Your Perfect Body Print

If you are serious about designing your own clothes and not just sewing clothes then it is essential to learn how to make your own bodice pattern!

The bodice pattern is the most important pattern. It is the foundation of all the upper garments we wear, from various tops, dresses, bras, corsets, vests, jackets, coats and sweaters. Having a custom bodice guarantees the clothes you make will fit you no matter what garment you decide to make (from scratch). Even if you lose or gain weight the shape of the bodice will retain and adding more allowance is quite simple. In this course you will begin your journey to patternmaking your own clothes.
