

We have everything you need for the workshop including calico but if you would like to bring your own fabric, set square, ruler and/or pattern master you are very welcome to.

WHAT IS THE STRUCTURE OF THE CLASS?

We will start the class by taking each others measurements. Each student will then take their measurements and start work on their own toile. Everyone will be working at their own pace. Once the block is made seam allowance will be added and the toile made.

WILL I HAVE THE PERFECT FITTING TOILE BY THE END OF THE CLASS?

This class is designed to show you how to turn your measurements into a basic block and first toile. Whether it fits perfectly can depends on many aspects. Everybody's shape is unique so it is very common to have to adjust your block and toile multiple toiles until you are completely happy. Some people who are quicker may have time to do some adjustments in the class however you may need to continue tweaking and adjusting your pattern after the class to get the fit perfect.
