I copy my favorite garment

Is your favourite garment getting old, but you can’t bring yourself to part with it? Would you like to be able to duplicate it endlessly?
We can copy it for you without unpicking or damaging it, so you can make it as many times as you wish! 

During this training course, we will learn the steps needed to reproduce a garment according to the rules of the craft. 
The course includes:
- theoretical knowledge of pattern drafting: reproduction techniques, translating a garment (3D) into a pattern (2D)
- practical work creating the model
- theoretical knowledge of construction: construction plan, assembly techniques related to the project and appropriate finishing techniques
- making a toile

For simple garments such as T-shirts, sweatshirts, simple blouses and simple skirts: a complete toile can be made during the third course. 

For complex garments such as trousers, complex tops, coats, lined garments, etc., the course time may not be sufficient to complete a final toile (without adjustments).
You may work at home outside the course between sessions, or complete your course cycle by adding an additional workshop (during an open workshop session—schedule to be discussed according to availability) 

This course is intended for intermediate-level or more advanced dressmakers
You must have sewn at least 10 different garments.
We recommend that people with no knowledge of pattern drafting choose a simple garment such as a T-shirt, hoodie, skirt, elasticated-waist shorts, etc., and avoid complex garments such as shirts, coats and lined garments,...
People with knowledge of pattern drafting or an advanced sewing level may choose more complex garments.

The group is limited to a maximum of 6 people. 

 The course includes :

• 3 x 2h30 of sewing with guidance from an experienced teacher
• sewing on high-quality Janome Sewist 780 electronic machines
• basic equipment provided: scissors, pins, thread…
• pattern paper for tracing
• smiles, kindness and respect for everyone
