Read ClassBento UK Reviews

This is a fun activity in Canary Wharf, London

The ideal way to bring a new dimension to your dressmaking or tailoring skills, this one-to-one class will teach you how to draft a pattern from one of your favourite garments. We all have that one special piece that fits like a dream, and this class will use this to give you a deeper insight into the garment pattern making process.

Working with an experienced bespoke tailor based in Canning Town, you'll learn the process of drafting a pattern onto paper using the garment of your choice. 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.

Please note:
This class will show you how to draft a pattern onto paper, not sew it. Please get in touch prior to booking if you'd like to go through any questions.

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

Gave a good basic understanding to copy my favorite garment. Hopefully, once I find some similar fabric, I will make a reasonable attempt at making it? One suggestion I would give regarding finding the location, you could supply a little map in you communication with customers, to make it easier to find the studio entrance.

Claire is a really thorough and professional make, with flexibility (I chose a unique garment) and a really calm way of teaching. We are going to work together to complete it, and I can't wait. Highly recommend!

I really enjoyed this 1:1 class. Claire is clearly very skilled and was very patient in demonstrating and explaining how to make a pattern for pyjama bottoms from an existing pair. I had bought the fabric for these thinking it would be easy to copy them myself but soon realised I needed help and feel much more confident now after a couple of hours with Claire. There was time to cut them out too which was great. I definitely recommend and may well return for some more sessions.
