Bodice Fitting Workshop

Are you tired of making patterns that don’t fit around the bust?!

We totally get it, and we are here to help.

In this workshop you will learn how to take any store-bought pattern and adjust the bodice to fit your body.

Ill-fitting bodices are one of the most common issues we see people having in sewing class.

Fitting patterns around the bust can be particularly challenging. Bodies come in all shapes and sizes and that is especially true for the bust area. Generally patterns are all drafted for a rather perky B-cup and that just simply isn’t the shape of most women. People often find them selves with darts that stick out, bodices that are restricting, having to size up the rest of the garment just to fit the bust, loose fabric around the bust or simply having no bust shaping in the garment at all.

Usually all that is needed is some simple dart manipulation and once you know the basics of what you need for your body, you can apply those same adjustments to almost any pattern.

We want this to be a really practical and useful course, tailored to each individual and what pattern they want to work on.

If a place in a class is booked it is the students responsibility to attend the classes. We are unable to provide a refund or credit or transfer for missed classes. All purchases are final.

Our class sizes are limited, and by booking into a class we: held the spot for you, purchased and prepared materials and paid the tutor for your spot and the time they spent preparing for the class.

We cannot guarantee that you will complete your project during the term, but we will give guidance to help you select a project that is suitable for your skill level to be completed in our class timeframe. If you do not attend all classes, you may not complete project.

For individual projects students are expected to bring in their own fabric for the project or purchase one of our basic materials. We will give guidance on this before it is needed.

Kids and Teenagers Classes:

If your child will be missing a term class you must let us know.

We will try to provide a catch up session, because we work through set projects it is highly recommended they attend so they do not fall behind in the class. If they miss more than two classes, a catch up class fee will be charged for catch up sessions. If students do not attend all of the classes, they may not finish the term projects.

We cannot provide materials and instructions for the projects to be completed independently at home.

We may alter class projects if we feel students need more time. We want everyone to learn to sew in a fun, stress free environment.

If you are able to give us at least two weeks notice, a credit or exchange can be provided.
