Description
This in person class will explore how to make your own patterns that fit your individual body shape. In this four session class we will cover intermediate patternmaking concepts, including:
- measurements
- making & fitting a sloper for bodice, sleeve, and skirt
- how to determine appropriate seam allowances for straight and curved seams
- how to develop styles through manipulation of sloper darts and curves, and other tools of the trade
Students will finish the course with a minimum of a finessed bodice sloper, sleeve, and skirt sloper, as well as fitted muslins for each sloper. In addition, students should finish with a muslin that they styled for themselves and from which they can trace, cut and sew a garment for themselves. PLEASE NOTE: The prerequisite for taking this course is the introductory patternmaking course. Join us!
This course must meet minimum enrollment by January 29 in order to run. Register today!
