Vintage Dress Workshop: 30th June and 1st July

Its been a great weekend at MAC Birmingham teaching the 'Make a Vintage Dress Workshop'.

Altering commercial patterns to fit can be a little complicated but once you know what needs to be done (full/ small bust adjustment, sway back alteration, lengthening/ shortening, etc), you can work through each change to make the pattern work for you. Preparation is what takes the most time, but if this is done with care, you can usually overcome a large amount of the potential problems that would normal occur during construction.

Take a look at some of the photos from the weekend below:

Finally finished my samples of the Butterwick
Gertie pattern that we worked with.
