What happens at this event?
The perfect fitting pair of trousers can be an enigma to many of us, but how can we expect shops or patterns to fit everyone when all our bodies are all so different? Learn pattern cutting with us to create a trouser block that fits you and only you. You can use your self-drafted pattern and toile to make perfectly fitting trousers every time!In this course, you’ll learn:
- How to accurately measure your waist, hiops and legs
- How to make a well - fitting trouser pattern blockusing your measurements
- How to add seam allowances and markings…
FAQ's
This class takes place across one day, between 10.00 - 17.00 with an hour for lunch.
We will begin by taking measurements with assistance from fellow students or the teacher. Following this, we will proceed to creating our own toiles with guidance and support from the teacher. Once the block is made seam allowance will be added and the toile made.
You can work at your own pace and benefit from individual attention and support.
You will leave this class with one completed toile but it can take several attempts to create one that fits perfectly. This class will equip you with the skills needed to continue tweaking and adjusting your pattern at home to get the fit perfect.
In case you need further assistance in the future, you’re welcome to join our monthly Sewing Surgery to receive individual advice and guidance from our experienced teachers.

Very informative course. Really useful. Each step was very well explained. I ended up with block to take home and a toile that actually fits me. It also gave me the confidence to alter shop-bought patterns to fit better.

Excellent tutor, very good location. Plentiful and functional equipment. And my trouser block worked first time! Well worth doing this course. Thankyou Steph.
