Dressmaking: Intro to Pattern Drafting Class \u2013 Skirt Block

Perhaps you have been sewing for a while, you’ve completed a few sewing patterns and you’re interested in learning how these patterns are created. Let us show you how!
In this introduction to pattern drafting class we will use your own measurements to create a basic skirt block which will then form the basis of all your skirt patterns going forward!
Pattern cutting is sometimes mistaken for cutting up a commercial pattern but it is in fact the name given to making the 2D patterns from scratch. You use a series of calculations and formulas to come up with pattern pieces that when sewn together create a garment that fits your body perfectly.
Our tutor will take you through each step in creating your own personalised pattern block before testing it out and making a toile. You will leave with a better understanding of the basics of pattern cutting and how to create your own patterns from scratch. Pretty cool eh?
What to bring:
A set square or ruler
Approx 1.5m non stretch fabric for your toile/mockup
Pencil
Calculator (can use the one on your phone)
Basic sewing kit (scissors, pins, unpick etc)
We have set squares and fabric available to buy in the studio so don’t worry if you don’t have these before the class.
This class is for you if you’ve done a bit of dressmaking and want to learn more. You should at least be confident with a sewing machine to get involved. Any questions about ability levels for this class please get in touch.
