Learn how to alter sewing patterns to create garments that fit and flatter your form with teacher and author Lynda Maynard. You’ll never look at a paper pattern the same way again after watching this info-packed class. Lynda’s techniques come to life on dress muslins fitted to three women, each with unique fitting challenges, including sloped shoulders, ample busts and flat backsides. Start by learning to “read” the fit muslin as it points you to the right places to adjust the garment. You’ll learn the importance of grain lines and well-placed darts. Watch how adding or subtracting fabric from one area of the dress magically improves the fit somewhere else. Then learn how to transfer your changes from the muslin back to a dress pattern. The end result: a custom-fit garment tailored perfectly for you!
Important Pattern Information: The sewing pattern on which this class is based ā Vogue 8766 ā is not included with your purchase and may be out of print ā 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.
