Draping a Garment That Fits

This class is a great compliment to the class on Design and Fit Basics.  You must have a mannequin that is a body double to take this class.  With an understanding of the garment you would like to create, you will create the pattern right on your mannequin.  You will enhance your pattern with grain lines, shaping construction techniques, facings, collars  and seam allowances.  The pattern will be tested by making a muslin to assure fit and great design.

Level: Beginner, Design and Fit Basics class is a requirement for this class. Basic sewing skills needed, no draping or drafting skills needed

Materials fee: 0

Students should bring:  Mannequin, 5 yards muslin, sewing machine (there are a few to share), pins, thread, marking pen, 4 yards blue gridded interfacing (Pellon), quilting rulers if you have them - I will bring some with me.
