Do you wish everything you made turned into a go-to piece in your wardrobe, and you never found yourself saying "I've got nothing to wear" despite a wardrobe full of makes?
Or panic buying fabric because your partner was waiting, and you felt pressured to just grab something?
Or avoiding patterned fabrics altogether because you're never quite sure if they're you?
 
This workshop will change all of that.
 
By the end of the day you'll know exactly which sewing patterns to buy or draft that you'll love when they're made up, which fabrics to reach for without second-guessing, and which prints and patterns suit your personal style, so you can stop fearing them and start using them to add instant personality to everything you make.

What you'll discover:
Your silhouette story, the shapes that feel most like you
Your colour story, the palette that works with your colouring and your life
Your fabric story, the textures and weights you're naturally drawn to
Your pattern personality,  so patterned fabrics become your friend, not a gamble
 
When: Saturday 9th August 2026, 10am–4pm
Where: Made My Wardrobe Studio, 27 Portland Square, Bristol, BS2 8SA
