This is an intermediate pattern cutting class, where you will learn how to make Full Bust Adjustments (FBA) to commercial patterns. Patterns are cut to a standard size and many ladies need to adjust them to fit well over the bust if they are bigger than a B/C cup. We will cover how to measure yourself properly, how to choose the correct pattern size and then start making the full bust adjustments. To determine if you need a full bust adjustment, when you measure your above bust and full bust, if the difference is over 5cm then you will probably need to adjust commercial patterns. If the difference is around 5cm or lower, then you will not need to do this course. Please note, there is no sewing in this class, and you will not have a full pattern to take home at the end, this class is solely for learning how to adjust patterns to fit your bust!WHO IS THIS CLASS SUITABLE FOR?
This class is an intermediate level class. It is aimed at confident dressmakers who have experience working with commercial patterns. You will get a lot more out of the class if you’ve already made up several garments before and got a grasp of garment construction, and basic pattern cutting knowledge.
