Garment Pattern Alterations

In this class you’ll learn to alter and adjust your clothing patterns using the Pivot & Slide method. Altering your patterns guarantees your garment’s fit before you even lay out your fabric. Learning to alter your own patterns also means you have control of the design features; would you rather your pattern has a V-neck instead of a scoop neck? What about changing the sleeve design? As long as your pattern has the basic construction features you need, the finer details can be adjusted to your desires.

By the end of class you will have an altered pattern block ready for you to take home and use to construct your garment.

We will not be sewing in this class, you will not need to bring any fabric or your machine.
