- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 18 Jul, 2026 at 10:15 am
- **Event Description**: Join us at Stitching Kitchen for a day of advanced dressmaking with our tutor Emma Smith. She will teach you how to adjust a bodice block to fit you - this can then be your jumping off point for tops and dresses from here on. 

Starting with a simple bodice block / sloper you will make adjustments to the calico mock up and then transfer these adjustments to create a bodice block which works for your body. 

A very common adjustment is to allow for a larger bust. It is often known as a Full Bust Adjustment or FBA. Once you know how to make this alteration to your paper patterns, your dressmaking will be transformed forever! 

The workshop will cover:

Taking accurate measurements
Making a calico mock up - also known as a muslin/toile
Evaluating fit
Fitting adjustments 
Transferring those adjustments back to your block. 
You’ll make a muslin/toile and then be able to make further adjustments to your pattern.
