Have you created your own set of blocks, but you’re not sure how to use them now you have them?
Learn how to master the basic principle of pattern cutting so you can apply them to your own blocks to create new patterns and to help you alter and adapt commercial patterns.
There are really only two methods of flat pattern cutting - dart manipulation and cut and spread. Once you understand these you can literally create anything!
Whether you just want to make simple tops and dresses or let your imagination run riot, learning how to use your basic blocks is the gateway to creating the clothes you know you want to make and wear.
You should leave the 3 day workshop with a working pattern and calico toile for a new design of garment.
Important information
You will need to bring your basic blocks and the corresponding calico toiles for those blocks so we can assess the fit from the beginning.
Please note you will not have time to make up the finished garment. We will just be working on the pattern development.
