Our New and Enhanced Bodice Block Workshop is a fun and productive day aimed at those who have experience in sewing. You will be spending the day sewing with others in our studio space surrounded by beautiful fabrics, while learning and developing your skills.
During the Bodice Block workshop you will begin by taking a thorough set of measurements to then create a bodice and sleeve block tailored to your body. This will eliminate the need to make fit adjustments to a pattern as you will have your own unique block to start from.
You will then be able to use this block to create your own fitted garments using a few simple adjustments. We will sew a toile of your block after completing it to ensure it has the correct fit.
*NEW* We will then spend some time at the end covering different adjustments you can make to create the garment of your dreams, such as the ‘slash and spread’ method and how to change the position of your dart.
Experience: This workshop is aimed at those who have experience sewing and have a thorough understanding of how patterns are put together.
