Make it Fit



Sewing is so much more fun when you know that what you are making will fit. But how do you know that? Whether you are new to sewing or a seasoned veteran, fitting can be challenging. Learn what to look for in a pattern to get closer to a good fit, then make a muslin mock-up of your pattern and work to fit it to your body and transfer the changes to your pattern. This hands-on class will help you translate the theory and numbers of pattern alteration into a garment that fits.

Note: pants fitting is addressed in a separate class.

Supplies needed:

  • Blouse, dress, or skirt pattern in correct size range -Please choose a pattern that has design lines for fitting such as darts, princess lines, set-in sleeves. Not sure what size range to start with? Choose size for upper body garments based on a full bust measurement.
  • Size for skirts and pants is based on full hip measurement.
  • pencil
  • notebook
  • scotch tape
  • styling design ruler 
  • muslin to test pattern
