Your measurements will then be applied to the drafting rules. A paper pattern without seam allowance will be made and a calico bodice will be cut. The calico may be made in this class or completed at home before the next session. The bodice block may be developed into a dress block with the addition of a skirt block.

Session 2 - (10-1pm - lunch - 2-5pm) - Your calico garment will be fitted to your exact body shape and then you will make any adjustments to the paper pattern. If the adjustments are minor a cardboard block can be made from the paper pattern.
