In this five weeks course, we are going to take the time to understands how to create a blouse pattern. 

Starting with a bodice block and an example of a blouse you would like to make, you are going to learn how to move darts, add ease to a block, add yokes, pockets, frills or pleats, maybe a collar.

Together we will think about the length of your blouse, and the kind of opening you want. After a first draft and a first fitting in calico, we will proceed to the corrections of the blouse and start working on the sleeves. 

After a sleeve check, you will be able to neaten your pattern pieces in order to have a paper pattern or toile pattern that you will be able to use and re-use for ever.

​
