Last night we finished up another successful Patternmaking & Shaking course! Happily, but frustratingly, the next course was already sold out before this one even started, so we have added intensive options to help with the long wait times - we will be running a “Patternmaking and Shaking Intensive” on Anzac Day public holiday, as well as a “Recreate Your Wardrobe Favourite” workshop on the 6th April. Together, these equal the same content as the short course. Book them separately or together! See you there 👋🏼
