Description

Join us 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.

Emma has a wealth of dressmaking experience and teaches for sewing studios and pattern company retreats across the UK.


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 for ever! 


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. Calico and pattern paper will be provided.

If you have any questions please ask - otherwise book yourself on to a day of learning how to fit a bodice block on yourself.

Bring your sewing machine or borrow one of our PFAFF demo models. We provide a basic sewing kit and we will keep you going with tea and cake! As this is a full day do bring some lunch with you.
