Three Sundays
September 13th, 20th, & 27th
2:00pm to 7:00pm
Level 3: You’re confident sewing simple garments and can use a commercial apparel pattern
Have you ever wanted to clone your favorite pair of pants?
In this class, you’ll learn a straightforward process to copy the exact pattern of your pants without taking them apart. Next, create a pattern block that you can use as a base to make into different styles of pants. You’ll do this all while learning the basic principles of pattern making and fitting clothes to your individual body shape.
Copy your pants, make a muslin to check for fit, and end up with an exact replica of your garment!
Taught by Annika Schindler.
