Bespoke shoemaker Carreducker is holding a pattern making course in London in October and January, with a limited number of places remaining.

Co-founder Deborah Carre said: “A well-fitting pattern is an essential part of footwear design and the skills and techniques that you learn will help you to design and create your own well-fitting shoe patterns in the future.”

The five-day class will teach:

• Familiarisation with the shoe last
• Taping and designing onto the shoe last
• Learning about edge treatments and seam allowances on a footwear pattern
• Making a standard footwear pattern from the last
• Creating the footwear pattern pieces for a specific shoe design from the standard

The course, taking place between 21 and 25 October, is limited to four students and interested parties are advised to book as soon as possible to avoid missing a place.
