📏 This is a long running Course -
Pattern Cutting is a huge subject which requires concentration and precision. Impossible to fit everything into a day or a couple of days, so after discussion with a couple of interested parties, the course will run as follows:

✏️One Full day Wednesday 10th June 10-3pm to layout the draft Block & Hopefully test the fit
Follow-on sessions 10-1pm on alternate Wednesdays for up to 12 sessions (20+ weeks - plus additional time allowed for holiday 'pauses' EG No session w/c 20th July)
We should be all done by mid October/early November.
With a myriad of blocks available, there could be follow-on courses if there was a demand.

This course will run with MINIMUM TWO, maximum Four attendees

All drafting and pattern tools, paper, card, toiling and threads will be provided at sessions. Machines available for making up, or you may bring your own.

Course Cost: £450.00
Deposit £50: https://pay.sumup.com/b2c/Q2V0OC48
Payment installments could be available, please ask if this is required.
By all means get in touch with any questions, and please do pass this on to anyone you think may be interested.
