Attention up-cyclers, people who want to create apparel from your own patterns, and those who want to learn a new skill, this workshop is for you!

Join fashion designer Stephanie Mould to draft your perfect size block a top, pants or skirt and learn how to create your perfect outfit!

Class Description: Entry Level Pattern Drafting. Learn to create a set of blocks in your
personal size.

Join us for a step-by-step entry level pattern drafting class. In the workshop you
will learn to make a set of blocks in your personal measurements!

A “block” is a master pattern with ease, darts, and necklines drawn in custom, they are usually in a thin cardboard for sturdiness and to trace out.

You will take home step by step instructions for any blocks not drafted in workshop
time.

Small class size of 6 students max.

What You’ll Learn:
1. How to Take Measurements:
You’ll learn how to take proper body measurements using a measuring tape for yourself
or a client.


2. How to draft a block:
You will start with any of the following blocks: Women’s Long Bodice, Women’s Skirt,
Unisex Pants, Men’s Bodice. From there the Bodice Block can be altered further to the
Fitted Bodice Block, Torso Block, or Casual Shirt Block, as well as the Sleeve Block can
be drafted! These are all in the take home instructions, or you can come back for 1 on 1
help.

3. How to Correctly use Drafting Rulers:
You will learn how to accurately use pattern drafting rulers such as the French curve, hip
curve, and square rulers.

4. How to Transfer Block Draft to a Sewing Pattern:
You will learn how to properly use tracing paper to create a pattern with seam
allowance, grainlines, and fold lines. There will be a 2 week break for the students to
sew a muslin “mock-up”. This will require anywhere from ½ yard to 2 yards depending
on what block or how many you get done in class 1.

5. How to Make Alterations to the Mock-Up:
Learn how to tell where the mock-up needs to be taken in, and how to transfer that to
your draft.


6. How to Transfer Draft to Cardstock:
The final step of the workshop is transferring your block draft onto cardstock using an
Awl. Then you will cut out and holepunch! You can now easily trace out your block and
create anything!
