Carbon Copy

Learn to make a pattern from a favourite garment in order to perfect the fit and recreate it many times over in a variety of fabrics. You will learn to trace a draft of your garment onto paper and then “true” your draft - checking measurements, adding seam allowances, marking, hems and design details. This is a pattern drafting class only, we will not be sewing.

Group size: 6 students maximum

Age range: Adults 16+

Skill level: This is an intermediate class, you will need an understanding of the principles of sewing and working with sewing patterns, seam allowances etc. Consideration should be given to matching the complexity of the garment to your sewing skills.

Bring Along: This is a pattern drafting class only, we will not be sewing.

Bring along 1 to 3 garments you would like to make a pattern from. We will help you evaluate the difficulty and depending on how complex your pattern is, you will be able to make a pattern for 1 or 2 garments.
