What if you could take the pattern of your favorite tee shirt?
What if there was an easy and straightforward process to not only copy the exact pattern without taking them apart, but also to make it into a block pattern that you can use to make into different styles of shirts—all while learning about the basic principles of pattern making and fitting to your individual body shape?
In this three week course you will take the pattern of YOUR favorite tee shirt, make a mock up to fine tune the fit, and then use your pattern to sew a tee shirt in class. Along with your finished shirt, you’ll also leave with the skills to copy the pattern from any garment you choose, a deeper understanding of the pattern-making process, and more confidence sewing with knit fabrics!
