What to expect

Aross three 2-hour classes, you’ll:

Draft and adjust a pattern from a garment you bring in

Sew a mock-up (muslin) to test the fit and make refinements

Construct a final version in your desired fabric

You’ll leave with a fully wearable garment and a custom pattern you can reuse again and again.

Ideal for confident sewists who are comfortable using a sewing machine and want to deepen their pattern-making skills.

Materials List (What to Bring to Class)

1. The Garment You Want to Replicate

• Choose a simple, well-fitting item (no stretch fabrics, minimal lining, or heavy tailoring if it’s your first time replicating).

• Tops, shirts, skirts, and pants with basic seams are ideal.

• Make sure it's something you don’t mind handling and pinning (no heirlooms or delicate vintage pieces, please!).

2. Fabric for Your Final Garment

• Bring 1.5 to 3 yards, depending on the original garment. (Optional)

• Fabric should be similar in drape and structure to the original piece.

• Pre-washed is recommended if it’s washable fabric.
