Master the Art of Bodice Fitting: Create Your Custom Bodice Block in Just 2 Days!

Struggling to find tops that fit just right? Whether commercial patterns don’t quite work for you or store-bought options fall short, this two-day (13 hours) workshop is here to change that!

Designed for confident sewists with experience using commercial patterns, this hands-on class will guide you through creating a personalised sleeveless bodice block tailored to your unique measurements.

Over the 2 days, you’ll:
✨ Analyse fit issues in your existing tops (handmade or ready-to-wear).
✨ Learn how to take precise body measurements.
✨ Draft a custom bodice block from scratch.
✨ Sew and fit a toile, adjusting for a custom fit.
✨ Transfer those adjustments to a paper pattern and create a durable card block.
✨ Discuss how to use your block to design bespoke top patterns and modify commercial ones.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll have a custom-fitting sleeveless bodice block and the skills to draft and fit tops confidently.

If time allows (depending on each individual's fitting), there may be the opportunity to also draft a sleeve. Due to the complex nature of the fitting process, this may not be possible for everyone, as time may be spent on perfecting their bodice fit.

With a maximum of just 6 students, you'll have plenty of room to take full advantage of the bright, airy studio and high cutting tables. Plus, there will be ample time for one-on-one support from Emma.
