Description

Calling all large breasted sewists!

Does it feel like you can never seem to achieve that perfect fitting top?
Do you tend to ‘go large’ to be on the safe side, so it fits on the bust but is too big everywhere else?
Does the bust dart never point at your bust point?
Heard about an FBA, but looks way too difficult to tackle alone?

In this one day masterclass we’ll focus on how to perform an FBA on both darted and princess-line bodices. We’ll practise the methodology using small scale patterns until you feel comfortable with the process (it is very ordered!), then we’ll put all your learning into practice on your chosen pattern.

During the day we will cover how to:

Measure yourself accurately
Select the optimal pattern size
Tissue fit
Determine the FBA amount and make the adjustment
Recognise additional related fit adjustments

Note: you will not be sewing a finished garment, but will be sewing a toile (test bodice). The effect on sleeves will not be covered on the day, but we will discuss if time.

Experience

Confident beginner/Intermediate/Advance sewists

You should have made a number of garments from sewing patterns and be familiar with using and reading patterns.   Experience of making simple pattern adjustments for fit would be useful but not essential.

Materials and Equipment

A sewing pattern of your choice; this should be a fitted/semi fitted top or dress bodice.  Ideally this would be a garment you have already made but are unhappy with the fit – and bring along the garment

The following can be bought or borrowed on the day, but you can bring your own:

Swedish tracing paper 1-2m
1m calico or similar for toile (test bodice)
Patternmaster/large set square/grade ruler
HB pencil and rubber
Coloured pencils or pens
Narrow masking tape or Scotch magic tape
Basic sewing kit

Maximum class size: 6 students

Tea and coffee are available throughout the day, but please bring a packed lunch.
