A little foray into the world of pattern cutting - draft a pattern from one of your favourite, simple tops.
9.30-noon 3 x Tuesdays Starting 10th September
Learn some basic principles of pattern cutting, and draft your first simple pattern.
Session 1 - Drafting onto pattern paper
**Bring a notebook & Pen if you would like to take notes, plus weights to hold your garment in place - can be tins of beans if nothing else!
Session 2 - Finishing your Pattern & Cutting it out
**Bring as for session 1, plus paper scissors, pins & fabric scissors or rotary cutter
Session 3 - Making up!
All tools, equipment & paper to make your pattern will be provided.
**Bring as above, plus your sewing machine & Matching/Contrasting thread (or overlocker, if you’re copying and making in Jersey).
If you can’t decide which top to copy, bring a couple and we can decide on the day - keeping it simple will mean you will get finished. With the principles under your belt, you may be able to copy something more complicated at home.
