Drape a custom Knit Block & Draft a Sleeve Pattern in a 3 Day Workshop with Lynda Maynard
Friday and Saturday -A knit will be DRAPED directly onto the body for a custom fit. Once that is fitted, a sleeve pattern will be DRAFTED. This method was featured in the 2016 summer issue of Threads Magazine and a Sleeve article in a later issue.
Using this, students can create a basic knit block paper pattern for knit tops, tunics, dresses and tank dresses in a weekend. This pattern may be also used to create a woven sloper.
Sunday- Lynda will guide you through the steps of using your knit block pattern and sleeves to alter a commercial pattern and quick design changes. This is based on her article recently in Threads Magazine and her CD book De-Mystyifying Fit $27.95 here or $35.95 International orders here.
Knit Block Fabric Kit: $30 (1 sheet of Tap Sheeting and pattern paper)
Tea, coffee, water and lunch will be provided.
Please bring a tight tee shirt to wear and measure over.
No Refunds after June 11, 2017.
