Ever wish you could recreate your favorite shirt, dress, or pants? In our Copy Your Clothes Workshop, you'll learn how to turn garments you already own into reusable sewing patterns—without taking them apart.
Whether you've found the perfect fit, have a beloved piece that's wearing out, or want to create your own custom wardrobe, this workshop will teach you the fundamentals of copying existing garments and translating them into patterns you can sew again and again.
Participants will learn techniques for tracing garment shapes, identifying construction details, adding seam allowances, and creating pattern pieces for future projects. You'll leave with a pattern based on a garment you already love, along with a deeper understanding of how clothing is constructed.
This workshop is ideal for sewists interested in custom fit, slow fashion, garment making, and building confidence beyond commercial patterns.
One simple garment you'd like to copy (tops, skirts, pants, or dresses work best)
A notebook and pen for notes
Any questions you have about fit, alterations, or future project planning
Pattern paper and drafting materials
Instruction and guidance throughout the process
Tools for measuring, tracing, and marking patterns
Some sewing experience is helpful, but you do not need advanced pattern-making knowledge to participate.
Leave with a custom pattern, new skills, and the confidence to recreate the clothes you love.
