Fitting and Alterations and Custom Projects

Learn how to alter sewing patterns to create garments that fit and flatter your form . You'll never look at a paper pattern the same way again after this class. Start by learning to "read" the fit muslin as it points you to the right places to adjust the garment. You'll learn the importance of grain lines and well-placed darts. Watch how adding or subtracting fabric from one area of the dress magically improves the fit somewhere else. Then learn how to transfer your changes from the muslin back to the pattern. The end result: a custom-fit garment tailored perfectly for you!
