Unlock Creative Potential with Digital Plus Size Skirt Blocks / Slopers

I am constantly updating and improving my basic blocks and working on my plus size blocks is something I love to do. If only my time was unlimited!

I have just created a PLUS size set of full circle skirt blocks in UK sizes 20-44 and USA sizes 16 – 40 – the EU size equivalent is also provided as 48 – 72.

As always by blocks come with a detailed set of measurements and as I update all my blocks I am adding ‘Creative User Guides’ and guides to sizing and fit. I feel it’s important to provide as much technical information as I can with each set of blocks.

Here is the creative user guide that comes with this set of blocks –

You can also find a helpful video on YouTube that explains the block and guides you through making the most of this digital block.

I want you to be as creative as you possibly can be with this block, a full circle skirt shape has so much potential, I have included an extra long skirt shape for you to use as a base for bridal trains and evening gowns too!

Have fun using the block!

Happy Sewing & Pattern Cutting!

Guide to Sizing & Fit – The Raglan Hoody Block / Sloper – With 2 Hood Styles –

I love a hoody. I live in them! I have developed my basic hoody block into a raglan style hoody with 2 hood options. The block also comes with a free guide, that you can find below as it was too large a file to add to Etsy as it has so many pictures!

I am currently in the process of adding this latest block to Etsy so all versions will be available soon, including the print at home version and the A0 copy shop version and of course the ready printed and posted version too. I may well add an Ai version for my Ai students too.

As I update all my basic blocks I am adding fitting guides, plus free 1/4 and 1/2 scale versions for practice too!

If you need a link to my Etsy shop – here you go!

Happy Pattern Cutting & Sewing!
