Sewing with Emma - Shell Top - Bodice fitting

Description

Join us for a day of dressmaking with our tutor Emma Smith.

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

Learn how to adjust a printed pattern to fit you. Emma will teach you how to measure your body and create a toile/muslin in order to get a perfect fit to your bodice.

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

You’ll make a muslin/toile and then be able to make further adjustments to your pattern. Sheeting and pattern paper will be provided. You may wish to make the final version in your chosen fabric so bring along Lightweight cotton fabric, 150cm wide, 1.5m or 114cm wide, 1.8m to make the final garment. 

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

Bring your sewing machine, basic sewing kit, fabric and lunch to nibble, we will keep you going with tea and cake!
