Pattern Cutting with Toni Alexander
6 week course
Mondays 4 March - 22 April (no sessions 1 & 8 April).
A beginners guide to personalised pattern cutting.
No past experience in dress making or sewing needed.
These lessons will teach you how to make a pattern that fits your body.
Each progressive block of lesson will focus on a new garment.
Working in pairs we will learn how to measure the body. With these measurements, I will take you step by step to make a basic paper body block.
This block will be the basis for making patterns.
We will process into making a basic dress out of calico (a cheap dress fabric) tacking and pinning together and learn how to fit on the body.
We will then go back to our paper patterns altering them so we have a perfect fitting pattern ready to make garments from in the future.
All materials included.
