Corset Pattern Making - CWA Rooms, COOLAMON

Your own Corset Patterns using my Corset Block.


Description

The Studio Faro Corset Block is the outcome of a pattern-making project for a local designer.  Designed and fitted to meet industry standards, it's a favourite with local makers and textile teachers.   There is a maximum 6 students per workshop, so every students gets loads of teachers time. 

During this one-day workshop you will use the Corset Block to produce Corset patterns with design features that may include tucks, fullness and interesting seam detail.

  • Via teacher demonstrations and using our detailed pattern instructions you will make a corset pattern. There will be several designs to choose from in the course materials.
  • You will learn patternmaking techniques for introducing tucks, drape and fullness into your corset patterns.
  • You will understand the best use of grain in your corset patterns and the most effective seam allowances for your pattern.
  • Thorugh samples and discussion we will examine different methods of construction according to end use.

You will take home a completed Corset Pattern, patternmaking instructions for future projects, an understanding of fashion corset construction and a list of suppliers for corset materials and trims.

This workshop is one of four sequential fashion design workshops I'm running in the school holidays.  If you book all four of these workshops, via this link, you can get a 15% discount on the single workshop fee.  Fashion Design Introductory - 4 Days

It was a great class with easy step by step instructions that you can understand and pick up very easily. The class is also very flexible which you can tailor to the students needs. You get to do more then one corset pattern which really reinforces the concepts. Anita is extremely passionate about what she does and very generous with her tips and advices for the industry. I took a lot out of the classes.
