# Event Details

- **Event Name**: PATTERN CUTTING WORKSHOP: PATTERN HACKING
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 17 Jun, 2026 at 10:00 am – Wed, 17 Jun, 2026 at 04:00 pm (+01:00)
- **Event Description**: The aim of this workshop is to learn the basics of adapting a basic dress pattern block to alter the design, sometimes known as ‘hacking’ a pattern. We will be using a half scale dress block to make the size and pieces more manageable and you will learn several techniques to apply to dress making patterns.

Pattern cutting techniques we will cover include pivoting darts, adding seams, altering necklines and basic skirt variations. Armed with this knowledge you can make many different designs at home.

Please note - we will not be covering any fitting information in this class. All pattern cutting that we do today will be using a basic dress block in half scale, so it will not be to fit you, but to learn the pattern cutting principles.
