Why Use a Standard Size 12?
We work using a standard size 12 base block to keep the process clear and easy to follow.
This helps everyone focus on understanding pattern cutting principles rather than individual sizing.
The same approach can later be applied to any size.

FAQ
- Do I need to take the 5-week Pattern Cutting course first?No, it's not required, but it's recommended. This workshop is a natural follow-on from the 5-week course and builds on the same approach. If you’ve done it, you’ll find it easier to follow – but beginners are also welcome.
- Will I be working with my own measurements?To keep the class smooth and easy to follow, all participants will draft using a size 12 industry-standard block. However, you’ll learn how to adapt the block to different sizes, so you can later create custom patterns at home. This approach allows the focus to remain on mastering the core principles of pattern cutting without the complexity of individual measurements.
- Do I need to bring anything?All materials and tools will be provided. Just bring a notebook if you’d like to take notes.
- Will I go home with a finished pattern?Yes, you’ll take home your completed trousers block, culottes pattern, and any design adaptations you work on during the session. You’ll also receive a printed handout with step-by-step instructions, so you can continue practising at home with confidence.
