All About Patterns Fall Session
Reading and cutting patterns are intended to be easy but can be intimidating!
In this class we will take the mystery out of store bought patterns and give you the skills and tools to read and cut with ease and confidence both craft and garment patterns. Get tips and tricks to select a size that actually fits. Find out some of the best places to buy sewing patterns - in stores and on the web.
This class is designed for all levels - from confident beginners to intermediate sewers looking to learn some great tips and tricks for reading sewing patterns. Learn to read sewing patterns for all types of garment & crafts so you can get started making your own hand bags, clothes, costumes, and more. You will learn basic concepts on how to alter and size patterns for different sizes & shapes but note this class is not for more advanced pattern alteration & grading.
Lecture followed by a hands-on workshop. Bring a pattern or buy one (& fabric) from the shop to practice skills and tools to read & cut patterns with ease and confidence. We will read & cut a pattern together!
The lecture is followed by a hands-on workshop where we will work together on a project of choice or purchased pattern & knit from the shop (at a 15% discount).
