This is a fun activity in Canary Wharf, London

Make a pattern that fits your measurements in this London sewing class. It's 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.

I really enjoyed this class. I am experienced in sewing, but has no prior knowledge of making my own patterns or alter existing ones. I feel very inspired to start working on mine after this class. Highly recommended

A very insightful lesson, learnt so much and really enjoyed everything about pattern making! Didn't feel too confident drafting my own patterns before this workshop however left feeling very confident after.

A very practical and helpful class. In two hours we got straight on with making a personal block pattern with lots of guidance and then we had time to understand how to use it. With a bit of practice I will be able to effectively resize commercial patterns and start to design my own.

Excellent workshop and wonderfu to have Claire on a one-to-one. She explained clearly and answered all my questions with confidence. It was a very worthwhile class.

I received the voucher for the pattern making class as a birthday gift and I was so so happy! Claire is an amazing teacher and she helped me building my block pattern while explaining everything in detail and replying to the questions that I didn't even think of asking really satisfied and can only recommend!! Thank you so much, Claire!!

Claire was very kind and helpful, she explained everything that I needed to know regarding making a basic bodice pattern, and went beyond. She worked at my pace and we got through a basic bodice with time left that she was able to help me with switching darts positions to change the form of the bodice, which she demonstrated the dart/seam style that I wanted to learn about and also had time to do a sleeve pattern and how to measure for it which I also really wanted/ needed to learn. Very cosy work space and a great session, felt very comfortable. Would definitely recommend her sessions, she also mentioned that I could come back to use the machines to sew the garments and she’s there to help with any areas that might get stuck on.

I really enjoyed my class. The time flew by though. We made a trouser block. I think going forward I would love to learn all the calculations involved so that I can one day create a block on my own. Would definitely recommend.

Claire is very methodical and professional; the two hours flew by and, voilà, I had custom patterns of my body for tops and bottoms with an understanding of how to make variations on them. I will definitely come back for more lessons!
