Corset Pattern Making - CWA Rooms, COOLAMON
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.
