Immerse yourself in a transformative 3-day fitting and pattern cutting retreat at the stunning Bosworth Hall Hotel.

On our 3-Day Pattern Making Retreat you’ll develop and fitted bodice, skirt and sleeve blocks and learn how to use them to create bespoke patterns ready to sew your own unique designs!

This is your chance to refine your skills or start fresh in the art of fitting and pattern making, surrounded by like-minded creators in a beautifully historic country house.

At the MHW Fitting and Pattern Making retreat you’ll dive deep into the world of fitting and pattern cutting with expert guidance from Sarah Laws, designer of My Handmade Wardrobe Patterns, and Emma Smith, a seasoned tutor and passionate dressmaker.

Weather you want to create a fitted bodice block to use as a base for your designs, copy a garment you own and make it again and again, tackle any tricky fitting challenges or design and bring to life a dress or garment for a special occasion, your tutors, Emma and Sarah are well equipped and happy to help you achieve your goals.

We love welcoming new retreat attendees and many sewists return to us to build and develop their skills too!
