All working from your base ‘block’- so you can explore the potential your pattern has.

*your base bodice should be something youve made before; it could be as simple as a sweatshirt or tshirt, TATB indigo, nell or a simple top pattern you think has potential to be so much more! 

You will then draft out your new pattern pieces, note down order of sequences of constructing your new self drafted pattern & make it up in toile or cheap fabric (advised).

The timings of this workshop should enable you to complete your pattern adjustments, make new pattern pieces & sew up a garment within the session but each person will work at a different pace so please be aware you may have tasks to complete after the session finishes.
