Monday 3rd February - Monday 10th February 18.15 - 21.15

Do you hate how shop bought clothes patterns never fit quite right? Do you wish you could create and modify patterns to suit your own style? This is the class for you!

In this class, we’ll learn how to draft a women’s bodice block based on your measurements and create a toile with a flattering fit. 

You can also choose to make a trouser block and toile if you prefer. Simply book the right course!
