Bespoke Pattern Construction: The Women’s Jacket (3 Day Event)
Tue 27 May 2025 2:30 PM - 5:00 PM BST
Online, Zoom
Description
A three-part live online class teaching the construction of a bespoke cutting pattern for the classic women's jacket. No previous experience required. Literature provided.
This class is dedicated to the drafting of the bespoke pattern from scratch. Based on actual body measurements, rather than using pre-fabricated blocks, the course teaches the art of cutting for the individual - yourself or a customer.
This is a three-day course, taking place from Mon 27 to Wed 29 May 2025, 2:30 am to 5:00pm UK time.
*** Book for the first day only - day 2 & 3 are included ***
The drafting method is suitable for waist measurement not larger than 90% of the bust. Please get in touch if in doubt.
Participants will be able to create their own patterns using the literature we provide with the class. Measurements are in the metric system.
To enhance the online experience, we draft in small scale, on A3 paper. A measuring tape and set of instructions are provided prior to the course.
Included in the fee:
- Your complete cutting pattern in 1:3 scale (body, sleeve, collar)
- The skill to repeat the draft in full scale, for anyone, anytime
- Written instructions for future reference
- A recording of the lesson for download
