Skirt Block Pattern Making Workshop

Learn the Foundations of Pattern Making with Doris Whitmore

Have you ever struggled to find a skirt pattern that fits just right?

Join visiting pattern maker Doris Whitmore teaching exclusively at The Sourpuss Emporium this July, and discover the foundations of pattern making by drafting your own basic skirt block. This hands-on workshop is designed to help you understand the principles of fit, garment design and pattern drafting while creating a custom block tailored to your measurements.

A skirt block is one of the most valuable tools in dressmaking and pattern making. Once you've created your block, you'll be able to use it as the foundation for countless skirt designs, helping you create garments that fit beautifully and reflect your own unique style.

Whether you're interested in dressmaking, pattern making or simply understanding how clothing is designed, this workshop offers a wonderful introduction to the creative possibilities of custom garment design.
