New Orleans - Alter & Sew Commercial Patterns with Ryliss- Class Discount w/Kenneth D. King's Workshop
You will alter a pattern*, cut and sew a muslin, fit, and transfer alterations back to the pattern for a custom fitted garment.
* This is really important - upper body patterns should be sized by the bust measurement. lower body patterns should be sized by the hip measurement.
Commercial patterns (Simplcity, Vogue, McCalls, Kwik Sew, Butterick, Burda, New Look) are easier to use, all of the information is printed on them for alterations and they have seam allowances.
If you choose an independent pattern, be prepared to make more than one muslin. Many independent patterns do not have the apex or the waistline marked, and some have no seam allowances. If you use a CAD program to make your pattern, your body measurements need to be accurate.
The workshop will be held at the Wendy Schoen Sewing Studio. 2923 Tchoupitoulas St.
New Orleans, LA 70115
If you need to rent a sewing machine, Wendy rents them out for $125 for the after servicing charge. If the machine is OK, she will waive the fee. She has 2 Janome 1100s, Janome 9000, 1 Viking Designer I, Baby Lock Elegante, Bernina 1500.
Registration Deadline: December 30, 2017. A minimum enrollment is necessary by the Registration Deadline to run these classes. If you are flying in from out of state, inquire about the status of the class before you purchase your airline tickets to make sure the class is a "GO".
