About this event

This class is for those who know how to sew, and have used multiple commercial patterns. This takes the process of making your own clothes a step further, by allowing you to create your own patterns - to fit your own individual body shape. Nancy will be on hand to offer advice, help fit and demonstrate pattern drafting techniques.

Fair warning: this is an intensive course and it is not a quick process. Patience and diligience is required - but I promise it pays off.

Testimonial from a current Advanced Sewist:

Mrs B is a great tutor. I have learned so much in a few short weeks. Great class if you want to know more about pattern drafting/altering and fitting clothes. We are friendly - come and join us.

Coda has a large carpark and the studios are a level walk from parking. There is a cafe onsite to buy food and coffee.

Basic Tea & Coffee and biscuits included in price

Pattern paper is also included and you will be given 2 metres of calico for making toiles.
