You’ve mastered your machine, you’ve been sewing with patterns, and now you realize that you have ideas and visions and just can’t find the right pattern to go with them! Maybe you’re a budding designer, or maybe your body type isn’t the one the pattern companies design for. Worry no more: making your own collection of patterns is simple and so worth it! We’re practicing flat patternmaking, so you’ll draft paper pattern pieces for two garments: a simple skirt and a knit top. We’ll make a muslin and practice fitting that garment to your body specifically, so that when you leave, you’re ready to make a whole wardrobe unique to your body and your style!
This class assumes you have Intro and Intermediate Sewing under your belt (or equivalent skills) and have either taken our Patterns I/II class or have experience sewing clothing from a pattern–you’ll need a basic knowledge of sewing apparel to really get the most out of the lessons.
We’re using Design It Yourself Clothes by Cal Patch as the text for this class. Your copy of the book is included in the registration fee!
$185 class fee includes text, measuring tape, handouts, most supplies, and unlimited Sewing911 access with your instructor.
