Fast-Track Fitting

via Craftsy

Overview

Learn how to alter a sewing pattern with tips and techniques just for beginners! Using a Vogue pattern, you’ll learn how to alter your flat pattern pieces from top to bottom. You’ll love making commercial patterns fit you perfectly without multiple muslin fittings. Joi shares her industry-insider knowledge with a fun, friendly and easy-to-follow teaching style that will give you the confidence to tackle fit, without having fits! Important Pattern Information: The sewing pattern on which this class is based — Vogue 1004 — is not included with your purchase and may be out of print — check with online retailers. This class is rich in essential sewing techniques, so if the pattern is out of print, we encourage you to look for an alternative pattern with similar style details. You might also be able to find the original pattern through a private reseller.
