Creating Garment Patterns That Really Fit
Creating Garment Patterns That Really Fit with Annie Smith
Do you have a garment in your closet that fits you perfectly and wish you had several more? Discover how to create a pattern from that garment that can used over and over again. Step-by-step, learn how to design each section for a perfect fit and copy - without taking the garment apart.
In this five day immersion class, we’ll make one pattern from your garment and learn to take correct measurements on yourself without a partner. In addition, we’ll take a simple commercial pattern and learn how to make adjustments to the pattern so it will fit you perfectly. Once you know these skills, you’ll be able to make yourself better fitting clothes than what you can find in a store.
Students should have a basic knowledge of garment construction.
