Your master class will be held on Saturday 13th April from 9.30-12.30.Let’s face it, ALL of our bodies are different, making the fitting of the garments we make a CHALLENGE! It’s so soul destroying to spend lots of money on fabric and lots of time making something to find that we are not happy with the fit!

We will be using a commercial pattern to enable you to understand how you can go on to make similar adjustments to the patterns you may choose to use in future projects.9.30 – 10.15 INTRODUCTION: Masterclass in measuring our bodies, our patterns and adapting our pattern10.15 – 12.00 PUTTING THINGS INTO PRACTICE: Adapting and creating a pattern which more closely matches our body shapes.

I will also provide you any other materials, resources and equipment you need to complete the workshop.You are welcome to bring your own sewing machine for making your toile but if you would like to borrow one of my machines please let me know.
