Make Your Own Wardrobe with Cal Patch (OCT 28 - NOV 1)

October 28 - November 1 (MON-FRI, 9 AM–4 PM) If you’ve always dreamed about creating patterns based on the measurements of your own beautiful body, here’s your chance! Using techniques from her book, Design-It-Yourself Clothes, Cal will break down the process of drafting basic patterns for a boxy woven top, a knit T-shirt, and a lounge pant—all custom-fit to your unique shape and size. Then, you’ll learn how to take those patterns and stylize them into endless variations. For each of the three styles, you’ll draft a pattern, make a muslin, fit and correct your pattern, and finally sew one or more finished garments. Before you know it, you’ll have a whole new hand-made wardrobe, and leave with the skills to make the clothes you envision. Skill level: Advanced beginner to intermediate. Students must be comfortable using a sewing machine. Intermediate and advanced sewists are also welcome, and can take on more challenging projects. No previous pattern making experience is necessary.
