Patterns From Favourite Garments

Bring along your much-loved clothes, make a pattern and get useful tips, techniques and sizing rules.
Love a piece of clothing but can't find a pattern? Bring along clothes you want to take patterns off and learn some useful tips and sizing rules. You'll make a pattern for at least one garment and get help on how to get going with others.

A list of what else to bring will be sent out when course numbers are confirmed. Tea and coffee provided but bring your lunch.

By the end of the workshop, you'll be able to:
- Use techniques to reproduce a paper copy of an existing garment
- Demonstrate how to include seam allowances
- Demonstrate how to accommodate facings and hems in construction
- Reproduce a pattern of a garment of your choice

If you need to cancel your registration, here are our terms and conditions: "What You Need to Know".
