Are you tired of purchasing patterns or clothing only to find they never quite sit right? Perhaps you've cut out a "Size 12" only to realise it is far too large or small, or found that standard waist-to-hip ratios never align with your unique shape. The truth is, commercial patterns and ready-to-wear garments are designed for a non-standardised "average" rather than an individual body. Learning to measure the body accurately unlocks the ability to adapt any pattern to your specific proportions before you ever pick up your fabric shears, ensure an excellent fit for your sewing projects, but it also provides a foolproof guide for online shopping eliminating returns and helping to reduce the environmental impact of textile waste. You will learn how to accurately take measurements for tops, skirts, and trousers. Understanding the vital difference between body measurements and finished garment measurements, and why "ease" is the secret to comfort and style. All materials and full instructions will be provided in your workshop kit
