Recreate The Pattern For Your Favourite Dress or Top

Maximum Class Size: 4

Level 4: Intermediate. Best suited to those with a good understanding of garment construction and who have sewn a range of projects using commercial patterns.

We all have that one favourite dress or top that fits perfectly and goes with everything. In this practical pattern drafting session, you'll learn how to recreate it without unpicking a single seam.

With expert guidance from an experienced pattern cutter, you’ll copy your garment by tracing around each section, carefully noting seam allowances, darts, pleats, and shaping. You’ll finish the session with a complete set of paper pattern pieces ready to use again and again at home.

Please note: This class focuses on pattern replication only There is no sewing involved during the session.
