Pattern Drafting: The Basic Darted Bodice and Sleeve Blocks
On-Demand Online Course

Unlock the foundation of garment construction with this self-paced online course focused on drafting a Basic Darted Bodice and Sleeve Block. This is one of the essential starting points for creating well-fitted tops, dresses, jackets, coats—and even some underwear.

The darted bodice block, along with the basic skirt and trouser blocks, forms one of the three key foundation slopers in pattern drafting. From these, you can create virtually any design you envision. This versatile block can be used for both woven and knit fabrics.
Whether you're a beginner or brushing up your skills, this course suits all levels. You'll learn a grid-based drafting method developed by your tutor, Julia Burrows, which makes the process straightforward and beginner-friendly.
Because this is a darted block, it is shaped for bust fitting and not suitable for children's or men's wear. If you need a pattern for those, check out our Dartless Bodice Block course.

The darted bodice block is drafted to your personal body measurements, so it can accommodate any bust size—no need for full or small bust adjustments in future patterns. Once fitted, your block becomes a reliable tool for all your pattern-making projects.

This course is perfect for:
Beginners ready to learn how to draft a fitted, darted bodice block

LOOKING FOR: YA, ADULT FICTION, NON-FICTION

Laura Williams is literary agent at the Greene and Heaton Literary Agency. She is seeking literary fiction, commercial fiction, psychological thrillers and high concept Young Adult.

Laura is actively building a fiction list and a small non-fiction list. She is currently looking for literary fiction, edgy commercial fiction, psychological thrillers and high-concept contemporary young adult, as well as narrative non-fiction of all types. Her taste is quite dark, and she loves gothic, ghost stories, horror and anything sinister. She also loves books that make her cry, from big love stories to intense family dramas. She is open to historical or horror YA, but not magical or fantasy. 

Meditative or moving novels about modern life, appeal to Laura, sad stories with love and the importance of caring for each other shining through. She also loves stories about female friendships or conversely groups of women who don't get on, such as the hugely fun BAD SUMMER PEOPLE by Emma Rosenblum. She is always on the lookout for a big tragic love story to make her cry happy or sad tears. At the more commercial end of fiction, think funny novels with warmth and romantic comedies with a bit of depth – think Marian Keyes.

Most of all Laura is looking for novels she hasn’t read before – something unusual structurally or thematically, something that shines a light on a subject the author is passionate about, something that’ll break her heart or raise her blood in an entirely new way. Laura is always looking to promote diverse voices from across the globe, and is particularly keen on LGBTQI+ stories.

Laura would like you to submit a covering letter, a 1-2 page synopsis and the first 5,000 words of your completed manuscript in a single word document.

(In addition to the paid sessions, Laura is kindly offering one free session for low income/under-represented writers. Please email agent121@iaminprint.co.uk to apply, outlining your case for this option which is offered at the discretion of I Am In Print). 

By booking you understand you need to conduct an internet connection test with I Am In Print prior to the event. You also agree to email your material in one document to reach I Am In Print by the stated submission deadline and note that I Am In Print take no responsibility for the advice received during your agent meeting.
