Description

Students will sew a muslin from existing basic blocks, conduct a guided fitting, and learn how to diagnose and correct fit issues before transferring all changes back to their pattern. You’ll leave with a personalized basic block set that fits your body and serves as a reliable foundation for future designs.

We will cover things like:

How to assess fit through balance, proportion, and drag lines
Common fitting adjustments for bodice blocks
How to transfer muslin changes cleanly and accurately to paper patterns
How to refine a basic block for repeated, consistent use

Prerequisite: Having taken our Patternmaking 101 workshop is very helpful and will give you a head start on customization but it is not mandatory. Those who have not taken Patternmaking 101 can opt in to get a size copy of Emma’s pattern blocks to use in class.

This class requires recent sewing machine experience — this is not a learn-to-sew class. Students who have taken [Sewing 101] or a private lessons with me tend to be the most prepared, as my teaching style builds the strong foundation all other classes draw on. That said, if you feel confident, you know yourself best! This note is simply here to make sure you're set up to enjoy every minute — not spend it catching up or unlearning old habits.

What is Included:

5.25 Hours of workshop ? Break for lunch
Live demo
Muslin and thread for sewing mock up
All tools, notions, and instruction for the workshop.
Pattern block PDFs
FREE month of Emma’s substack!

What do you need to bring?

It’s a good idea to bring a notebook or sketchbook to tape in mini patterns, sketch, and take notes!
Sloper front and back from Patternmaking 101 or a printed out copy of Emma’s PDF Blocks
IMPORTANT: these are the only patterns allowed for this class, you cannot bring in a commercial garment pattern or AI generated slopers.
