Could you turn your own measurements into a garment pattern? ✂️

Pattern cutting is one of those fashion skills that can completely change the way you design and make.

Our 3-Day Beginners Pattern Cutting Workshop takes you right back to the foundations.

You'll explore how to:
📏 Take accurate body measurements
✏️ Draft a standard skirt block
👗 Draft a darted bodice with sleeves
✂️ Create made-to-measure blocks
🧵 Turn a block into a working pattern
📌 Add seam allowances, notches and professional annotations

You'll leave with practical pattern-cutting knowledge that you can continue using and developing in your own projects.

📅 16–18 September
⏰ 10am–4pm
📍 FC Designer Workspace, 9 Durham Road, London N7 7FB
✨ Beginner friendly

🧵 Community-led circular fashion in action.

We were delighted to welcome representatives from Islington Council to see our community repair programme first-hand.

With the continued support of Islington Council, these free sessions are making practical circular skills accessible to our local community.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and to Islington Council for continuing to support the programme.

👗 Your design doesn't start at the sewing machine – it starts with the pattern.

If you're developing your own garments, understanding how to create and work from a dress block gives you a foundation you can return to again and again.

Our 2-Day Beginners Pattern Cutting Workshop: Dress Block is ideal for aspiring designers and makers who want to become less reliant on commercial patterns and start developing ideas of their own.

Two days. One fundamental skill. Endless possibilities for what you create next. ✂️
