x Alter & Sew 10-3:30 Friday at Pacific Fabrics in SODO
Students 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 (Simplicity, 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.
You may bring in an independent pattern if all these marks are noted.
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.
If you plan to alter a pant pattern, be prepared to make several muslins.
4 sewing machines are available, please let us know if you need one, but you may bring your own.
This class is limited to 6 students.
Muslin, patterns, misc. sewing notions available at Pacific Fabrics with a 10% discount..
Former student Carol S. stated "Last spring I was in one of your Alter & Sew classes and came away with a very nicely fitted muslin and then a blouse."
