Introduction to Pattern Cutting at MAC Birmingham

It was a great day at MAC Birmingham teaching my Introduction to Pattern Cutting class. 

The one day workshop focusses on drafting a custom skirt block from precise measurements and conducting a toile fitting to ensure good fit. 

It's important to get the drafting process right as any errors can cause issues with the resulting toile garment. 

The toiles did need some changes in the fit sessions but this is easy to do in calico by cutting additional sections of fabric to build out and areas that need extra. 

If you're testing a shape for the first time, a toile is always a good thing to try first to make any mistakes before moving to the final fabric. Measure twice, cut once and all that! 😊

Thats a wrap on classes for 2022! More will be coming soon for 2023. Keep an eye on my social media and the course page for more information.
