WELCOME!
I'm so glad you decided to join me on this pattern making journey. It's going to be fun, challenging, hard, a pain in the ass, rewarding, amazing but above all you will accomplish something you've always wanted to ...... and that's to make something for yourself that actually fits you.
I've got all the Modules open and ready for you to go. BUT, take your time and complete each Module before you go onto the next Module as each one builds onto the next. Here's an outline of what is in each Module:
Module 1:
Now you'll have a Sleeveless Bodice Pattern that fits just YOU!
Module 2:
Now you'll have a Short Sleeve Bodice Pattern that fits just YOU!
Module 3:
Now you'll have a Sleeveless Bodice, Short Sleeve Bodice and Skirt made just for your shape. It's time now to show you how to manipulate these patterns to make some beautiful designs and styles you'd be proud to wear.
Module 4:
I have 5 styles that I'm going to show you how to manipulate your basic patterns to these designs. You'll make up a Toile (mock, sample) of your design and once you are happy with your style I'll show you how to transfer all alterations to your pattern.
