The perfect fitting pair of trousers can be an enigma to many of us, but how can we expect shops or patterns to fit everyone when all our bodies are all so different? Learn pattern cutting with us to create a trouser block that fits you and only you. You can use your self-drafted pattern and toile to make perfectly fitting trousers every time!

In this course, you’ll learn:

How to accurately measure your waist, hiops and legs
How to make a well - fitting trouser pattern blockusing your measurements
How to add seam allowances and markings
How 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.

I love the MakeMeeStudio. I have done two course recently and found them both interesting and helpful. We ran out of time with both course which is why I marked them down and the equipment wasn't in the best condition. If you can I would recommend you bring your own pencil, colour pencils and sharpener. But other than that the course was great fun in a nice environment with really knowledgeable and enthusiastic tutors. Thank you.

I loved this. I’ve been trying to make trousers for a while and it was great to be shown what to do in a small, friendly class with experts. Really enjoyed it
