Understanding Dressmaking Patterns (FREE Online Workshop)

Understanding Dressmaking Patterns

You have wanted to give dressmaking a go, you even have a pattern at home, but the instructions and terminology have just confused you. You aren't sure what size to make, what supplies you need or have just fallen down the rabbit hole with the world of PDF patterns, what A4 and A0 copies mean? Sound familiar, then this workshop is for you.

Through our FREE online workshop, Lucy will guide you through each of the stages of a pattern, so by the end of the workshop you will be able to;

• Read a pattern, from understanding what supplies are required and identifying what pattern pieces you need
• Understand the symbols and terminology used throughout patterns
• Understand the differences between commercial and independent patterns
• Take body measurements and how to use them to select the size you would saw
• Place your pattern pieces on fabric correctly and economically 

Whilst this course is designed specifically for dressmaking patterns, it will be transferable to other sewing patterns like bags, cushions and other home accessories. 

Please note that you will not be making anything on this course
