Creating Garment Patterns from Your Closet
Creating Garment Patterns from Your Closet with Annie Smith
Learn how to create patterns from your existing clothing without taking the garment apart! Annie will teach you how to inspect the garment for all of the fashion details and copy them to your pattern. You will learn how to adjust the garment to suit you based on your preferences. Make two garment patterns and choose one to use to make a garment.
