We have listened to feedback and have made this course longer to give you more time to achieve the fit you want.
Do you hate how shop bought clothes patterns never fit quite right? Do you wish you could create and modify patterns to suit your own style? This is the class for you!
In this class, we’ll learn how to draft a basic bodice block based on your measurements and create a toile with a flattering fit. You can choose from either making a womenswear or menswear bodice.
You can also choose to make a trouser block and toile if you prefer. Simply book the right course!
