This company is in the UK but a good explanation as to why my job exists!
There's a truth that the sewing industry doesn't want you to know...
It's not you - it's the pattern.
Patterns are built around a standardised body that doesn't particularly resemble anyone in real life. They're averages. They have to be for them to be sold - it's not possible to mass-produce patterns tailored to every individual. They are starting points that need a lot of adjusting before they reflect the person wearing them, and that can be tricky to do for yourself
But if you have a mannequin that reflects your exact proportions..? Well, that changes everything.
At the Make a Moulage Workshop, over two days you'll measure yourself and build your own body double. A mannequin in your exact proportions that you can use as a reference point for fitting, pattern development and understanding why clothes behave the way they do on your shape.
It's hands-on, a fun project, and genuinely useful for every project that follows.
