I will go through how to use patterns, the markings on patterns and what they mean and take a look at a pattern from each of the 'Big 4' (Simplicity, Burda, Vogue and Butterick) so you can get an idea how each work.
I will also go though some independent pattern makers that are available and the advantages/disadvantages of using them over the big 3. We will look at the different methods for cutting out fabric using patterns and how you would go about selecting fabrics to use with different patterns. You will also have an opportunity to have a brief look at working an overlocker and have a go yourself using one.
Session 4- In this session we will go over everything we have done in the last sessions and have an opportunity to carry on with projects started in the last sessions or start a new one using the knowledge gained with guidance from myself.
