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.
