SUMMARY:Clone Your Clothes with Dot n Cross – February 2027
DESCRIPTION:PATTERN CUTTING WORKSHOP \n\n\n\nTELL ME MORE \n\n\n\nEveryone has a garment that they wish would last forever\, or that they could get in lots of different colours and fabrics. Come along on this class\, and learn how to trace off your favourite dress or top\, so that you have a fully workable pattern to take home and make again and again. \n\n\n\nDuring this class\, you will learn how to make a paper pattern from your favourite top or dress\, without having to unpick a thing! We will be creating the pattern\, adding seam allowance\, and even making small pattern changes\, such as changing the length\, or adding a seam line.  \n\n\n\nThere won’t be time to make your garment on the course\, but we will talk about construction techniques and the order to sew it at the end. If your pattern has quite a few pieces\, you might have finalised all pieces by the end of the session. \n\n\n\nPlease bring along something old and loved from your wardrobe or something vintage – we cannot trace recently purchased garments from the last 5-10 years. \n\n\n\nTECHNIQUES YOU WILL LEARN \n\n\n\n\nBasic techniques of tracing off a garment onto dot and cross paper\, using push pins\, tracing wheels\, tape measures and a pattern master\n\n\n\nDiscussing pattern cutting theory including seam allowance and grain lines.\n\n\n\nMaking some pattern pieces from scratch\, eg. straight plackets\, simple facings.\n\n\n\nAdd seam allowance\, then cut out your paper pieces and add notches \n\n\n\nDiscussing order of construction \n\n\n\n\nWHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE PRICE? \n\n\n\n\nWe will provide all the pattern cutting tools you will need and pattern cutting paper.\n\n\n\nCourse booklet to take home.\n\n\n\nLots of attention from the tutor – maximum 5 students in class. \n\n\n\nTea and coffee and cake\, plus 10% discount in the cafe for lunch\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWHAT DO I NEED TO BRING?\n\n\n\n\nYour favourite top\, shirt or dress – send me a photo once you’ve booked of the garment you’re thinking of making to hello@dotncross.com\n\n\n\nI strongly advise you to bring something simple – with just a few pattern pieces\, eg: front\, back\, sleeve and pocket.\n\n\n\nSomething in cotton or a sturdy-ish fabric will be best if this is your first time tracing. We wouldn’t recommend bringing a jersey or stretch garment\, or a complex tailored garment.\n\n\n\nPlease bring along something old and loved from your wardrobe or something vintage – we cannot trace recently purchased garments from the last 5-10 years.\n\n\n\n\nWHO IS THIS CLASS SUITABLE FOR? \n\n\n\nThis is an intermediate class\, meaning you should have prior experience of working with bought patterns and be comfortable with basic pattern cutting terminology. You will get a lot more out of the class if you’ve already made up a few different garments before and got a good grasp of garment construction. We will cover all the pattern cutting basics with you\, such as: seam allowance\, notch\, drill hole\, grain line etc. If you are wondering if this is the course for you\, don’t hesitate to drop me a line to chat it through! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT YOUR TEACHER \n\n\n\nHelen Shine is a skilled pattern cutter with over 12 years of experience in London’s high-end fashion industry\, working with renowned designers like Victoria Beckham\, Mary Katrantzou\, and Karen Millen. \n\n\n\nIn 2019\, she launched ‘Dot n Cross’\, offering hands-on pattern cutting and sewing workshops and retreats in Cornwall\, where she is now based.
