This is a fun activity in Canary Wharf, London

Make a garment pattern that fits your measurements. This class is ideal for intermediate sewists and improvers who want to make their own garments.

From your teacher's Canning Town studio, you'll be guided through the steps of making a basic fit block pattern and how it can be used. Your teacher Claire will provide all the equipment you need and will adapt the class based on your abilities. With 6+ years experience teaching sewing skills and 15+ years experience in sewing, garment construction and alterations, Claire is well equipped to take you on your sewing journey.

You will make a paper block that is perfectly designed for your measurements. It's an ideal tool for all your sewing projects like making your own clothes. If you know someone who would love to move up in their sewing journey, this makes for a wonderful gift experience.

Once you have your bespoke fit block pattern, you can go on to do all sorts of clothing design! It can be used to make shirts, dresses and even jackets. We can't wait to see what you come up with.

Please note:
- The best transport links are Canning Town station and the D3 bus stop Leamouth/ Orchard Place.

Claire was great, the lesson was such a lovely pace and I felt really guided throughout. I came away with a bespoke pattern for some trousers, and a pleated version too! Can’t wait to get making now. Thanks Claire!!

I completed the pattern making class in person. I wanted to produce a block pattern to compare against existing patterns that don't fit me. Claire was walking me through the steps in a calm and encouraging manner. Although very abstract in the beginning - for a relatively new sewer and a first time pattern maker - it all came together and I learned a lot in the process. Claire taught me how to adjust the pattern and how to work with it in the 2 hour class. It is evident that she has a wealth of information that she manages to pass on with easy explanations. We managed to do the block for a top, two further dart options and a sleeve cap. I really enjoyed my class and wouldn't hesitate recommending her to anyone who would like to have a helping hand into the daunting world of pattern drafting. This was not a problem for me, but it may be worth mentioning to others: The class is done standing up in order to reach the slightly elevated table. This is nothing new for experienced sewers but maybe a surprise for newcomers.

The teacher was nice, the class was waist of time as I didn’t get the answer for any of my questions, the pattern was marked and the formals was not explained, just connecting the dots according to her guidance book I was supposed to learn how to draw bodice pattern but I didn’t

Really great class, I learnt alot. Ive not done pattern drafting before and its a complicated subject, this was a great introduction to it. Much easier with a 1-2-1 session as its quite involved. I came home with my block ready for me to create a toile from.
