Nip and Tuck, Alter a Commercial Top Pattern Zipperde-Do-Da Seams To Me … Collars, Cuffs & Pocket Flaps

 

 

  Nip and Tuck, Alter a Commercial Top Pattern

  Most commercial patterns are created based on an 18 year old’s perfect figure. So, any adjustments in size to Simplicity, Butterick, Vogue patterns and the like are based on this foundation.  For most of us this just does not work.  Therefore, this class will teach you to draw outside the lines and create a pattern that fits without altering the intended look.  We will cover the upper body configurations (e.g. blouse, darts, sleeves, neckline, shoulders).

  Come join this class and learn to:

               Cut and paste and make a waist.     

               Watch and see, you gotta sleeve.

               Know the art and move a dart

Seams To Me …

Collars, Cuffs & Pocket Flaps

Learn a new method of cutting and stitching collars so that the points match, pocket flaps don't have strange bumps and sleeve cuffs don't become a nightmare.  These simple details make the difference between a professional look and the dreaded "made with loving hands" look.
