Class participants learn how their machines form a stitch, to choose the proper pattern size, to prepare their pattern and fabric, then cut and sew their skirt. You'll be taught about fabric grain, pattern symbols and what they mean, and learn good sewing habits that will save you time.

Afterward, you'll select and purchase the fabric and the notions you'll use to construct your slacks during the next t wo sessions. At the close of this class, you'll have a great fitting pair of slacks and a pattern you can use to make more on your own!

During this intensive 5-hour class, participants learn the steps to perform some of the more difficult sewing tasks that lend a quality touch to their garments. ONLY for the serious sewer, you'll create, step-by-step, shaped darts, seam finishes, hem techniques, lapped, centered or slot, trouser, invisible and hand-picked zippers, bound buttonholes, patch pockets, pucker-free in-seam pockets and welt pockets with and without flaps. Take home your step-by-step samples for future reference.

Frustrated with Fit? Identify your fitting issues.....Then create your own personalized fit pattern. Use your new skill to alter a bodice and skirt sloper for a perfect fit....every time! ONLY for the serious sewer, class participants learn to take accurate measurements, identify what causes ill-fitting garments and the methods to perform alterations to a paper pattern and achieve a perfect fit. Students will take home a fitting shell that can be used to make alterations to other patterns.

Still Searching for that Perfect Tailored Trouser Pattern? Look No Further. Have a pattern customized for YOUR body, not some non-existent size 8 fit model that hasn't changed since 1957! For less money than you've probably spent on patterns that DON'T fit, you'll have one that will fit and flatter...every time!
