Workshop description:

It is time to elevate the skills you learned in the Introductions to Pattern Drafting workshop.
We will draft the Lilou Bag from scratch. The Lilou Bag is a structured satchel bag that has a recessed gusset, a charming flap and overflap, a curved slip pocket with a facing and a rolled handle. You will also learn how to measure a a partially curved gusset to create the body of the bag, and some tips to reduce bulk should you make the Lilou Bag in leather.
These intermediate drafting skills will be a valuable addition to your pattern drafting toolbox and can be applied to many future creations, whether you create them from scratch or use them to refine an existing pattern.
This workshop will be taught using the imperial measurement system and is a prerequisite for future pattern drafting workshops taught by The Bag Making Academy.
Because this is a pattern drafting driven workshop, our focus will be perfecting your drafting skills while creating the actual pattern pieces. While we will briefly touch on materials and stabilizers, we will not discuss them or bag construction in detail. But worry not! A comprehensive online course covering materials, stabilizers and step-by-step construction techniques will be offered by the Bag Making Academy in March 2025.
