Do you find when you make a woven fabric garment that is fitted to your body that the bust is too tight, or too loose, or the dart / panel seam is in the wrong place?
This workshop will show you how you can amend your patterns to fix these issues.
Please note you will not make a finished garment in this class you will go away with a pattern and toile for your chosen garment to be made again.
What You will learn:
How to adjust your pattern, move darts or panel seams.
Increase / decrease darts.
Adjust the fit of the armhole on your garment that is distorted due to the poor fitting around the bust and align the side seams and hems if these are affected
What you will need to bring

Your chosen fitted dress, blouse or shirt pattern, preferably with a fitted armhole, but this can be discussed beforehand.
Toile fabric to make your pattern with at the end of the day – this will need to be enough for your chosen garment 2.5 m should be enough probably less. An old bedsheet will be suitable or any low cost poly cotton or calico.
