Pattern Drafting 2 Day Workshop: Bodice and Sleeve Block

Recent reviews of Pattern Drafting 2 Day Workshop: Bodice and Sleeve Block

• 5/5 from Lesley Grimsdall, attended Jun 2026: I attended the second part of the Bodice and Sleeve block class yesterday - the second Sunday. Having the class on Sundays is good as there is plenty of time to concentrate and get a good fit. Jen the teacher was her usual (I’ve done the trouser course before) bright, helpful, and very knowledgeable, nothing was too much trouble. There was just three of us and Jen was able to give individual attention. Fantastic! Thanks Jen!
• 5/5 from Cat Wicks, attended Jul 2025: This was a great class to take to dive into pattern making! The teacher, Jen, was full of good information, very patient and on the ball with helping each student at their own pace. Plenty of space and materials to work with, and a very good atmosphere. I would highly recommend!
• 5/5 from Jade Lim Hannah, attended Jul 2025: Jen was a fantastic teacher. She was very clear with her instructions and was always on hand to help with our pattern drafting. There were 4 in the class and she floated about helping us at all stages. I really enjoyed the workshop, it was pitched at the right level and I learnt so much. I will definitely be booking into another class in the future! Thank you again!
• 5/5 from Melissa Craik, attended Mar 2025: Jen is a brilliant teacher, I learned so much from the bodice and sleeve pattern drafting class - having used commercial patterns before but not much experience in pattern drafting, I left with so much invaluable knowledge and blocks tailored to my measurements to use in future projects. I would highly recommend to any keen sewists, thanks again Jen for a fab day!
• 5/5 from Nora Cooke O'Dowd, attended Mar 2025: Really fab class. Learned lots to help improve my dressmaking. Class was small and Jen was very knowledgeable and approachable, giving each of us lots of one on on feedback and help.
• 5/5 from Katherine, attended Nov 2024: Had a great time pattern drafting with Jen. It was a great environment to learn and I feel confident with the results/skills I came away with.
• 5/5 from Nicole McIntyre, attended Nov 2024: I learned so much from Jen! Thank you so much for explaining everything thoroughly and helping me adjust the pattern to fit my body
• 5/5 from Morag, attended Aug 2024: I had such a great day at Jen’s bodice and sleeve drafting class. She is a great teacher and I learnt so much. Nice and informal
• 5/5 from Lee Chalmers, attended Jul 2024: This was an excellent class! I had tried to make a bodice block before but somehow never used it. I realise it’s because Jen was able to offer personal help and adjust my block to actually fit me. Jen is positive and knowledgable and we had a great laugh in the studio. The studio is a wonderful, light space with everything you need. Loads of cafes nearby for lunch. There was even a car park (with space!) right next to the front door. The class was limited to 4 people which meant we each got a personalised experience. Can’t wait to attend another class.
• 5/5 from Plum Gray Muir, attended Jul 2024: This was a really intense class, we achieved a lot. Jen is a lovely teacher calm, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Definitely Good value for money. I should love to attend more classes by Jen.
