Pattern Making Class - Copy your Clothes

Have a favourite simple garment that you’ve always wished you could replicate? This workshop is for you!

In this workshop you will learn how to copy a garment (without unpicking it) and transfer it into a paper pattern. Along with a whole range of new skills to let you try this technique on a range of garments.

Skills we will cover
-Taking accurate measurements

You will need to bring a garment to copy. In this workshop we recommend bringing a top or a dress. We suggest bringing a few garment options. We will also have some garments here as a back up. It is best to start with simple garments without draping/pleats/gathers/panels.
