Recent reviews of Pattern Drafting 2 Day Workshop: Trouser Block

• 5/5 from Joseph Horton, attended Jan 2026: Great weekend making trousers with Jen and others. I am a complete basic so messaged Jen beforehand to see what skills I might need to practice before the lessons. She gave me a couple of exercises which helped a lot as I felt a lot more confident going into the first day. Would definetely reccomend to a fellow beginner; Jen let's you go at your own pace and explains every step in great detail. I might not have mastered by own pair of trousers, but I feel very confident to go and alter my pattern on my own now. I'd highly reccomend :)
• 5/5 from Kate Allen, attended Jan 2026: Really useful class: Jen explains really well - her classes are very enjoyable - she has so much patience and good humour - great atmosphere!
• 5/5 from Sheena Reid, attended Jan 2026: Jen was the best of teachers. She was calm, clear and really helpful. Lots of 1-1 advice and help to get the perfect fit, and I learnt so much from also watching her help my classmates. Great fun, relaxed 2 days. Delighted with my trouser block, and confident to use it and even to make one for my daughter. Great coffee shops nearby too! Can't wait to go back for more learning.
• 5/5 from Layla Tree, attended Jan 2026: Jen is so lovely. She is very knowledgeable and I have learned so much over the weekend. I am really excited to make a pair of trousers from my block.
• 5/5 from Ruth Watson, attended May 2025: Amazing day in the studio, Jen was so lovely and patient, she took us through pattern making step-by-step with takeaway instructions and measurements. I am so happy with my block, I have previously avoided trousers and now feel more confident to try on my own after this class.
• 5/5 from Marianne O'Loughlin, attended May 2025: This class was so helpful, interesting and fun! A full day, Jen stepped us through drafting up our own trousers from our measurements. She was so calm and patient and it was inspiring to be in her gorgeous studio. I would 100% recommend this course - I learn so much and it has given me the confidence to alter and draft patterns.
• 5/5 from Lisa Osborne, attended Apr 2025: Really enjoyed the class. Jen explained all the rtechnical details and we successfully produce our trouser blocks. Very happy to have a wearable toile
• 5/5 from Jo Ellis, attended Jan 2025: A really enjoyable day where I felt I learnt something very useful - I can't wait to make myself some perfectly fitting trousers from the pattern I made! Jen was lovely - patient, supportive and obviously hugely knowledgeable and talented.
• 5/5 from Matthew Woodthorpe, attended Jan 2025: I've never tailored my own clothes before but I would really like to. This class with Jen was so fun to get me started with a bespoke trouser template and I feel confident to now give trouser making a go on my own! Jen makes the class accessible, relaxed and easy flowing - even for a novice (I did a cushion cover 9 months ago...). Definitely recommend and will be back for the jacket course :)
• 5/5 from Anna Hulton, attended Jan 2025: Excellent class, well structured, good pace, clearly knowledgeable teacher. Very good at pitching her teaching to different levels of experience. I would recommend it.
• 5/5 from Maggie Emslie, attended Jan 2025: Jen took us through the steps to transfer our measurements and create a trouser pattern unique to our shapes. We each went away with a pattern block and the confidence to go ahead and make our own “made to measure” trousers. This course is a must for anyone who finds it impossible to buy trousers that fit. Jen is lovely, very knowledgeable and creative. Thank you!
• 5/5 from Alison Bowyer, attended Jan 2025: Jen was a great teacher and the day was well planned to ensure we all left with a trouser block that fitted and ideas for making style alterations in future. The venue is an old school so isn't smart or luxurious but there are nice cafes and shops nearby for lunch so it didn't detract from the day for us. It is a long day but worth it for everything we learnt. Thanks Jen for a lovely day.
• 5/5 from Nicole McIntyre, attended Sep 2024: Jen is an amazing teacher! This is my third class with her and she’s helped me build my skills and knowledge. I highly recommend this class if you want to learn how to create trousers tailored to your body measurements and personal style.
• 5/5 from Sarah, attended Sep 2024: Amazing class! Thank you, Jen for tutoring us through the complicated process of drafting a trousers pattern to fit our own body shapes. So delighted with my new template!
• 5/5 from Lesley Grimsdall, attended Sep 2024: I attended the trouser pattern drafting workshop today. Teacher Jen, was so knowledgeable and friendly. The venue was bright and large. All materials were thoughtfully provided. I made a pattern block for trousers. The class was very worthwhile cost-wise as I came away with the ability to make a pair of trousers that would fit me perfectly. A huge achievement for me as I had been struggling with trouser fit for a long time. A very satisfying day taught by the lovely Jen! Throughly recommended.
• 5/5 from Katherine Brown, attended Jun 2024: Had a really good time learning pattern drafting with Jen. Don’t think I would’ve got such a good fit without the help and support I got in class!
