Nip
and Tuck, Alter A Commercial Top Pattern The
411 series on commercial pattern alteration.
Most
commercial patterns are created based on an 18 year old's perfect figure.
So, any adjustments in size to Simplicty, Butterick, Vogue patterns and
the like are based on this foundation. For most of us this just does not
work.
Therefore,
these two separate classes will teach you to draw outside the lines and
create a pattern that fits without altering the intended look.
We
will cover upper body configurations (e.g. blouse, darts, sleeves,
neckline, shoulders).
This
class will consist of two sessions. Come join these classes and learn to:
Cut
and paste and make a waist.
Watch
and see, you gotta sleeve.
Know
the art and move a dart.
Fiddle
and futz, there's a lifted buttz.
