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.

I love that this site connected us, living out in the shires, with the gifted and inspiring Ethical Tailor, in her studio of artists in East London. My 13 year old daughter enjoyed making a pattern of her favourite top and I loved hearing about the journey to become a clothes designer and entrepreneur. Highly recommend.

I really enjoyed this class. I was surprised by how much we got to fit in (we did 2 patterns measured to my sizings) and didn't feel overwhelmed or intimidated by the process. Claire explained things in a really easy way to understand and had loads of extra knowledge that she was happy to share, including book recommendations and where to buy supplies.

My teacher Clare was very knowledgable and supportive! Having a private class was really valuable as I was able to ask lots of questions and get some really helpful answers. She took her time goign through everything and gave me some really helpful tips.

Claire was brilliant, very knowledgeable and informative. We made a pattern for trousers to my measurements and I am now ready to recreate my favourite trousers. The location was easy to get to and only 7 min walk from the tube station. Her workshop is cosy, well lit and organised. It definitely is something I would like to repeat maybe with a dress next time.

We really enjoyed pattern making class! We had no idea beforehand, so we are really glad that we had professional instruction as it’s quite complex! Now we have a base pattern to start our makes! Thanks Claire!! :)
