Forget off-the-rack—it’s time to create clothes that actually fit you.

Join pattern maker Andrea Streefkerk for a two-day deep dive into the magic of pattern making. Learn to take your own measurements and transform them into a perfectly fitted skirt pattern—no more gaping waistbands or awkward hemlines!

Andrea will demystify commercial patterns and teach you essential flat pattern-making techniques, including darts and the slash-and-open method.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll have your very own custom skirt block and a sample toile, setting you up to sew clothes that fit like a dream.

Held at Ballarat’s Australian Centre for Rare Arts and Forgotten Trades, a world-class facility dedicated to learning and preserving Australia’s rare arts and trades through a series of workshops, masterclasses, events, and residencies.
